Sunday day off or another day of work

[An Gof]

I just carry on as normal on a Sunday. If a job needs doing then its done.
My late Mother never used to approve but never stopped me. Father was Churchwarden for many years so it was always church first on a Sunday morning for him and mother. Weather doesn't allow us to take a strict line that no work is done on a Sunday here.

Work on a Sunday here, if it needs doing it gets done. I do try to make sure we all have as many off as possible however.

Always seem to be more calving on sundays...
Particularly today

 

[Bullring]

Work on a Sunday is just the same as any other day of the week, jobs need doing so what’s another day. I’m struggling to know what day of the week it is at the moment, it’s like the whole Christmas thing.

I always think Sunday should be renamed Sprayday, because it seems to be the only day that the wind drops enough to do any spraying.

Who me? it's a simple question. Did you do all this withing 100yds of other peoples houses. So far slightly more people that at least do less on a sunday than a normal "work day"

No I was calling myself an idiot.

You can only see one other house from ours and that's a farm half a mile away.

If you’ve got stock you have to work Sunday’s

There's a lot of 24/7 shift workers around here so its always someone's 'Sunday'.
Normal work noise in town, builders, road works etc is between 7 and 6 mon-fri, maybe Saturday too.
The biggest pain are those that think everyone's at a party on Saturday night, so they make a right noise, with music etc.
A lot of farms work all the time but everything's more spread out, so you don't get the complaints.

Don’t work a Sunday at all here! Really appreciate it since having family, no matter the hours put in through the week always one day at home that you can make plans! Sunday’s should be compulsory day off obviously with exceptions where livestock involved!

What day was it today?

 

[Two Tone]

Try not to work on Sunday’s unless there is work to be done. I’ll usually try to work longer hours during the week to be able to take Sundays off.

However, it does annoy me that this time of the year, there are a lot of Bank Holidays when we are busy!

I completely get the when something needs to be done. And do work on a sunday but try and keep quite or less disruptive jobs for then. Like cut the grass on a Saturday instead of a Sunday

 

[Bobthebuilder]

if there's work to do and the weather's right it gets done no ,matter what day of the week, might not start till 9 on a sunday tho depends how i feel

 

[Speedstar]

Normally work on Sundays weather it is in the workshop working on tractor pulling things or looking at jobs for the coming weeks,

 

[Kidds]

Try harder not to disturb neighbours on a Sunday. Don’t know why as it is never reciprocated.
Having said that I had a digger with a concrete breaker here today.

 

[ORRA LOON]

Saturday is our Sunday at this time of year, we harvest carrots Sunday to Thursday, maintenance and repairs of the kit on Friday. Saturday off which is something I appreciate much more now I’m older , used to love working 7 days a week but try not to now if I can.

Lambed a ewe, fed cows, spread slurry and read the paper. Quite relaxing overall

Sunday is just another day why is it considered special

 

[ARW]

this time of year we fence 6 days a week then we have Sunday off, I spend most Sunday’s usually looking at jobs and catching up with my own jobs, or repairing things or delivering materials or machines for the next week, always try and do nothing Sunday afternoon, me and the gf went and took up 300 metres of clipex this morning then had the afternoon off.
There was a time when we would fence Sunday’s as well a long while back, but I was getting so tired and sick we would get no more done, 60 hours a week fencing is the limit for me

Sunday is just another day why is it considered special

Its considered a day of rest to some. I know shops are open but most are reduced hours.
Everyone needs a little bit of peace. Can you say you would be happy with a chainsaw buzzing away as you sit down to relax whenever that is
