Lore of Certain Days (continued)
“There are days of the week which are looked upon as lucky and unlucky.”

When moving to a new house you should move on a Friday. What you begin on a Friday you will never finish.
Sunday is the luckiest for setting a clutch of eggs.
Friday is very lucky for killing a pig. On Saturday you should cut a pig and salt it.
If a person is sick and improves on Sunday it is a bad sign, but is the person is bad, or if it is reported that she is dead, it is a good sign. It is unlucky to spend money on Monday.
