Sunday, Day of Rest

It doesn’t matter what religion you follow, what your culture is or even your geographical location, I think most of the world treats Sunday as the ‘day of rest’. Most businesses are closed, shops have reduced opening hours and so on. In England, Sunday is also very widely seen as the day when all the family sit down around the table and have a big roast dinner with all the trimmings.

For me, Sundays are my lazy day. I have no pressure to get up early, no work, no urgent chores that need seeing to. I often laze around half-dressed until well past midday, perhaps playing on my DS or eating crumpets. In the early afternoon, I sort out the weekly stuff for the q*bee (bees of the week and so on) and then it’s back to lounging. Late afternoon Karl and I head out to see my Mum and then early evening we’re back to.. well, you can probably guess: more lounging. I think it’s probably one of my favourite days of the week.

What do you do on a Sunday? Do you think that your day is influenced by the idea that it’s a ‘day of rest’ or do you do something of religious/cultural significance? Now’s a good time to educate me on what goes on outside of my own front room!
