Very fun posts...But I have an ask, Why should the Monday's be so Blue Monday ? If you know ?
Another Question that I wonder about the "Love is Blue" or a sort of Pleasure? Once according to the Greeks the famous Female singer Na Na Mousucuri ( is this spell?? ) answered it like as " pleasure " ....LOL....PS. I love the Beautiful Sunday....

Yes, also listen to Another Saturday Night by Cat Stevens. Very popular in the 60s in Singapore.
Cheers.

"Hi hi hi, beautiful Sunday
This is my my my beautiful day
When you said said said said that you loved me
oh my my my its a beautiful day"

Suddenly, my childhood days relive in my memory again. Hey, I could even hear my childhood friends humming this songs so clearly.

What a perfect way to start my Saturday. Thanks you so much for the memory, Andy.
