It's Letter Number 14 of the Alphabet
Welcome to N
Do you have any superstitions? I don't, except one, which I can attribute to my Grandmother who said it was very bad luck to cut your nails on a Friday or a Sunday. She had ignored this superstition once (on a Sunday) and the result was immediate disaster. An axe cutting into my uncle's leg, one snip of her finger nail and a cry coming from the bottom of the orchard. She was a great storyteller so this is a very much a synopsis but her tale was impressionably dramatic to a young mind and has stayed with me. As the old rhyme says:
So cut your nails on a Wednesday for news, or alternatively visit the other contributors to ABC Wednesday where there will be news and views from all over the world.Cut them on a Monday, you cut them for health;
Cut them on Tuesday, you cut them for wealth;
Cut them on Wednesday, you cut them for news;
Cut them on Thursday, a new pair of shoes;
Cut them on Friday, you cut them for sorrow;
Cut them on Saturday, you see your true love tomorrow;
Cut them on Sunday, your safety seek,
The devil will have you the rest of the week.
