Topic 4. My Day Off Relaxing Sundays
Actress Jenny Agutter talks about her Sundays on both sides of the Atlantic.
“Whether I’m at home in Los Angeles or staying in England Sunday is a day to relax, and so there are no alarms set. In California breakfast is fruit and yoghurt followed by pancakes and lots of coffee. Most of the morning is spent reading the newspaper, eating pancakes and pottering around the house doing things like gardening or tiding up. However, I don’t iron on Sunday. My pet hates are ironing and washing up.
In the afternoon I go out on my bike – maybe to the beach, where there are lots of people around, and it’s very lively. Otherwise I drive into the hills near Hollywood and walk in the forests. This is really wonderful, because there are some beautiful waterfalls and it’s usually very quiet there.
Later in the afternoon I have friends round and we either have a barbecue or go out to a Chinese restaurant. In the evening I stay in and watch a late night movie or a video. I particularly love old Cary Grant films.
When I’m staying in England I stay with my parents, who live in Brixton, or rent a place if I’m filming. Sunday is still a late morning. I may have a croissant and a cup of coffee for breakfast but I don’t eat much because I look forward to traditional English Sunday lunch. I don’t mind cooking, so I spend the morning doing that. I love roast lamb so I usually have that, followed by sherry trifle.
Lunch is a time for seeing family and friends, so it usually takes a long time – eating, drinking wine and relaxing. If I don’t cook it’s nice to go and have Sunday lunch at a country pub. I really miss pubs, and Guinness, when I’m in Los Angeles. I have always loved walking since I used to stroll along the canal in Regent’s Park in the afternoon. I always leave the newspapers until the evening when I’m over here, and I buy them all – from the gossipy ones to the serious ones. I probably have just a light meal in the evening and again spend the evening watching television rather than going out.
I’m so busy during the week that Sunday has become my most precious day. It is one of the few days that I get eight hours sleep, which sets me up for the next week.”
