Sundays

I think Sundays may be my favourite day of the week. Not Friday, Sunday. This is because there's no pressure to do anything at all on a Sunday. On a weekday, you have to go to school, work, uni, whatever, and on Friday and Saturday evenings, you're expected to go out, and if you don't, you always end up feeling like a bit of a loser, even if you quite like staying in really, you always feel left out. And no-one except hardened alcoholics goes out for more than one or 2 pints on a Sunday.

But on Sundays, you can do whatever the heck you like, and for me, that now normally involves going for a nice stroll around Brighton lazily looking in shops, I like going shopping at odd times (ie, not Saturdays, waay too busy), I used to go into Leeds every Thurday after school, for... nerd reasons, and now, for those same reasons, I go in on Thursday midmornings, and wander around, much like I do on Sundays.

Cities, and Brighton especially, are a much more pleasant place at 11 O'Clock in the morning on a Sundays, because all though you get a lot of terribly middle class parents with children being pushed in massive buggies blocking up the streets, it's better than 'hooded youths' (I'm only 18 and already I hate most young people). Plus, whoever heard of getting mugged on a Sunday?

Also, some of the North Laine streets are closed to traffic on Sundays, which is nice, cars are disruptive to the unattentive wanderer.

So that's why I like Sundays, just wandering around with no real purpose, of course, this all depends on whether I get upon in time, I'm afraid today I bolstered the cliche of students not getting up before midday and rose at half one, meaning that I had missed the optimum sunday shopping time.

So I stayed in, not feeling left out because everyone else is in, and listened to the excellent Stephen Merchant show on BBC 6Music (another Sunday joy, along with Top Gear, because even though I don't care about cars, I do like Top Gear).

So that's it, 2 blogs, and this one didn't really say much about Brighton life... oh well.
