    “The people say it is very lucky to start ploughing on a Monday.”

    The people say it is very lucky to start ploughing on a Monday. They say if you start doing any thing on any other day of the week but Monday that you will never finish it.
    They start sowing potatoes on Friday as they say it is very lucky.
    They say it is very lucky to keep some potatoes over until Good Friday.
