align="center">DAILY ROUTINE
Thomas
My daily routine has never really fitted into a regular pattern. I’ve never been the sort of person who has a job which starts at 9 o’clock every morning and finishes at 5 o’clock every evening, come home, watch television, eat and then fall asleep, like my father and other members of my family. I like to find time in the day for things which are really important to me. The first of these is playing music, practising my violin or my flute or playing together with my girlfriend, learning new tunes to play in concerts or for a new group, or just playing for its sake. I like to spend at least an hour every day with my violin. Learning a new instrument from the beginning, especially one so different to those that I’m used to, is very demanding. I try to find work which I can do when I want to, but some things have to be done at a certain time and so I always give these priority in my timetable.
I love going to the cinema, to concerts and also to the swimming pool and thermal baths, but I don’t have special times for doing these things, I just do them when I can make time for them, or when I feel like it, or when a friend calls me and says “Hey, do you want to come out to the cinema?”, or something like this. Household chores generally get done when needed. We try to do the washing-up after we’ve eaten, and we generally wash the clothes when the number of clean ones we have left to wear starts getting low, although my girlfriend often takes to wash hers home to her parents.
Maria has more of a weekly routine than me, because of her school. She has to get up very early on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, to go to lessons. She has two piano lessons every week, on Monday and Thursday afternoons. She plays the viola da gamba, which is a renaissance and baroque predecessor of the cello, and she has a lesson for this once a week. She also plays many concerts with her ensemble, which plays medieval and renaissance music. She also has many friends and family commitments. She does an admirable job of managing her time and fitting all of these things into her week. She also likes to go to a fitness centre with her sister, and tries to do this every week, and we like to swim together, but for some reason we can’t often make enough time for it.
