Just a Heads Up...

It's already Friday 13th Down Under and in the Far East, and it's coming to the rest of us within hours! Very Happy

A friend of my mum's is going on a Mediterranean cruise, sailing today. What, said I, sailing on Friday the thirteenth? Is the captain mad? Laughing

But it seems that in these days of satellite navigational aids and adequate lifeboats there's no room for old-style seagoing superstitions. Wink

There's always norwalk, of course. Shocked

Actually, I have recently come across another date associated with dire misfortune, 28th December.

Following an accident (on the aforesaid date Shocked ) I have had to take things easy (permanantly so) and to keep myself occupied I read a lot.

The 28th Dec is cursed as it is the date of the Massacre of the Innocents and in the past there was a deep reluctance to start any venture, journey or enterprise on that day.

On the plus side it is only one day a year!

Does anyone else know of this dates cursed nature or if there are any stories surrounding it?

Well this proved to be a slightly unlucky Friday the 13th back in 1955...

I find this rather unsettling! I was walking on Swanage beach on Monday this week, because it was such a bright sunny day!
