Without getting into the religious implications because I know a number of you hold strong views on that subject and I want to stay away from that. What do you all like to do on a Sunday?
For me its a day to catch up on jobs, clean the van occasionally or go out murder a few clay pigeons. We try to make it a family day but as the boys are older now and more independant they don't want to do much with us any more.
We have just had an extension built so I will probably end the day with emulsion in my hair.

My Sundays vary a lot. Sometimes I work them and maybe take time off in the week (some commercial jobs can only be done at weekends). Other times I may go and watch banger racing. Perhaps a day out to somewhere like Kew Gardens or the seaside. Occasionally I will just chill out to recuperate if I've been overdoing it and veg out in front of the TV. Today I will be cleaning and tidying my flat and playing catch up with some accounts work.

Because my my wife is a shiner as well , we both end up cooking , cleaning , shopping, ironing etc all weekend. After all that if theres any time left, I start mending my van equipment etc.
Second Sunday of the month we go to the sports car club where we go off in convoy to find some posh country hotel for Sunday dinner.

Too true. We had 2 years of grunts for money/food/lifts etc. It's only now at 16 we have any interaction with her...bless ;D
Sundays in the Knight household tends to follow a set pattern:
Wake up hung-over....mooch around drinking coffee and reading the paper....feel a bit more human by 12ish...go shopping...bit of housework...perhaps a mid-afternoon couple of cans...get dinner going...eat around 6ish....TV...bed.
That's enough excitement for me these days ;D

I tend not to drink on a sat night but always end up with a headache on sun morning - I think it is exhaustion catching up with me from the week before.
drinking like a true bell-end on a fri night prob doesn't help either.

my day consided of nursing head head from Cambridge uni summer ball last night, whilst doing this tiling the kitchen and thinking how am I going to get the burn from the iron I dropped on the new carpet "hence why I said to the wife I hate ironing", rest of the day is finish off tiling, sort out van peel potato's for roast, tile above the d/s wc basin have a bath, sort work out for tomorrow, eat dinner then start web design for a few hours, get nagged a little I guess then bed.
My ideal sunday would be taking my boys out for the day, little fishing little bike riding for them and then put my feet up watch a movie with my wife then early to bed ;)
Maybe one day ::) just not today

Lise and I spent the day walking with other members of the RSPB round Stodmarsh near Canterbury - largest wetland reedbed in the Southeast.
Saw 63 different species of birds, including Marsh Harrier, Hobby, Buzzard, Kestrel and Peregrine in the Raptor (birds of prey) family and Kingfisher, Yellow wagtail, Cuckoo, Sedge Warbler etc etc in the 'also rans'.
Exciting, isn't it?
Yeah, but it's about as much as I can handle these days ::) ;D

3pm went out on my Suzuki GS850 m/bike (30 yrs old) across the severn bridge to Tintern and Trelleck and enjoyed the winding lanes and glorious scenery that Tosh is missing by being on holiday!
5pm called back in mum's and gave her her medication cuz me bro (who usually does Sunday evenings with her) is in London.
6pm home (filled my van tank ready for tomorrow) for roast, half a bottle of red wine - lovely!
