"Eight days a week I love you.
Eight days a week is not enough to show I care."
(Lennon/McCartney, from the album Beatles for Sale, 1964)
it was the story at the time that the title came from one of ringo starr's 'malapropisms', the same way they got the title "a hard day's night'. paul mccartney had a different version in later years regarding how they came about the title of this song.
-o0o-
so, i made up a calendar with eight days of the week. that's as creative as i could get today. i think you would agree with me that if there would be an eighth day for the week it should be called 'funday' and should be in between saturday and sunday.
i was hoping to catch the sunrise at the beaches but no such luck (and i actually woke up at 4 a.m. hah!) as the sky was heavily shrouded with grey clouds. so photographed the lake again with the ducks, geese, what have you and of course, some late summer flowers.
@cscecil - CS, if you look at the pic of the first flower in the calendar, under thursday, i found a moon flower! yay! we passed by a seniors' home and they have this lovely garden. my partner saw the moon flower and he was quite impressed that i know its name. i got a 'you're not just a pretty face' comment for that!
Hey -- I want one of those calendars!!!! FUN DAY -- YES!!!!! Got my vote!!! And I'm so excited that you found a Moon Flower -- !! Aren't they amazing?? Huge -- and fragrant! So glad you impressed your partner! So glad I could help you do it -- !! Love all your flowers!!! I've been on a "Hermit Weekend" so getting ready to post and catch up! Always checked your photo of the day -- had to have my "summerfifeld fix" -- !!
@cscecil - summerfield fix!?!? hahahaha! i didn't have the chance to check the flower's fragrance. there was an incidence happening at the entrance so had to scoot pretty fast. but i will go back there one of these days to check it out again and take a photo of the whole bush. glad you liked the flowers. thank you, CS!
@sunnygreenwood - so anne, shall we start a petition to have fundays in canada? :-) thank you, anne. much appreciated.
@altadc - everyday is funday (especially when i have money in my pocket!), it's just how we make our day that either makes it fun or not fun. okay, i wish everyday is funday! thank you, alta. much appreciated.
@steeler - howard, you bring the house down with your comedic retorts. i love it!!! i almost choked on my breakfast from laughing. moonday, huh? thank you, howard. much appreciated.
@danig - thank you, DG. much appreciated. i'm not ever the pretty face. i prefer to be the wicked but smart witch of the west! hahahahaha.
@summerfield oh really! witch of the west? my man told me I'd be a great witch; I take that as a huge compliment! I'd definitely be stirring some cauldron to make some evil potion, used only for good of course....
@roth - saw it at the front steps of the greenwood towers on danforth and greenwood. it's a hugh bush and the flowers are as big as my face! hahahaha! thanks, sue.
@catsmeowb - i used to make calendars of activities where i used to work and i'd put different decals for different activities for the day. nice to play around with calendars. thanks, camille. i take it you like the beatles, too?
nice illustration; an alternative theory about the song is that Paul wrote the lyrics based on something that a chauffeur who once drove him to Lennon's house in Weybridge said...Paul is quoted as saying "..the chauffeur drove me out that day and I said, 'How've you been?' – 'Oh working hard,' he said, 'working eight days a week.' I loved the way that expressed working beyond your limits"
