Why was the writer's aunt surprised?
It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunch time. Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. ‘What a day!' I thought.‘It's raining again.' Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy. ‘I've just arrived by train,' she said. ‘I'm coming to see you.'
‘But I'm still having breakfast,' I said.
‘What are you doing?' she asked.
‘I'm having breakfast,' I repeated.
‘Dear me,' she said. ‘Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock!'

Note on the text 课文注释
1 on Sundays, 指每个星期日。星期几的前面用介词on。
2 What a day! 多么糟糕的天气！这是一个省略的感叹句。完整的句子应该是What a day it is!英语中的感叹句常用what开头，后面紧跟一个名词或名词性短语（包括连系动词），然后是主语和谓语，句尾用感叹号。
3 I’m coming to see you. 在这句话中现在进行时用来表示近期按计划或安排要进行的动作。
4 Dear me! 天哪！这也是一个感叹句。2
参考译文
那是个星期天，而在星期天我是从来不早起的，有时我要一直躺到吃午饭的时候。上个星期天，我起得很晚。我望望窗外，外面一片昏暗。“鬼天气！”我想，“又下雨了。”正在这时，电话铃响了。是我姑母露西打来的。“我刚下火车，”她说，“我这就来看你。”
“但我还在吃早饭，”我说。
“你在干什么？”她问道。
“我正在吃早饭，”我又说了一遍。
“天啊，”她说，“你总是起得这么晚吗？现在已经1点钟了！”
