I see them going about their lives,
Each day they go to work.
Some enjoy their work,
Others do not.
In their working week
They look forward,
Look forward to that day,
That day after Friday,
When their work for the week
Is complete.
Saturday is a special day.
Many have said to me
I am glad it is Saturday,
I just look at them and smile.
Having worked my forty seven years
And one month,
Never forget the one month,
In my life now,
Every day’s a Saturday.

Andy,
Yes, always looked forward to the Saturdays!
I enjoyed the video!
The cellists played with such passion! Their facial expressions were incredible!
Thank you for sharing.

A fine write Gold. Some hate Mondays, but Fridays (or last day of working week, if working weekends/shifts etc), could be the worse, especially if having seeming 'long weeks'. What day of the week was it for the 1066 Battle?
Oh, come on now Orchi, you know darn well it was a Saturday as you kept on about having the day off but back in those days there were no days off!!
Good Sunday Uncle Andy - We trust all is well with you as you enjoy your well earned *Week of Saturdays* Ahhhhhhh the aural blessings of the CELLO and the blessings of TWO is exponential (tenfold !). I (B) have a cousin Hannah and the only instrument she wanted to play (from the age of FOUR) was the CELLO ! Her beloved instrument - required for her to study Music @ University - cost £3500 ! Now she is a Mother of Three but still teaches Cello. Thanks for sharing. Retirement to us seems like a FANTASY and at least 30 years into an uncertain future ! But we both earn a crust and enjoy our jobs and are free most weekends - AMEN
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian 💛💛💛💛💛
I do like this (and love the 2Cellos - Hauser playing Adagio(Albinoni) moves me too). It sounds like your saturdays are very well-deserved.
Thank you Jeremy, I get moved by a great deal of music into all types of emotions.
Yes I too believe I have earned my Saturdays, I was never out of work.
Andy
You walked the line my friend! As I get lost in rhythm & blues this fine ring morning I feel your vibe!
It should be like this for me now and I'll take your words on board!
Stride well, you is the man!
Thank you for your very kind words Dan, they are much appreciated.
Andy
Tis a great feeling Andy but my don't it take some serious getting used to eh.... enjoy sir... you earnt and deserve it..... N
I got used to it as soon as I retired - so many things to do - that I want to do - so little time.
Andy
I worked all weekend, so when I get a Saturday I make it special!
Enjoy them all you can V, enjoy every day as well they are special and will not come back when they pass.
