In Toronto, the "fun" papers are read on Saturday. Having lived in KL, England, the US and Australia (I could not read the papers in the Netherlands, which was horribly isolating), I have been so accustomed to getting my weekly news round-up along with the latest in lifestyle and arts on Sunday. And yes, I confess..the latest gossip (News of the World cannot be beaten in this regard). It was quite a shock to my weekend routine when I first tried buying the papers on my first Sunday here (huh, why only one paper on sale and why so few sections?). I quickly realised that the Saturday edition was the way to go..but then, what the heck do I do on Sunday? Was Sunday not the day I am to be left alone after breakfast/brunch to devour the news? I was lost for while. But what am I if not resilient and I now cannot fathom why other countries have not caught on to this. I recall of the many times I have been irritated upon reading an article on some sort of goings on in town on Sunday afternoon...at 2pm on the Sunday (I like my long Sunday breakfasts...did I mention?). I also hated reading about a fun whatever that was held on the Saturday...which I obviously missed. I am now clued in on the weekend events in advance..but still in limbo post Sunday pancakes. So what do I do now?
I play with Sash and Doug...
I do the groceries
Or rather, Sash does the groceries
My weekend routine has been changed, for the better I think.

Here's abit of useless information -
In NL the big weekend paper is also the Saturday paper. Not Sunday because traditionally they are supposed to go to church on Sunday.
I scan the newspaper and read the articles with big photos, to make sure I get all the (non-important) intellectually-challenged bits of news:-)
At least you can shop on Sunday. Here, they are 'supposed' to be going to church :-)
Who says I live in the first world country?
Hugs.
p.s Sasha is looking fab!
