I hated Sundays even more than Wednesdays (that horrible day when you had to spend all afternoon puffing and panting over a stupid piece of grass chasing around after an even more stupid piece of leather). Sunday was the day when we were dressed up in horribly uncomfortable clothes (in which we weren&#039;t allowed to have any fun in, a) because it would be a capital-punishment offence to get those clothes dirty or damaged, and b) Because It&#039;s Sunday), made to sit up to a nauseatingly indigestible breakfast (half a grapefruit, a real trial of dexterity and gag-reflex control for a small child, followed by toast and disgustingly inedible marmalade), then forced to sit through hours and hours (that&#039;s what it felt like) of stupid old men wearing bedclothes droning on and on about meaninglessly incomprehensible and irrelevant abstractions, followed by Sunday Dinner (actually, Sunday Dinner was the high-spot of the entire day, I always did love my roasties, marred irretrievably by the All Hands On Deck ritual of Washing Up) and after that, the screaming-tantrumly tedious Nice Walk. Sunday Tea was another utterly boring meal of bread and butter and jam, cucumber sandwiches (or tomato and cheese if we were lucky, strictly rationed to one round each), and stodgy home-made sponge cake that stuck to the roof of your mouth and choked you. Then we would Listen To Music (quiet as mices), and then time (with some relief that the ordeal was over for another week) for bed.

Fortunately we were not expected to go to church twice in a day until we reached the ripe old age of 10, at which time the unpleasantness of Sunday doubled.

&quot;We&#039;re going canoeing on Sunday, Matt - do you want to come?&quot;
&quot;I can&#039;t, I&#039;m going to church.&quot;|EMAIL|Westwood|URL|prime.mover@proofwiki.org|IP-ADDRESS|94.6.166.145|MODERATIONFLAG|
