Re: Sundays
In the winter if it's raining and cold I cook a lush roast lunch , open a bottle of merlot, a glass while I'm cooking, a glass while it's in oven, a glass with the meal. T v on, or watch something I've recorded then fall asleep.Spring and summer I go into town , a 60 70 80s band plays outdoors in town, I go by myself or with friends , we dance to the great music , drink too much wine , then bus home !

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
Oh dear Marion, that is such a shame.
Haven't you any hobbies, or local clubs you could join to be with like-minded people and make new friends?
I am on my own too, (except for my pooches), but I am rarely lonely because I always seem to be busy, in fact, I rarely catch up with my jobs.
I also go to exercise classes at least twice a week where I have made friends, I go to Pensioners meetings, sometimes meet a friend for lunch at the garden centre, phone friends for a natter, always doing my gardening, got piles of reading to catch up on but never do, and that's without the usual household chores, bathing a clipping my dogs, and taking them out somewhere nice.
I admit its not so much fun in the winter, I don't like winter at all now, but even then I plan Christmassy things, usually go to a couple of little parties run by the clubs I belong to, or occasionally go to an amateur panto.
.
It's January onwards that seems to drag, when the cold weather is at its worst and the nights are long and dark. Then I have to rely mostly on telly, radio, my reading, though I do still go to my exercise classes.
But soon all my new seed catalogues start arriving and I'm happy again, planning what I'm going to grow for the spring.
I guess I'm quite a happy personality most of the time, so I'm lucky. If I get the hump, it doesn't usually last long.
Cheer up Marion, if we can't enjoy ourselves in the beautiful summer, it'll be a darn sight harder when winter comes.

Re: Sundays
Up early to walk the dogs, then church, lunch and after that I toddle off to sainsburys to get the weekly veg.Afternoons spent colouring in with Grace or we do some baking or a craft project. Finish off with proper tea time and a relaxing evening in front of the box (working evenings that seems height of decadence
).

Re: Sundays
Used to hate Sundays as a child and later a teen but times change and now I love my Sundays, a lie in and a slow breakfast and working in the garden, listening and watching the birds and the comings and goings on the cul de sac where I live.You're right Mups, Sunday sounds are very different.
