I wake up at 7:45, roll out of bed and check mail/LJ over breakfast.
I then arrive at work and catch up on work email/bulletin board stuff as I get my brain into gear to actually get some work done.
My work tends to be sporadic - compilation and file transfer can take a minute or two each time, plenty of time to check LJ for the latest couple of entries. I post a couple of responses to posts, and get a few back in return.
And then the American's stop replying - the last of them seem to go to bed at around 9:30am here (which seems to work out to 4:30am there, so I'm guessing that these are freelancers and students).
I start getting responses and posts from UK people some time around midday - people who have eitherjust got up, or hit their lunch break. Things don't really kick into gear until evening for most people, things get most prolific around 7pm-10pm (which is also when the most people are on MSN/AIM/ICQ).
I collapse into bed somewhere between 10:30 and 12:30, depending on how much self-control I have (and how tired I am), at which point my American chums seem to go into overdrive, producing a good 30-40 entries between them, to greet me in the morning.
Weekends are largely dead - apparently you mostly have better things to do with your time than post on LJ.

The Longest Day
Jun. 20th, 2003 11:51 amWhy the Longest Day Isn't Hottest is an article explaining why there's a solstice and why it's not the hottest day of the year.
Speaking of which, I plan to watch dawn from on top of Arthur's Seat on Sunday morning if anyone else fancies joining me. It's at 4:26, so if you're going out on Saturday night it's a quick jog to the top after that. I'm not going out dancing, cos I want to be able to make it up there without my legs falling off...
