Oh This! A thousand times this.
My morning routine has always been:
Get up nice and early. After the three Ss, loaf around kitchen, checking e-mails, yacf, listen to the Toady program on R4, gaze glumly into the top of a mug of coffee, that sort of thing. It's my private time. It's for me.
Now bloody lodger is also up, wants chats, wants cheerfulness. I don't do talking in the morning. I just don't.
