My Favourite Sunday Activity

Wishing to rise to jillygirl's challenge, I'd like to share my favourite Sunday activity with you. (If I'm honest, it is my favourite activity every other day).

It's...dolce far niente...which is Italian for "the sweetness of doing nothing"! I've done my morning exercise, had breakfast, washed up and now I can do whatever I please, which for now is to listen to whatever music suits my mood and just let my mind wander.

Here's what is on my playlist so far:

youtube.com/watch?v=5aFj4IY...

youtube.com/watch?v=ByNg5iv...

(Fingers crossed these links work - if not, I'll shout for help from the admins).

That first one - the extended play version of Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by Santa Esmeralda is very pleasing to my ears - all those Spanish guitars - not to mention those dancing ladies, which are balm for the eyes. I listened to/watched all 14 mins, while clearing up, It was worth it!

The second - On The Roof - the James Taylor version - is so soothing and warm. He gave this song another dimension, IMHO. I was singing along to the lyrics! Anyone care to join me up there?😊

Replacing Lifeisacabaret s videos.

Sometimes just a different year on you tube videos can work. Hope I found the correct ones for you. ☺️

Most grateful, jillygirl! Those will do very nicely (my James Taylor vid was different, and had the lyrics, but yours is fine).

I did things slightly differently from what you described doing, so I might try your method next time - can't hurt, anyway! I wonder if it works differently depending on the browser used? I use MS Edge on Windows 11.
