Do you remember when every day used to have its own identity? I remember when Fridays used to...

Yes! I'm long retired but I still think of the days of the week as I did in grade school with being "released" from school in late afternoon Friday being the most joyous time.

In my ancestral county they have a Saint for each day of each four year cycle, and a unique new astrological reading for that day, and you hear it on the radio along with the weather report.
In the USA everyone has a different work schedule and his own Friday. That's on purpose. No society. And my class works all of your holidays without holiday pay - you can't afford to pay us more and you have control! We look at the middle class and don't wonder why!

Part is because nowadays everything is open on Sundays. Restaurants, cafés, marketplaces...
I remember a decade or two ago, it wasn't like that. We had to get all that we needed because "everything is going to be closed on Sunday"

Awesome post. Yes, I can definitely remember those days, especially in the 70's.

In my school years Sundays were usually the lowest point of the week, with Friday nights to Saturday mornings usually being the highest point, then gradually tapering to a slightly low point by the afternoon, before rising to a high point by the evening.

Great observation. Plus I was wearing my days of the week underpants. 👍

Indeed: Even if you ignored the relkigioius "day of rest" concept, Sundays were always restful, or a chance to go out for the day somewhere.

The rot set in when the shops, especially supermarkets, started opening all day every day.
