APAD: A Sunday well spent brings a week of content

楼主 (文学峸)

Meaning:
In order to have a more peaceful week ahead, which seems impossible with homework, papers, studying, work or after-school activities, some like to accomplish a specific chore or duty on their Sunday.

Origin
It is a well known proverb of unknown origin.  I have tried but only found a picture to show that it is indeed a proverb.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I was working, I always took Saturdays off, but worked half day on Sundays.  Otherwise work would pile up and the Monday after woud be very stressful (btw my normal work days then were 9 to 10 hours long minimum).

Nowdays Sunday is just another day of the week for us.  It is sunny and warm (going to be 17C!) today, so we plan to go downtown on our e-bikes.
 
Thank you for reading and wish you all a well-spent Sunday!

In a way, yes, but it has to be done on a Sunday. ;-)

Pics from our bike trip today for my APAD friends :-)

Added: my tool is a 8 years old IPhone SE (leftover from my son) and a 8 years old IPad Air2 (gift from my son).  Thus the quality.

一位小姐姐当时数了,一共有29只!我们骑到桥的另一边又看到了第30只,自己孤零零地趴在浮木上,大概是被赶出来的,好可伶。
