Sabbath

Sundays are rarely a day of rest for clergy and their families but usually involve at least one visit to "work." Any more than one and I am in danger of making my children "churched out!" which is their phrase for an overdose of religion.
Whilst not the best candidate for day of rest Sundays usually allow one indulgence: the afternoon snooze. Today I had a particularly good one that began with a houseful but ended with just the family left.
The snooze is a great gift from my dad, who without even the drop of a hat could take a quick nap pretty much anywhere.
Wouldn't britain be a better place if we all had an afternoon snooze... An hour of rest even if you don't get an day of it.
