　　Monday, the second day of the week, means literally “day of the moon”. Here in Britain, it’s generally the least popular of days because for most people it means to return to school or work after the weekend break. Often this prospect is viewed with a lack of enthusiasm, a sad feeling that’s sometimes referred to as“Monday morning blues.”

　　Sometimes the blues may be caused by too much weekend drinking; and formerly if workmen over-indulged needed Monday as holiday, this was humorously known as “Keeping ST. Monday”, as Monday was hoped to be a saint’s day to be observed. Some one who can’t afford to keep ST. Monday is the housewife, for traditionally Monday was—and to some extent is棥—wash day”, the proper day for doing the laundry.

　　However, the day is not all blues and work. It has some redeeming features—that is, if you can believe folk rhymes, it’s a good day on which to be ham. “Monday’s child is fair a face,” says one traditional rhyme, while another promised optimistically that if you get married on Monday, you will be wealthy.
