Sundays...

It's Sunday here in Australia, and it's a lovely day. Not too hot not too cold, which for Brisbane is a friggin miracle.

BUT.... yes there's always one. It's 10am, the house is clean, the grocery shopping is done, and I'm bored already. How do you spend your Sundays?

:wah::wah: Sounds like fun. I wonder if there are any fountains in Brisbane.

My Sundays vary a lot. Usually, if the weather is good, there's a motorcycle ride in the plans. If I'm working that night, we get up earlier, just to have more time on the bikes. We stop by friends and brother's houses to see if anyone wants to ride and sometimes get a good group going along. Sometimes it's just power cleaing the house and spending time catching up on bills and other domestic activities.

We also love a game of chess, or Yahtzee, or rent movies. Sometimes we do jigsaw puzzles. Sometimes he plays his Playstation, and I hang out here with all of you.

Every day of my life seems to vary including Sundays. Some Sundays I work, and when I'm off, it's usually spent catching up on housework, or spending the day with our grandson.

Since I don't work, Sundays are like any other day of the week for me. I sleep during the day, get up in the late afternoon/early evening to check the mail and go out somewhere for something to eat. To the extent possible, I socialize. Then it's back to my little apartment to either read, get on the Internet, or contemplate my navel all night long. I usually get sleepy enough to go to bed around dawn so, at that point, the cycle repeats itself. :rolleyes:

I think we'll spend this Sunday treading water. It's raining for the first time in weeks, and I think God's trying to catch up.

There must be fountains in Brisbane, Amie! Pinky - when I stayed in Capel St Mary I used to head for Felixstowe and walk along the boardwalk on Sundays. (Took the wrong road once and ended up in Lowestoft A14???) Accountable's got rain too. I've always had a weird idea that on Sundays one should walk by water... maybe not IN water, or ON water, though hey.. if you can do it!!!! On that subject, the Aussie socceroos are playing Brazil in the wee hours ... a miracle may be necessary.

Oh, I wouldn't like them coming in without notice!

I used to live in a dowstair apartment, always stomp, stomp, stomp from upstairs.

Sunday-coming home in between church to check on hubby-he's alseep! Ghads! He kept me awake most of the night, then the kitty wanted up, then the bunnies.........

Sundays are calming. Whatever happens happens. A walk through an art festival, an afternoon nap, grilling, light the cats tail on fire, its all good.

It IS hard to sleep during the day when you live in an apartment building, particularly one located in an urban downtown area. I am constantly being woken up by noises either from within, or outside of the building. If I'm not being disturbed by the sound of the carpeting in the hallway being vacuumed, than it's the sound of the building's maintenance crew readying some other apartment in the building to be occupied. The sound I hear most often is that of hammering, which carries throughout the entire building, regardless of where it's coming from. And then you've got the neverending cacophony outside. Every two or three minutes there's a siren of one kind or another screaming down the street. One of the most annoying disturbances happens in the middle of the night, when the trash trucks come three or four times to haul away the garbage from the hotel next door. My window, (the only one I've got,) is on the side of the building which overlooks a parking lot. That parking lot is also the location of the huge metal dumpsters into which the hotel compacts all its trash. You would think someone in a position of power in the city government would have some concern for those of us who LIVE on the periphery of this parking lot, who are disturbed again and again by the racket these trash trucks make in the middle of the night. But, NO! Nobody in local government could give less of a damn.
