Up around 7am, bedtime is usually between 10 and 10.30pm, sleep time is not usually much before midnight though

Blighmy Brian, takes you a long time to drink your Horlicks doesn't......

Yep, I have a mug which holds 1.75L (just realised that is bigger than most of our cars

). Takes a whole kettle of water on it's own, Kim can't lift it when it's full

BTW; It's plain old breakfast tea for me too after a glass of apple or breakfast juice

Okay, I also usually drink a cup of tea before drinking a coffee, but that's like 1 min before, sometimes after. But definitely need to drink at least some water before drinking the coffee. So the coffee is not literally the first thing, but I could live without that cup of tea, but "not" without coffee. If I don't drink it, I get a headache in 1 hour and can't get rid of it for quite some time.

But what I find interesting is the fact, that a lot of you do breakfast in the morning. My first meal is (if I wake up at 6:20am) at 9-11 am. But a lot of times it happens, that I don't have time for breakfast and don't eat anything before the lunch (2-4pm)

Trish and I often have three (instant) coffees each, when we first get up in the morning..(over the first hour/hour and a half we are up ..)

Trish and I can have quite a bit of caffiene before we go to bed without it keeping us awake too...

This thread seems to be a club of coffee lovers

All right, let's find out what method you prefer to stick to in order to brew your lovely coffee.
I see that Dazz's one is an instant coffee.
Mine is geyser type coffee maker (I used to brew it with Espresso coffee maker before it broke down).

We have a basic coffee maker (that makes a good Cappuccino) but usually only use it when we have guests..

Interesting..

Okay, if I have enough time I make/drink so called "Turkish coffee" (it's called like that here and different elsewhere I guess) - I drink it "black" (no milk) or with just little milk. Depends on my mood I guess. But, if I'm in a hurry, I make myself an espresso (I'm pretty sure you all know that one) with a coffee/espresso machine.

Do you also call that coffee pot, where you brew "Turkish coffee", Turka?

Hm..maybe, but haven't heard that expression yet myself. We call it "džezva" or I've read somewhere, that in English, it's written "Cezve" and we also call it "ibrik".

They can look "normal" as these or something like this or even this. Have all 3 of them.

Yes, this is what is called Turka in Russia. As far as I remember well this sort of plot is placed in a hot sand in Turkey to brew a real coffee. So our Turkish friends may confirm or bust my sentence.

Monday: It depends (usually between 5.50am till 7.00am)
Tuesday-Friday: 5.40am
Saturday, Sunday: no rule (from 7am to 10am usually)

First thing in the morning? Convincing myself that I need to get up... Normally 20 minutes between alarm clock ringing and me driving off to work (including breakfast). And NO coffee for me, thank you!

kittikat · **Reply #43: November 06, 2011, 10:48:16**

Monday to Friday my alarm goes off at 7 and I get out of bed at 7.10 after the news. After a shower, tidying up the kitchen after my son's midnight snack attack

and having breakfast, I'm out the door just after 8. At work by 8.30 or there abouts.

Weekends I sleep in until about 8.30.

Most nights I'm in bed around 11.

steinrk · **Reply #44: November 06, 2011, 21:28:18**

Mon-Fri: Alarm goes off at 5.15am, I'm normally in the car by 5.30am, and then I spend the next 50-55min to wake up

Arriving work - I'll turn on the PC, make myself a cup of TEA and start reading emails while I'm having breakfast that I prepared before I left the house the same morning....

Getting to bed: always to late

It's good you have a nice stable job, many people today are not so fortunate.

I think GPS auto steer is in the next model to arrive in Europe next year,,,,, after all, they have to add something new don't they.

I don't think I could confidently rely on that..

The way they are changing the roads around the country..

I have a late model Garmin GPS with the latest maps

BUT I still had the GPS lady getting lost every now and then in Brisbane and Adelaide "recalculating" where the road had been realigned etc...

Gee, I hope nobody took me seriously. Funny how us blokes always set our GPS to female voices. Mine is too, guess I'm used to being directed what to do by a ,,,,,,,,,, (sound of spade on head)
