Daily Life

M y day begins at seven, when my wife Judy

brings me a cup of tea in bed.

What a luxury! I sit there and think about

everything I have to do in the coming day.

Our two children get up and get ready for school.

I hear the bathroom door slamming and the sound

of the shower. I keep out of the way. They have

to go out, but I work at home, so they always

have to use the bathroom first.

I go downstairs in my pyjamas, and we all have

breakfast together in the kitchen at about eight.

We have juice, coffee, toast, sometimes even

bacon and eggs. We all like a big breakfast.

Judy takes the children to school and goes to the

university, where she teaches history of art.

The house seems very empty and quiet without

them. I always start work at nine o’clock exactly.

Writing is such a solitary job, you must have a

regular routine! First of all, I usually look at what

I typed the day before. I sometimes change it all.

I don’t write quickly or easily.

I think about every word, and rewrite each

sentence at least four times. At 11 I stop

for coffee and take the dog out for a walk.

We live in a village, and there is lovely

countryside to walk in, especially in spring

or autumn. Then I write for another two

or three hours. I never have lunch. I need to

get on with my work. I try to write

about a thousand words a day. At half

past three I collect the children from

school and have a snack with them.

I love chatting to them about their

day! Then they do their

homework and watch TV. I often

sit and watch with them for a

bit, until Judy comes home and

makes the dinner. She’s the

cook in our house!

I usually put the children to

bed and read them a story.

Most days we’re all in bed and

asleep by eleven but on Fridays

we often go to bed later. My last

thought is usually, ‘I must write

more tomorrow!’

Reading5 Read this magazine article about the working day

of a writer called Brian Tanner. As you read it, choosethe two words which best describe his day.

6 Read the article again and give short answers tothese questions.

7 Correct these statements about Brian and his family.

generally interested in getting to

very practical benefits – and it

looks good on my CV, too!

I've got two young kids, and Ijust love having a record of howthey change. They grow up sofast! I love catching themwhen they don't know I'm doingit. And I've got a lot ofrelatives in other parts of theworld, like Australia and Canada,and I can send them the latestpictures on the computer.

I enjoy going round second-hand

shops or sales. You never know what

you’ll find. Often, it’s something

that’s been in someone’s attic for a

while. I’m not interested in the value,

although you can find some rare and

valuable old recordings. I just love

listening to them.

Y ou may find it strange that my desk has got agarden gnome on it. My son gave it to me. I’ve got

three sons – 13-year-old twins and an eight year old –and almost all the objects that there are on my shelvesare connected with them: they are of no great financialvalue but they remind me in some way of my boys.The photographs are also mainly of my kids. Andabove the desk there are some other pictures. I thinkevery writer needs pictures in their room forinspiration.There are thousands of CDs in my room because Ialways listen to music when I’m writing. I’ve done itsince I was a teenager, when I first started writing inmy bedroom in Bromley. Silence makes me feel ratheruncomfortable, nervous.The wallpaper was in the house when I got here, I’vekept it, and indeed fought to keep it, because it is likebeing in an Indian restaurant, and I always wanted tospend all of my life in an Indian restaurant.At the bottom of the wall there’s a picture of a girlsitting down. This is a drawing of my mother, done bya friend of hers in 1943. Next to that, on the right,there’s a portrait of my father. My mother drew it in1954, the year I was born. Above that there’s my Oscarnomination for My Beautiful Laundrette.I don’t read very much. I don’t have time, but Icertainly accumulate books and the room has got pilesof them everywhere. I hate throwing away books.

I usually work in the morning, I try to start aroundseven and work until around midday and then I doother things. I’ve got several typewriters but you can’tget the ribbons these days. Computers are wonderfulfor writers, but they do encourage books that are toolong. I write by hand first and then type it up. Writingwith a fountain pen is a real pleasure and manywriters feel very strongly about their pens – you’d besurprised at how some of the toughest guys can’t waitto tell you about their new Mont Blanc.
