How
beautiful it is to do nothing, and then rest afterward. Spanish Proverb
Sweet F.A. Sunday!
That’s what today’s all about, I was walking round Sainsbury’s
doing my shopping in a bit of a daydream because I was so tired yesterday when
I heard a lady say, “tonight I’ll be doing sweet F.A.”, and I looked at her and
replied “Me too”, although she wasn’t talking to me, she looked back smiled and
said, “you know what it means too don’t ya”, I nodded and went on my way.
So Sweet F.A. has always meant Sweet Fanny Adams in our
house, which mean doing nothing basically, or nothing of any use! So this morning I’ve just googled it to find
out it’s origin and oh my it’s not nice!
If you want to know http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_Adams
go read for yourself!
Anyway I’m still doing nothing much today, it’s been a very
busy week so today’s all about relaxing, so that’s what I suggest everyone
finds some time to do today, you don’t have to do it all day unless you want to
of course, but find yourself some you time.
Listening to that lady continue her conversation in Sainsbury’s made me
realise we all have lots of similarities in our life. We’re all busy and rushed and when we do get
time to stop, we often feel lazy because there’s still so much to do! I’m not going to even think about all the
things that could be done today, I’m going to use the time to relax my mind,
body and soul and also to spend some time with the single most important person
in my world – my mom. We shall watch
last nights rubbish factor, just so we can slate it for the whole time, then we’ll
watch something else, she shall read the newspaper highlights to me even though I’m not remotely interested
in what’s going on in the world! Then an
hour or so later she’ll read them to me again, and so the day will
continue! It drives me mad when the
papers get hold of a story such as the Jimmy Saville thing and it’s in everyday
for a week or more because I hear that story 4 or 5 times a day for however
long it stays in the paper! I don’t let
on to mom she’s told me, I just listen and look aghast again ;-)
I’m considering a nice long bath with a book for an hour
too, that’s always a good move on a Sunday, and I will go for a long walk with
Alfie before settling into my Stagnant Sunday.
I’m going to keep it short today, because Alfie has just
come and reminded me not only did we sleep 12 hours last night but I’ve been
messing on pc for an hour and he’s ready for his walk. So we’re off, enjoy your day whatever your
plans.
Remember to stop and remember at 11am today. xx
