  2. The Lore of Certain Days

    Share Share Post
    Friday is an unlucky day to start work on. Any one who does so, will be a long time before he has it finished. Tuesday and Thursday are lucky days to flit or change residence on. Saturday is an unlucky day to flit on. Anybody who flits on Saturday does not stay long.
