I get up between 9am and 10am. Prior to selling the hotel I never had a weekend to myself as weekends are obviously the busiest times in the hotel business. I’ll have a shower and brush my teeth and then I’ll have some breakfast. I live in a top floor apartment so if it’s a nice morning I’ll have my breakfast on the terrace where I have about 20 plant pots. I’ll have yoghurt, a banana, McCambridge’s brown bread, tea and a mandarin orange.
