I mean, do you follow like a strict routine?Amy: Not really. I'm pretty laid-back, I think.Paul: I see.Amy: Workdays, you have to follow a routine, I guess because you have to get ready, you have to get out the door. But on days off, I just do what I feel like pretty much. Pretty relaxed.Paul: Well, that I think is important isn't it, to relax on your days off. But like on a workday, so what do you do first in the morning?Amy: I think probably what everybody does first. I have to go to the bathroom.Paul: Okay. I mean, what do you do after that? Do you make yourself a hot drink?Amy: I wash my face and brush teeth, pretty much, and then cajole my daughter into getting on with her morning routine as well, making sure she's ready.Paul: I see. So you've got to get two people ready.Amy: Yes, I do. How about you?Paul: I just need to worry about myself really. I think that's enough, you know.Amy: Is that a big task?Paul: Yeah. Well, I always have a cup of tea in the morning. First thing, I always put the kettle on and make a hot drink. And I usually try to eat like a good breakfast, not just a piece of toast or something but maybe some eggs, scrambled eggs and maybe some bacon and some toast. Yeah, I try to leave the house with a full stomach.Amy: Yeah, that's good. I try to do that as well. Sometimes, we're pretty　rushed and breakfast is sometimes eaten in the car. But we do get full stomachs eventually.Paul: Right, right.Amy: Do you ever have fruit with your breakfast?Paul: I don't. I know some people eat like a grapefruit. Actually, occasionally, I have a banana.Amy: Hmm.Paul: Yeah, because I just find it's really easy, and convenient, and quick.Amy: I agree.Paul: But stuff like, you know, grapefruits and oranges, you have to peel them. Yeah, I just don't have the time really in the morning.Amy: Too much like hard work?Paul: Yeah. But if I stay in like if I'm on a holiday in a hotel and they have like a nice breakfast, I always try to eat fruit. So I always try to eat a bit of everything actually.Amy: When it's there in front of you, ready.Paul: When it's made for you, yeah.Amy: I do that, too, definitely.Paul: Yeah.
