- "Never change your hearth stone" "Never build to the west." Never begin a work on a Friday or Saturday. Potatoes should be planted before "Paddy's Day"."Friday cut hair
Sunday cut Iron (nails)
Better that man
Never were born."A baby's nails should never be cut but biten off as they never grow if cut."Monday's bearing is fair of face
Tuesday's bearing is a child of grace.
Wednesday's bearing is a child of woe.
Thursday's bearing has far to go.
Friday's bearing is loving and giving
Saturday's bearing works hard for its living
Sunday's bearing is bonny and happy and bright and gay"
(said of children born on certain days of the week)
If a stranger comes on Monday one will come on every other day of that week. Fowl or animals should not be killed on a Friday.
