What is a nice lie in for you? For me, 8 o’clock would be lovely, and I know I’m a lucky parent that I get that occasionally at the weekend. What about when you were a child, what was a good lie in for you then? My memory was I enjoyed the mornings then, much more than I do now. In fact, I’ve often wished my energy habits would return to the childhood pattern so I’m more eager to get out of bed in the morning.
However, this journal from 23rd November 1991, 25 years ago, suggests maybe I wasn’t too keen on the mornings then either. I can not remember a time when I stayed in bed until 3pm, except for when I’ve been ill, but it seems to be something I was proud of this day, as it is almost the whole entry:
Was very tired didn’t get up till 3pm and then to bath as side was hurting ate tea and watched video and back to bed
Yes, that is the whole entry and I don’t want to think too much about my grammar and lack of punctuation! Do you remember what you were doing 25 years ago?
Whether I ought to have my hair permed – 14th September 1991

That’s the middle of the afternoon! I do remember lie ins as a teen and then at Uni but not until that late!
Then again sometimes my children spend but day in their PJs and they love it!
PJ days are great and are different to staying in bed. I can not imagine staying in bed that late now, even when I’m ill I make the effort to get up so I get a change of scenery!
