Sunday, Bl@@dy Sunday.
« on: October 14, 2012, 03:45:26 PM »
Just decided that Sundays are pointless. They are to the week, what a wasp is to nature...a total waste of time.

Now, if I had a lovely snowscene outside, like some lucky person does (and we all know who that is, Diane), then I would go outside and build a snowman or snowwoman, depending on how PC I felt. But no, I'm in Scotland and on Sundays here it rains...always. It's compulsory. If you look outside and it's not raining, it's a weekday. Can't wash the car because it's raining. Can't go out on the motorbike because it's raining (and my CBT has run out, but that's another matter). Can't cut the grass, can't wash the windows, blah blah blah.

So here I am, posting a post, not that I mind that of course, and feeling another day passing me by. In fact, I'm sure that if I got all these pointless, rainy Sundays back, I would only be age 41ish.

I may be reduced to putting the TV on. Do they still show old B movies? Is it ok to watch Songs Of Praise? I feel the need of guidance. Help.

Crap. Songs Of Praise clashes with The Beechgrove Garden. Life, why do you mock me so.

Just about all that snow is gone, it is raining now. (But my daughter did build a snowman)

If you recall, I started another thread about activities to beat the winter blues. I find that with most activities you have to force yourself to participate but by the time you leave you are very glad you went, you’ve had a few laughs.  I picked karate and Toastmasters for mine this winter. 

So what you need to do if Sundays are bothering you, is find something you have always fancied trying and see if they don’t meet on Sundays.  Why not join a real church choir yourself?

It must be a man thing to think that washing cars, windows and cutting grass is fun...get in touch with your arty side.  :)

People will come from strange lands to hear me speak my words of wisdom. They will ask me the secret of life and I will tell them. Then maybe I'll finish off with a song. The Nomad

Good advice Diane, thank you.

Alas, only a poor quality mobile phone recording has saved the world from a youtube clip (courtesy of my darling daughter no less), of me singing Sweet Home Alabama in a Crete pub (circa 4am). My voice is a sin religion would never forgive so I guess the church choir is a non-starter.

I do feel the urge to something meaningful, but I'm seriously hoping it passes before I have to act upon it. I did think of jogging or cycling, but I looked them up in the dictionary and apparently they mean excercise...at my age winking can be strenuous enough.

On with the search for my raison d'etre.

 ;)

I'm tired now.

If I waited for skill or talent...I wouldn't do anything.
