Winston
Churchill
Despite all the activity Churchill’s daily routine
changed little during these years. He awoke about 7:30 a.m. and remained in bed
for a substantial breakfast and reading of mail and all the national
newspapers. For the next couple of hours, still in bed, he worked, dictating to
his secretaries.
At 11:00 a.m., he arose, bathed, and perhaps took a
walk around the garden, and took a weak whisky and soda to his study.
At 1:00 p.m. he joined guests and family for a
three-course lunch. Clementine drank claret, Winston champagne, preferable Pol
Roger served at a spesific temperature, port brandy and cigars. When lunch
ended, about 3:30 p.m. he returned to his study to work on his estate, or
played cards or backgammon with Clementine.
At 5:00 p.m., after another weak whisky and soda, he
went to be for an hour and a half. He said this siesta, a habit gained in Cuba,
allowed him to work 1 ½ days in every 24 hours. At 6:30 p.m. he awoke, bathed
again, and dressed for dinner at 8:00 p.m.
Dinner was the focal-point and higlight of Churchill’s
day. Table talk, dominated by Churchill, was as important as the meal. Sometimes,
depending on the company, drinks and cigars extended the event well past
midnight. The guests retired, Churchill returned to his study for another hour
or so of work.
