Mondays get a bad rap and they dont get much of a good write up in the blues, ballads or rock songs either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kobdb37Cwc Theyre either blue, manic, rainy or just repetitive depending on who you listen to. Even the Boomtown Rats had it in for them! So lets hear the other side of the story for once. Lets just celebrate whats awesome about Mondays apart from the way they keep songwriters busy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OEkivwz1Bk Once upon a time long, long ago in a Galaxy advert far, far away, Monday was wash day. Imagine clean white sheets billowing in a warming Monday morning breeze who doesnt like crisp clean sheets? OK, so the washing itself was never much fun, but you cant beat the blissful caress of a freshly made bed on a Monday night. Everyone needs something to look forward to, and what could be better than the promise of a little luxury at bedtime? If youve done the washing you deserve a treat, and you certainly shouldnt have to cook. Too much domestic bliss in one day is bad for the complexion after all (remember Monday's Child is fair of face). Thanks to the nice people at JUST EAT every Monday in June gives you the chance to win the takeaway of your choice for free. Everybody likes free (and its another thing that makes musicians happy). JUST EAT believe in #minifistpump Mondays, and just like them we agree that a freebie for tea delivered hot and tasty to your door has to be something to celebrate. There is even the JUST EAT app to download and make life even more bearable. Talk about things that make you appy! Gossip is everyones hottest topic. When else do you get to catch up like you do on a Monday morning? How could any of us get by without the crucial matter of a Monday natter? Conversationally speaking, its what weekends were invented for! Its true that Mondays can sometimes be recovery days. Every now and again we can find that the hectic activity of the weekend has left us a little drained. Sometimes it can feel that Mondays really do represent the hard yards in the week. But think like a professional you get paid for working your way back to feeling human again on a Monday. Why would you want to waste your own time feeling like that? Soaps arent just for washing. If you get your kicks from Corrie, if Home and Away makes you happy and if Eastenders and Emmerdale enervate your evenings then the weekend is just 48 hours too long. Settle down with a plate on your knee, a remote by your side and a good soap on TV and youll soon see, Mondays arent anywhere near as bad as those old singers made them out to be. So you see, despite what they say, there is plenty thats good about the start of the week. There really is a lot to say, and maybe even sing, about #minifistpump Mondays. By AJ Batac
