- The Days of the Week
These are some of the sayings of the days of the week. If a person is sick he like's to get up on a Friday. When shifting to a new house they say its lucky to shift on a Friday.
If you plant a fruit tree on a Wednesday the fruit will be ripe on a Wednesday.
Never paper a house on a Monday or it wont be long untill you paper it again.
The borrow days are in April and the dog days in July. It is unlucky to break sticks on a Sunday. Never dig a hole on a Sunday or your grave will be dug on a Sunday. If you ever tighten bolts or screws on a Sunday you will open them with your nose in the grave.
