- Some people say that Wednesday is a very unlucky day to be married and others say it is a very lucky day. It is said that Saturday is the most unlucky to get married or to start building a house.
Some people think that Tuesday is a very unlucky day to start ploughing. If you are going on a journey and see one magpie you will have misfortune before you end your journey. But if you see two magpies you will meet with good fortune.- Collector
