What Were Your Sundays Like as a Kid?

 I remember Sundays as a kid.

Calm. Family coming round. Another day to carry on playing with toys.

Then School, OK at first, became a drudge and I knew that Monday followed Sunday.

Nothing was open. No shops. Basically church was open. 

Family still came round. Sunny days with nephews and nieces. 

But Sunday wasn't Saturday.

The day drew steadily towards School on Monday.

The evening's TV were the weekend's epitaph.

Songs of Praise or Highway. 

There was no going back.

What were your Sundays like readers?

DID YOU LIE-IN AS A KID AT THE WEEKENDS?

There's something about lie-ins that are simply indescribably wonderful. Sundays is the perfect day for a lie-in. Its warm, snug and sleepy. What's not to like. And since Sunday is the traditional day for doing nothing it makes perfect sense! Do you enjoy a lie-in or are you up and about early on Sundays?

Can't recall though if I had a lie-in as a kid. Saturday had its morning TV like Danger Island, Shazan and the Banana Splits show so I can't see me dawdling in my pit too long. Then again going to school for five days was quite knackering so I will have needed my kip. Sundays I had to go to church. Sacred Heart for the morning mass. My Mum took me. Took us all. I think it was 11 am. I yawned my head off so maybe I didn't get much of a lie-in after all. Getting ready will have taken ages! And besides I don't think there was anything to watch on TV at all on Sundays in the UK in the Sixties.

In my adult stage I require coffee after a lie-in. Lots of freshly brewed coffee. Eggs, bacon and buttered toast go really well with it too! Do you drink coffee and enjoy a hot breakfast at the weekends readers? Or are you healthy and go for muesli and yoghurt and maybe a kale smoothie?

What do you remember about weekend mornings as a kid readers?

To get into the spirit of an old style Sixties and Seventies Weekend morning here's a couple of YT clips to start Sunday properly! Enjoy!

Its chucking it down here.

Positively pluvial.

Just waiting for Moonbase Grandson to arrive. 

He's driving over in Starman's Tesla!

There's tons of plastic and wooden toys waiting for him to explore here at Moonbase.

Its a weekend of childminding for me and the Missus.

Whats happening at your end?

Thank God Its Friday!

Well, its Friday at last! 

What are you doing this weekend? 

My sole aim at the mo is to have a lie in tomorrow morning!
