    The Lore of Certain Days
    People say you can only get the cure for the running-worm on Mondays and Thursdays.
    Some people are loth to begin ploughing on any days except on Mondays or on Wednesdays.
    Saturday is said to be an unlucky day for changing from one house to another.
    Potatoes should be planted before the 16th of April and not later than the 1st of May.
    It is also said that March borrowed three days from April to skin the "Old Bow".
