July days

This year the month of July has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays which happens once every 823 years. This is called money bags based on the Chinese philosophy of feng shui. Old traditions / superstitions mean something. On IOM a red haired woman seen by a fisherman before he went out on his boat meant bad luck & a poor catch that day ! I also remember a yarn about a fisherman & whistling but cannot remember what it was? As children on the farm we never said the word 'rat' - we always called it ' a long tail / fella'
