A day in the life of James Blunt

James Blunt is an ex-soldier who is now a singer. He lives alone in Ibiza, Spain.

I live in a beauüful old house. about 150 years old 6 and on a hill with a lot of trees. From my window I have a fantastic view of the sea.

I usually get up at about 9.30, and I have a shower. I always wear jeans and a T-shirt. Clothes don't really interest me. I have two pairs of jeans, one jacket, and six T-shirts. I never have breakfast — I'm not hungry in the morning. I make a fire and clean the house. Then I play the piano, or I sit on the sofa and play the guitar. I live near a small village. For lunch I go and buy bread and a tin of tuna, or maybe ham or cheese. I never cook. After lunch I sometimes work in the garden. I don't have a TV — I only have a music system and my music collection. I like singersongwriters from the 1970s, like Lou Reed and Leonard Cohen.

In the evening I usually go out with friends. We have dinner at one of the old Spanish bars, and then we sometimes go to a club. Before I go to bed I lock the doors. When I'm in bed I look out of the 9 window at the night sky and think how wonderful life is.
