Everything Closes on Sundays
And even though its Monday, everything has closed today. I am taking a study break from my reading and later John is going to cook me dinner. (Isn't that sweet of him?) A lot of things are closed (or close early) on Sundays in the UK. I think its quaint, and its certainly nice for everyone to have a day off. I said this last night and one of John's roommates said, "Why? Its not their lives, people should be able to work if they want to." Which is interesting. I know of no one would would honestly say, "Yes, please, I know this is a holiday, but I'd like some more mandatory toil, please." But, that could just be me being sarcastic. But, being that today is a bank holiday, its Easter Monday, everything is closed today. Well, not everything. The grocery stores that were shut yesterday are open today, but walking down the road to the grocers was a little like being in a ghost town. Everything was sealed up and shut, grates down and doors locked. The coffee shop I like to frequent was open and I would have stopped for a cup but I was on a mission to buy bacon so that I could make grilled cheese with bacon sandwiches. Everything is quiet, my housemates are still all gone away on holiday. But, that's okay. I have lovely daffodils my Mom bought when she was here and later I will be having spaghetti with John. It should make for a nice evening. Also, the sun is out and its shining. I dig that.
