- In the district where I live there are certain days of the week looked upon as being unlucky. It is thought unlucky to remove into a new house on Mondays or Fridays. It is also thought unlucky to meet the sick on these days. The old people thought to start planting the potatoes on Good Friday. The cold days of early April are referred to as the "Days of the old cow". When the long Winter was passed and the cold days of March gone the "Old Cow" was happy and cocked her tail but March borrowed ten days from April and the old cow was skinned.
