I said i had a title prepared. This is therefore part one of a week of song title blog posts. So far I have four of the seven nights covered. Linking to the posts will involve a change to the planned menu tomorrow evening, and a bit of violence on Saturday, but Sunday is well in hand. I just need three songs and I’m done. Looks like Wiki is going to be getting a hammering.
I just tried that – there are a lot of Monday titles I hadn’t thought of. There is also a dearth of Thursday songs – I have found three so far and despite David Bowie doing one of them they are universally dreadful.
So it’s the Boomtown Rats for Monday. It could have been Fleetwood Mac, but the addition of “I Don’t Like . . .” makes it much more accurate. In addition, Fleetwood Mac start with Monday but are soon on Friday.

I’m tempted to do a French Revolution on days of the week and change all the names. This was 1792 to 1806. It clearly didn’t catch on. However, they didn’t link them to music.
If you made the first day of the week “Roxette” I think you’d find that feelings towards Mondays changed and there would be a lot more energy about for returning to work.

I’m working on the rest, but I’m thinking of replacing Christmas Day with Wizzard Day.
Actually, it’s not a great idea for blogging as I have spent far too much time listening to music and trying to select my new days of the week, when I should either have been engaged in witty banter or [lotting to bring down the current regime. When I sweep to power it’s a toss up whether I sort out the economy or the days of the week first. probably the days of the week because they are important. The economy is a mystery and never seems to improve whatever happens. We always pay too much tax, there is never enough money to run the country and rich people always get richer. There is clearly something wrong with economics and they need redesigning. Or, taking the example of do many modern leaders, I will just leave office much richer than I entered it, and do nothing to improve life for anybody apart from my family.
I think this will be my Friday choice. the optimism and energy of Roxette has been dissipated by the working week and the reality of despair is setting in . . . But possibly, just possibly, there is a little hope at the end of it all. Personally, I’m looking forward to the end of the week.

I agree with Laurie, Simon, listening to music is always a good thing.
I like the poppies and corn wreath.
The poppies are made from the bottoms of PET bottles. We did quite a few at one time.
I remember those from earlier posts. Julia had come up with the idea for making them I think.
She found the idea on the internet and suddenly we were in mass production of various installations. 🙂 Motivation and organisation are her watchwords.
Don’t forget that retirement changes the need to worry about Mondays
This is true, but it’ss till the day that Julia decides to line me up and give instructions for the rest of the week. 🙂
What a fun way to organize a week of blogging! And listening to music is never a waste of time.
I never minded Mondays in my working days. I was full of enthusiasm for the new week. It was Thursday afternoons that were the worst. They never seemed to end, especially in the winter months.
This is true. It has varied for me over the years depending on what I was doing. However, I remember dreading Mondays when I was at school and in one or two jobs and this is what has taken hold. Your point about Thursdays is good – when I was gardening the week seemed to slow down on both Thursday and Friday afternoons. My two favourite customers were on Thursday and Friday mornings, and they were some of the best times.
