Re: Sundays
I don't like Sundays. I think if you are by yourself it can be a lonely day,especially if you are like me, I like to let my daughter enjoy a day with just her husband and children. I see them all during the week so I like to give them a day to themselves. lol except of course when my daughter days "you ARE coming for dinner" lol28-06-2015, 02:43 PM

Re: Sundays
Just another day here. Before I was widowed yes we tried to do something,go fishing ,go garden shopping,a roast for supper.I used to hate Sundays at home; Get out of bed and Sunday school. Mother was not really a very good cook-the git would announce what a wonderful piece of beef(he must have enjoyed a bit of leather) Then ----you cannot go up to play football until everyone has gone into Chapel. It`s not like they were into the Chapel-just pretending to do the` right thing` and sod the son. But one good thing-the git took a bath on a Sunday-so his BO and feet were not too stinky until Monday.

Re: Sundays
I used to hate Sundays as a kid too. No shops open, nothing to do, parents having a "lie-in" followed by house cleaning, then dad off to the pub with granddad while mum and gran cooked dinner, then Liberace on TV in the afternoon. The only good thing was Jet Morgan on the radio at tea time.It had improved by the time I was a teenager - we all went down to the Carlton Ballroom to hear the latest records and try to pluck up courage to ask a girl for a dance. We rarely did it though - usually just stood around like wallflowers hoping we looked cool.

Re: Sundays
Just another day for me too, but I like to spend the mid hours over at the allotment when the shop opens (11-2) for lots of chat. I don't buy a paper on Sundays so it's possible I don't go any further than the end of my road. Unless I decide to have a stroll down to the park.Last week I didn't do a roast, having had one a day or so before, after my starvation diet.
Sitting here now with a second (small) glass of bitter shandy with lime cordial. I buy packs of soft drink cans from Morrisons as they're so reasonable. The No Added Sugar (NAS) shandy, cream soda, dandelion and burdock, diet coke. Also occasionally an 8 pack of diet cherry cola from Sainsburys. Yum.
Oh, back to Sundays. Different tv schedule too.

Re: Sundays
Well what a grumpy old lot.
As I said at the beginning, I love my Sundays, especially in the summer.
Everything is more relaxed. Even the outside sounds are different here. There is no rush of traffic of people hurrying to work, and no car doors slamming or kids screaming at each other, as the Mums drop their kids off at school.
I reckon even the birds sing louder - unless it's just that I can hear them better on a Sunday!
It is the only day I spoil myself with a cooked breakfast and the Sunday paper, and if I want a lay in, I'll have one.
My favourite dinner is a Sunday roast, it doesn't taste the same on a Wednesday
If I go out anywhere, I notice people are more relaxed and smiley, probably with not having to rush about to a timetable.
I think there are loads of differences if you only notice.
What's more, if I don't seem to have achieved very much by bedtime - I don't care, because its Sunday.
