Best Day Of The Week.

When I was working, in common with many others, always got that ‘Sunday night feeling’.

Now retired, I still feel it, even though I don’t have work to go to.

Monday is still my least favourite day, why, I really don’t know, as most of my days follow a similar pattern.

I used to dislike Saturdays when working as it was washing and housework day, but since retiring, it’s my favourite, as I don’t feel obliged to do any jobs I don’t want to, as it’s the weekend, and a leisure day.

Daft, I know.

Since we retired every day is the best day, no day set set aside for specific tasks, just do as we please as and when, spontaneity, imagination and a love of life.

When I first read your post I thought you had written "spontaneity and imagination in our love life" ......although if that is how your retirement is going.......grin

Always disliked Sundays, spent too much time worrying about work on Mondays to enjoy the day off. Been retired now for many years but still can't shake off that Sunday feeling.

Now we are both retired every day the same really, though we like the week days to visit national trust places and parks etc as it’s much quieter than weekends

Oh Bacardi and coke for me on a Friday too, Nankate. It wasn’t always this way however it’s developed over the years since it was just the two of us again. A walk to the local at 6 pm it’s a weekly highlight for sure.

Silly nanny 321.
So sorry to hear you are lonely. Is there nowhere you could go to meet other people of similar age ie. Age u.k. or U3A.
Maybe get a cat or dog they are great company.

I’m with pantglas2 exactly my thoughts now we retired. Weather seems to dominate what we do 😂

I’ve always loked Wednesdays, don’t know why?? Maybe because it’s a quieter day!
Going back to work never bothered me as I loved my job😊.
I hate Bank Holidays, too busy!!

Once retired I completely switched my favorite day to Mondays! I can sleep in, plan a fun week, relax. I also love Fridays and Saturdays which comprise my weekend.

Ho-hum Sundays are quiet, reflective, relaxing and generally do not leave the house. I do not plan anything nor accept any invitations.

At my age every day is the best day
