[monday, monday] can't trust that day

It's Weather Market Monday

As you know, Monday comes from Mani (Old English Mona), the Germanic Moon god. Similarly, the names in Latin-based languages such as the Italian name (Lunedi), the French name (lundi), the Spanish name (Lunes), and the Romanian name (Luni) come from the Latin name for Moon, luna.

The Russian word, eschewing pagan names, is понедельник (poniediélnik), meaning "after Sunday." The Hindi word for Monday is Somvar, with Som being the Sanskrit name for the moon. The Japanese word for Monday is getsuyōbi (月曜日) which means day of the moon.

Part of the Monday Club's agenda stresses support for what it claims are "traditional Conservative values", including "resistance to 'political correctness'". Most traditionalists who left or lapsed after 1992 have been refused re-entry to the Club and even to its occasional meetings. The current club chairman is Lord Sudeley.

Black Monday is the name given to Monday, October 19, 1987, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) dropped dramatically, and on which similar enormous drops occurred across the world.

Every other day, every other day, every other day of the week is fine, yeah; but whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes you'll find me cryin' all of the time. [Mamas and the Papas]

Personally, I'd like to see the negative aspects of the day reversed and that's why my nicest clients and nicest girls are in the second half of Monday, leaving the first half for all those jobs we promise ourselves we'll do but never do. That's why I call it "Do Day". It's a day I do, at my own pace.

Have a lovely Monday.
