My Sunday afternoons in England

Sunday is often called "The day of rest", stemming from the Bible, it is a day when most people do not have to go to work.  Some Christians still observe it as a rest day, but not all. It doesn't make anyone any less religious nor does it open them up for condemnation, because they don't rest, it's just the way things have evolved. It is a family day usually, but not always.

My Sundays are different every week. I like the times when I have somewhere to vist, or when someone is visiting me; I also like the times when I am at home with nothing planned. Generally, the days I have nothing planned are the days when I achieve the most, by completing work around the house, preparing food for the following week (and freezing it) or just catching up with projects I haven't had time to do. 

Sometimes I dedicate Sunday as a hobby or activity day; I have many hobbies and enjoy many activities. I like to read, I like to draw, I love to sing and I enjoy keeping fit. I have many more hobbies too.

Today though, after spending far too long in the Chat Room on EC, helping people to improve their English conversation, I am going to put on some good music and dance! This way I will be doing three of my activities: singing, dancing and keeping fit.

My neighbours cannot see where I dance in my house, I live alone so there is nobody else to watch (and laugh), so off I go.

I will be listening and dancing to some Tamla Motown music. It is a genre of music from the 60s - which is still popular today. It has a good beat, it has a good sound and the lyrics have meaning.

Here are some of the songs from that genre that I enjoy, and will be dancing to.

  1. Heatwave
  2. It hurts to be in love
  3. Pucker up buttercup
  4. I heard it through the grapevine 

Do you have any hobbies or activities that you enjoy?

What do you do on Sunday (or other day of rest)?

  • Hi.. I like the way you spending your time for your hobby. It's seem like i want to create one for me too. On Sunday I just stay at home and doing some cleaning, browsing internet, read some English word book,go jogging, going to fresh mart to buy some vegetable.
