A Day in the Life
by Zoe
1. James wakes up at 8am and makes coffee from a machine that sounds like a pneumatic drill
2. I wake up shortly thereafter
3. We sit at the table and mess around on our laptops checking Twitter/Facebook then we get down to some “work” in our dressing gowns
4. Sometimes we break for shower at around 11am… sometimes not
5. At lunchtime we get clothed and either eat pitiful sandwiches or we venture out to a nearby hipster café for human contact
6. Back in the flat we pretend to “work” some more before boredom sets in and social networking takes over
7. Around 6pm it’s tea time, but it seems that without Tesco Online we can no longer function as normal human beings and have to resort to pasta and pesto every night, as it’s the only thing in our cupboards
8. For our evening’s entertainment we have hopefully downloaded something to watch, or like tonight, we will force ourselves to go out in the freezing cold to some hip Berlin event to be able to write a blog post about it
9. Get to bed around midnight, making a pact to work harder tomorrow

Haha. Love that.
We aren’t very good at getting up early for freelance work, but trained ourselves to dress reasonably before turning on computers as well as cook a warm meal to stay sane…
We need to start doing some of that “best practice” stuff – it’s a hard life!
Livin’ the high life – that itself is worth a marketing campaign!
Love the idea of such a relaxed lifestyle, but how on earth does that pay the rent??
lol there is ACTUAL work going on somewhere in that routine don’t worry;) It just never feels like it when you’re doing it from the comfort of your own home!
Sounds like my schedule (especially the optional shower), but sadly I do it solo. Seems more fun with a partner in crime
Haha. This was fun. Sadly I can never talk to either of you again having seen those slippers, but yes, it was fun.
would it matter if I said my mam posted us those slippers so we felt a certain obligation?? Didn’t think so…I could have burned them I guess.
[...] breather. While we are relieved (we have our little lives back!) we’re a bit worried that, as shut-ins, we won’t practice and will forget what little Deutsch we managed to learn. That’s why [...]

To be honest, lunch time is pretty impressive. Sometimes I’m not showered and dressed until dinner…
