1. aaaahhhhhh sounds positively divine 🙂

   • Friday has its advantages.

     • And Saturdays…when I sleep until I can’t sleep anymore rather than obeying the clock 😉

2. Bjorn, I can just feel the winding down after a long work week in this poem. Red wine, cheese, and music sound like the perfect accompaniments to a Friday!

   • It is.. and we do that every friday in winter.

3. Fridays are Fab, even for me as retired, because my younger still-working wife is home, & the week end can commence, visits by grandchildren, dinners out, plays, concerts, movies, card parties–followed too soon by the re-yoking, putting the vocational harness back on blue for Monday.

   • Friday is something special.. really.

4. Very evocative poem, Björn!I like the way you slide into the weekend with wine, cheese and music! And sometimes I’d just love to ‘let embers consume the week of’ school work!
   the week of (school) work!

   • We have to do that.. it really works..

5. Christmas is a’coming and it’s nearly Friday too – we thank goodness for all these things and wish good thoughts to everyone especially friends and family. My heart to you Bjorn. Have wonderful holidays. It’s been a joy reading you this year. Thank you.

   • I have enjoyed this year a lot.. looking back at what I wrote a year ago.. this is a perfect school to grow as a poet.

6. yay! i am all for tomorrow being friday and shelving the work for a few days….smiles…and next friday all the more as we will be out on winter break…woohoo….my weekend self is a little different maybe…smiles.

   • We need to enjoy Friday’s in the best way we can,

7. TGIF! Let the candles burn. A fine read!

   • Indeed. candles are the best thing..

8. Hiya Bjorn,
   My fire/hearth is definitely out of doors, and the fire /warmth is within my mood when I’m away from house and hearth. I can see the need for it in your long winters.Have a good midwinter time.

   • Oh in summer we would spend the friday’s on our balcony.

9. The reference of candles in the second para – is just marvelous beyond words. I am learning a lot from you.

   • Thank you.. we all learn from each other.. everytime.

10. This is lovely Bjorn, and I agree Friday is the best day to give up the pressures of the week and relax with frinds over a drink or two.

    • Thank you Michael, when darkness is upon us like a wet blanket.. that’s the way it has to be…

11. Well, our weekends are work these days – both in ministry – but I do remember that Friday, “aaaaaaaaah,” on with the coat and out the door, and never fast enough to get home to my little girl. Well done, Bjorn; simple, yet affecting. Peace, Amy

    • Ah.. yes here weekends are definitely ahh…

12. I could feel a little of the week’s tension seep away with each line I read.

    • Just another day … just another day.

13. oh that sounds like the perfect way to start the weekend…. can’t wait until mine starts… we’re having the company christmas party tomorrow though….

    • Sometimes parties can be a nuisance.. one just want to enjoy the quietness of being alone reading poetry.

14. That second stanza sounds so cosy – makes me look forward to the weekend too.

    • Do remember to make Friday cozy.

15. This is a lovely glimpse into you and your home life – I would love to have a lovely fire to sit around, it reminds me of growing up!

    • It was one of the things we really wanted in our house… and yes it’s wonderful at this time of the year.

16. It is a shame, though, one is forced to think of work as being on or off. It was not like that some years ago. Work being a calling, we would enjoy working. And we would have confidence in the common effort. I wish you, though, a nice weekend. It sounds like a very nice tradition you have established in your family.

    • It is – and I certainly remember my father enjoying weekends in his way too..

17. Tomorrow is Friday, indeed! You’ve captured the relaxation that only comes on Friday after work. Peace, Linda

18. I don’t mean to be superficial but you had me completely at Red Wine and cheese. Conversations of going away, frosting on the cake…think I will have to welcome my hubby with all of the above when he gets home from the late shift tonight! 😉

19. Ah, I love the poem with the print of Van Gogh together! How lovely, Bjorn

20. It’s so good to have things to look forward to like this…our little rituals with the ones we love. Happy Friday!

21. Wonderful poem. I know that feeling so well, from when I worked in an office. As soon as I came home, I’d have a glass of wine – – and whine!

22. Lovely stuff which I understand so well. But for me – because of shift patterns – my Friday is Wednesday. Oh how I love Wednesdays!
    Merry Christmas Björn.
    Anna :o]

23. straight from the hearth/heart – a lovely way to close your week- wine, cheese, good friends by an open fire…. hmm almost makes me wish for winter to return….almost 🙂

24. Love this poem, the reverence in its tone for time. You’ve captured my love of Fridays when I was still working–I always felt that after Friday, there was no more weekend to matter 🙂

25. Coming home to our true selves, the embers and wine and cheese.

26. Thats what we do every weekend but it so happens that Weekends are more tiring then weekdays work…….

27. …and as for today think about tomorrow?

28. I can relate to the first stanza! What a week it’s been … now relaxing by the fire. Thank God it’s Friday. TGIF as we say in NY … have a nice weekend, Bjorn 🙂

29. I must get my fire going and banish the thoughts of business in its flames

30. I think this is the strongest stanza.

    Tomorrow we’ll light a fire
    and let embers consume
    the week of office work

31. It’s Sunday here…Im away but head back tomorrow to the grindstone. Your poem reflects the desire of many to have some down time away from work Enjoyed this one..short simple and straightforward..my favourite type of poetry!

32. Beautiful ending to the work week. Just lovely!

33. I am late so Friday is today..enjoyed your poem..Friday’s are a great
    time to unwind from the week and music always makes me smile.

34. a promising weekend!! 😀
