A Conversation for Great Ways to Spend a Sunday
Nothing!

That's my favourite way to spend a Sunday - doing nothing!
Well, you usually end up doing something, like eating, drinking, logging on to h2g2 - but try to avoid making plans, and leave your watch on the bedside table!
Sleep late if you want to, get up early if you want to
Have a big Sunday breakfast and allow it to take time
Go back to bed if you feel like it
Slow down... relax... allow yourself to be lazy...
On Fridays at w*rk we sometimes discuss weekend plans - and surprisingly often many of my colleagues have a long list of 'things to do', complete with time table
I think people forget to allow time for themselves...
- time to catch their breath
- time to catch up with sleep
- time to contemplate
- time to relax
- time to think things over
- time to maybe empty your mind and let go of all those things you worry about,
Some of my friends have forgotten how to do nothing - they can't sit still for more than a few minutes before they have to get up and *do* something!
No wonder that people are suffering from stress, feeling burnt out - the have forgotten how to relax!
*crawls back into bed with a bad cold, staying home from w*rk today and tomorrow, and having no plans what-so-ever*
Nothing!

I totaly agree as well. Most sundays i just sleep in, then do nothing for the res of the day. I sometimes feel I should be 'doing' something - and I've loads of stuff I could be doing, but then i just think hey, its Sunday and i don't care! 
Nothing!

May I suggest that you try some Stoep-sitting? (see A814899) I think you'll find it to your liking - especially on Sundays?

To me, Sundays have never been the same since the death of Walter Gabriel.
Apologies to US H2G2ers who won't have a clue what I'm on about.

Hey! How about us who are neither British nor American?
Nothing!

However, there's always ISIHAC on at midday to make up for it. It keeps Mrs Trellis happy, anyway.

Titiana, I didn't know only the British and Americans had Sundays? 
Is it a dreadful Imperialist-Capitalist invention?
I think not - someone would have taken out a world patent on it!

WR - I was referring to William's apology to US researchers - I don't have a clue either to who Walter Gabriel was!

He was a character in 'The Archers', an everyday story of simple country folk who while not killing foxes for pleasure, get huge subsidies from the British taxpayer to produce foodstuffs that no-one wants in excess.

Titiana, I haven't a clue either! He wasn't African, or I would have heard of him! 
I got the wrong end of the stick
Sundae, anyone?
