    Wondering how folk spend Sundays these days? Here, quiet as mostly! Will drop in at the cathedral here online.. cooked yesterday as the range was good and hot so an easy meal ( winter mash with cheese atop and barley pudding, oh and there is ham flavoured pea and potato soup).. Listening to the wild wild wind blowing the wet wet rain around and snug here... reading, knitting, beading, watching youtube... Wonderfully quiet.. Have a lovely Sunday wherever it takes you..

    Sure every day in South Kerry is a good day!

    Recovery today, travelled north and did a long run around Fenit, Churchill, Ardfert and Tralee yesterday. Sore now.

    Went back to the parents house this weekend so it will be a case of a lovely walk on the beach followed by the biggest meal I've eaten in weeks and then a drive back to my house. Then I'll have to do a bit of house work, light the fire, maybe get a takeaway and then start sorting myself out for the w word tomorrow.

    All in all an easy one but I don't know when the Sunday fear will kick in! :pac:

    Lie in, church (not Mass), long run then an afternoon of rest by reading or watching a movie. Sometimes volunteer in the evening on a Soup Run.

    I love my Sundays!

    In work, first day of the week. Maybe some yoga tonight in the gym. my measly 5km runs are leaving me in agony.

    And it rained throughout the 3 hours of our run yesterday. Training for Tralee marathon, so did 35km of the route.

    I like North Kerry, I mean it's part of this amazing county. But I still feel more comfortable once I get back to within sight of the Reeks. I could live happily thinking I might never leave South Kerry again, I'd even holiday here. Or West Cork, Beara and Sheeps Head stunning too.

    Today is a typical Sunday. Mass shortly followed by a quick meeting of a ministry team I'm on. Then home for coffee and goodies with a few friends - our turn to host this week. Then a read of the papers, a 5km walk, and put the dinner on. After that we may watch some TV. What the night holds is anybody's guess.

    Typical Sunday here for me too, hashing in the morning,, hopefully watch a bit of sport in the afternoon if I'm not too busy, hashing in the night time.

    Normally I go cycling with the club, but have had a manky chest infection since Saturday. So it's a duvet day for me today!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 123 ✭✭Hannibelle Smeeeth


    My husband takes the kids to his folks. So I usually have a peaceful Sunday and have a roast done by the time they come back. Not exciting stuff but it's nice. I usually go for a run on a Sunday, but feeling a bit blue today so staying put :D

    I spend it working same as any other day.

    I f*cking hate Sundays. Most boring day of the week for me. I'll do what I do most hungover Sundays, browse the internets, maybe go down to the local shopping centre and get a starbucks. Then back for more internets.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    Brew some quality coffee in my syphon, nice breakfast (smoked salmon with mustard and dill), play with my son (we've been crashing cars all morning)

    Rest of the day:
    watch some football this afternoon, a good stew for dinner, relax in front of the TV (continue watching Judd Apatows Love, recommended) with either a Lagavulin or Hibiki.

    Ah I know that feeling.. when I have been to Tralee or further I long to see " my mountains" and start singing.. And yes re Beara etc" We may well have passed each other! I will at the end of this year be seeking a permanent retreat and Goleen is high on my list. But then so is Connemara And now Clare! If I leave here it will be to make a totally new start ..

    Going to have scrambled eggs, brown bread and tea in a few minutes. Then I'll walk to Poolbeg lighthouse and back while listening to a podcast. I'll buy the Sindo on the way back. I've a chicken bought for roasting later. All looks really good apart from a small mountain of ironing I've been avoiding for the last few days. I hate ironing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,802 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    I'm off to work shortly.

    Whores will have their trinkets.

    Well as my Mrs has been away for the weekend abroad living it up and I've been Daddy Day Care for my 8 year old, I expect:

    Here's a nice present of aftershave.
    Why don't you hit the gym for an hour and then come back and we'll take you somewhere nice for lunch.
    Why don't you go to the local for a pint?

    What I'll get:

    Make me something to eat, I'm so tired and hungover. I'm off to bed now....says wife.

    'Sunday Bloody Sunday'. What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it? You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think "Sunday, bloody Sunday!".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,211 ✭✭✭spakman


    Have flu, don't think I'll be getting out of bed :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,821 ✭✭✭fussyonion


    I never liked Sundays, even as a kid.
    It's the most boring day of the week for some reason.
    We normally get up around 9 or 10, have a few sausages or a bacon sandwich with tea/coffee, watch Sunday Brunch or flick through the paper. (Sunday World)

    Then if we're having a roast, I'll put that on around 3pm so we're eating around 5:30 or 6pm.

    In the evening, we might have some wine and watch a film but telly is rubbish on Sundays so we'll have to put a DVD on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,634 ✭✭✭✭Graces7


    Oh Goleen is lovely. Crookhaven is one of my favourite places on earth.

    Mizen Head.. I keep asking the man in charge if I can spend a weekend at the end of the head and he does not know whether I am meaning it or not.... Need out tomorrow and may just head for Dingle... Not been out for two weeks now..Dingle appeals..... air and wind...sea and ancient holy places...


  • Posts: 24,713 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Usual sunday routine is sleep until 11 or 12. Up and have a fry or go for a breakfast roll and the paper (if I'm hungover usually the breakfast roll option) then watch sport for the day on the couch. Mass in the evening then and do a food shop for the week. Varies if I'm up home as I'd travel back sunday evening but rest of the day would be similar enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,856 ✭✭✭irishguitarlad


    I watched an episode of sherlock, read some edgar allan poe and now off to meet this girl ive been seeing, its sunny outside and life is good in sunny Seville:-)

    The Sindo eh?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,062 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    There is always something just a bit different about Sundays.

    Usual routine is scrambled or poached eggs homemade brown soda bread and real butter, lashings of tea. OH goes to Mass, I don't, so potter around while he's praying for me!

    Then we usually go for a long walk, maybe up and down Chesterfield Avenue in the Pheeno, or the pier in DL or something like that. Then come home and make something to eat with a bottle of nice red. In for the day after that. Bliss.

    BUT...OH has the fekkin shingles and is in bits really is a dreadful virus. So I am doing Florence Nightingale today, and no walking. But sure the weather is shyte anyway so I'm glad of that.

    Enjoy your Sundays everyone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,313 ✭✭✭✭Sam Kade


    Sunday the most boring day of the week, really? Anyone that is bored have only themselves to blame, stop trying to blame something or someone for your boredom ;)

    My Sundays are always different. I like not knowing how the days are going to turn out. I had a walk around the shops and a coffee. Home now to watch my beloved Inspector Wallander :)

    I was up & out early as i had a few lads out working. We were finished by 11 so i brought them for a breakfast in a cafe local to the job (Salford). Then i came home and watched a film about Michael Collins & the anglo irish treaty. Had a good snooze on the couch and now im getting back up to drop down and check the work we did this am as it was pretty wet.

    Next weekend i am back home to vote so i will be doing a few bits around the place.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,634 ✭✭✭✭Graces7


    Me too :)

    So sorry you went through that.. used to think everyone else was having a wonderful time with family, while I was on the outside looking in.. so different after the misdiagnosis was cleared up and I knew truth. Now i am just glad no nasty letters etc will arrive! Hope all is better for you too..

    Oh thank you. It took a bit of work but hopefully those days are behind me now. And you :)

    Everyone has a story. Even those who appear to have it all figured out.
