    Cure for warts: Nine Tuesdays. Friday is a lucky day for removals. In the townland of Rabbit Park the chosen day for starting to plough is on a Friday. The Cross days in Ireland are Whit week. On whit week in England there is no blood spilt the meaning is there are no cattle killed. The day following St Patrick's day is the proper day to sow oats. The middle of July is the time to sow plants (seed). Here is an old saying connected with removals "Mondays flitting makes a short sitting"
    "Fridays flitting makes a long sitting"
