Routine??

I wonder how many people live their lives to a daily routine. I suspect quite a lot.. I know when i was teaching, certainly my term time days were very much a matter of routine. We would wake up at the same time, have breakfast at the same time and leave the house at eight o'clock each morning. If we didn't do that our day wouldn't work. We used to see the same people each morning on the way to work, and know roughly where they would be. There was one girl we saw most mornings on her way to school. in a maroon blazer, and we used to call her "fluffy hair" because she had red hair in fluffy curls. Since it is 11 years or so since I left school, she will be well grown up by now, probably been to university and have her own routine by now. I wonder.
Does having a routine make us boring..i don't think so, it is a case of getting through the day with less stress.
Since we retired we don't have so much of a routine, because we don't need to, and it is nice to live each day without having to be in a certain place at a certain time. We do what we want to really, if we feel like going ut we do, if we don't, we stay in. Today VT went of to the Barbers for a badly needed hair cut. He has very thich bushy hair, and it is better kept short, and it seemed to grow really quickly over the last couple of weeks. he went to his usual barbers in Formby, but when he came back he said he didn't go there because it had gone !all poncey" and he definitely doesn't do "poncey". So he tried another one he knew of, but that was full of little kids getting cut before they go back to school, so he didn't go there either. He ended up at one we know of which has not long been rebuilt after a horrendoius car crash, where an elderly woman in an automatic car had gone through their front window and embedded her car in the shop. It has been redone, and looks smart, but not poncey, and he said it was empty. Anyway he has had a really good hair cut, and he is all smart again now, my lovely husband.
I stopped in and messed about on the net this morning. The two cats have their own routine, but funnily enough, they do the same things most days. At the moment they are both fast asleep having had their afternoon treat of chopped chicken!
Tonight we are having:
No idea at all really. One of those days when there is no inspiration, but might do a pasta. Just simple.
A bit of garlic bread
Some green vegetables to go with.
