Like you I am not fond of weekends. Dunno why really. We broke the ritual of shopping on Saturdays etc years ago but every Friday I still think "Oh dear ~ another two days of nothing until next week" which is daft as I don't do much in the week either.

Always been the odd day out.
As a child the abiding memory is "Two Way Family Favourites" on the radio as my mother cooked Sunday Lunch. I cannot hear the theme tune without being transported back to the early 60s.
As an adult when I lived alone, Sundays were the dullest day imaginable, looking back I wonder why I didn't do more. It always seemed to be 'back to work tomorrow' rather than a day in it's own right.
Once I married, apart from the occasional 'lie in' eyes: Sundays were house and garden maintenance day. Garden centres, DIY stores and the dreaded IKEA.
Now, the children go off to their mother early afternoon giving me time to tidy up and get the housework done. By this time of day I'm normally slumped in front of the TV.

Do you suppose it is a hang over from when we weren't supposed to do anything but go to church, eat lunch and play quietly so as not to disturb Dad who was sleeping in the chair, hidden from view by the Sunday paper?
As I remember even the Sunday afternoon games had to be "worthy" and not involve noise or guns or cowboys and stuff like that as it wasn't seemly for a Sunday. Also we were still "dressed" for church and Grandparents could be expected to call at tea-time. Yes Two Way Family Favourites followed by Round the Horne, The Navy Lark or Hancock whilst lunch was prepared and eaten then the radio was switched off. Dad got his paper out, Mum had her knitting and we read a book or played Ludo or summat until Dad woke.
Back then of course the TV wasn't on in the afternoons on a Sunday or at least so we were told. TV started at about 7pm if I remember rightly by which time lil bruvver and I were in bed. Later it was "Sunday Night at The London Palladium" and I was allowed to watch that but when we first got a TV we only had the BBC. (A quick Google confirms that "Palladium" started in 1955 when I was 8.)
By heck that all takes me back. Father snoring and Mother knitting .... the sounds are as evocative as Ella Fitzgerald singing "Every Time We Say Goodbye" ............ how the fvck did we get from that normality to where we are today with feral youths lounging against my front garden wall like a pack of dogs that can smell a bitch in heat. Yes we have a Teenage Daughter and she is not allowed out on Sundays "EVERYONE else can go out on a Sunday .... You are soooooooo old fashioned". Yep that's me. cool14:

Sunday's at the moment to me exploring deeper parts of Surrey.
When I was young, it was Weekend World, boring lunch at the grand parents, more shite on TV and then back home at about seven o'clock. Then, allowed out for half an hour on our bicycles before getting back in, having the weekly bath and then to bed.

I always read the horoscopes in the Dentist's waiting room. The magazines are so far out of date I am able to scoff at the nonsense on the basis that "It didn't happen" ~ unless of course it rings true when I can say "Wel;l look at that, who would have believed it, if only I had known before."

We have desalination plants but not enough – they’re working flat out already.
The last water cuts were seven years ago…. In that time the government has done absolutely nothing about the problem – rather like the UK really.
Even this importing thing was being talked about last year and they didn’t actually put it in motion ‘til about March – they’ve just had their heads in the sand and hoped for rain.
Consequently we have water cuts – two days a week here at the moment I’ve got a great big tank on the back of my truck which I use to collect non-potable water for the pool and garden.

And what has our village done to alleviate the water shortage do you think…? rubschin:
Correct, planted a brand new grass football pitch! Banghead
NEW FOOTBALL PITCH & RECREATION GROUND
Progress has been made towards the completion of the new state-of-the-art grass
football pitch at the top of the Village. With the completion of the levelling works
and the installation of complex drainage, the inevitable taxing logistical problems
have been successfully tackled. We are now waiting for the watering tanks for
irrigation, which will feed from an adjacent dedicated borehole and will not affect
normal Village water supplies. On Monday they will start fencing the area (no dogs!).
Seeding is to be done next Thursday.
The pitch will provide a great amenity for the Village for many years to come. The
location, right next to the two village schools, is ideal.
The project started over a year ago, and the bulk of the heavy work has been
carried out by Sappers from 62 (Cyp) Sup Sqn RE from Dhekelia as a donation to the
community. The Forces team, for whom this sort of project is not only rewarding
but a useful logistical experience, has been warmly welcomed and cosseted by the
local community. They have been challenged to a match with the Village when the
pitch is ready.
Some 3000 tons of earth, needing 120 lorries, have been moved to and spread on
the site. From the pictures below you will get an idea of the scale of the huge heavy
plant needed, including the sifting of the earth into clean sand for the surface of
the pitch. The finished pitch will be 6,600 square metres. It will have a caretaker,
appointed by the Council, solely responsible for maintaining the pitch.
The Mukhtar, and the Village, are grateful to the Chief Officer of the SBA, Peter
Draycot, LCpl Paul Patterson and the squadron SNCOs and Mr. Akis. The
coordinator of the management of the project from within the Village has been
Petros Foutas, our Village Office Executive Secretary, who must feel a great
satisfaction at the successful conclusion of such an immense project. Plans and
technical supervision were carried out by Mr Stefos Zachariou, the Technical
Advisor of the Council.

All these bore holes must mean there is water down there .... why is it not cleaned and used?
There are some boreholes that produce drinkable water… most are classified as non-potable and the water used to, um water crops, football pitches or the lovely floral displays on the central reservation of all the motorways… oh and keep the goats going too…
Inevitably as more and more water is pumped out of the ground it eventually becomes contaminated with salt water…

One would have assumed Sea Water would be good enough to put out fires or does that contaminate the land too much for later use?

There are some boreholes that produce drinkable water… most are classified as non-potable and the water used to, um water crops, football pitches or the lovely floral displays on the central reservation of all the motorways… oh and keep the goats going too…
Inevitably as more and more water is pumped out of the ground it eventually becomes contaminated with salt water…
rubschin: Greece gets a lot of forest/bush fires every year due, I thought, to drought. Where are they finding all this spare water and what is going to happen in the North of the Island ~ or did they manage to grab the rainy side?
I think the occupied areas prolly get water from Turkey… rubschin:
I’ve no idea where Greece is finding eight million tonnes of water from tho… shrugs:
We of course have major fire problems here… Cypriots flicking cigarette ends out of car windows don’t help… When I was out off-roading the other day we stopped next to a dam where giant Russian helicopters (that the Cypriot government rents in the fire season) were collecting water from to dump on a fire somewhere… noooo:

One would have assumed Sea Water would be good enough to put out fires or does that contaminate the land too much for later use?
They generally use sea water... I guess on this occasion the (almost empty) dam was closer to the fire... noooo:
