    Share Share Post
    Wednesday is supposed to be the lucky day of the week and Saturday is the unluckiest, The thyme says,
    Monday for health,
    Tuesday for wealth
    Wednesday is the best day of all,Thursday for losses,
    Friday for crosses, and Saturday is no day at all.
    Friday is a lucky day on which to begin ploughing.
    People do not like changing from house to house on Saturday, because it is said, that Saturday's flitting is a short sitting.
    March 17 is considered the correct date on which potatoes should be planted.
