Friday the Thirteenth
The belief that Friday 13th is an especially unlucky day is one of the widest-known superstitions in Britain today, and is erroneously assumed to be of great antiquity. The notion that thirteen is a generally unlucky number has not been found earlier than 1852, and although Fridays have been regarded as unlucky since medieval times, it is quite certain that the fear of Friday 13th is a Victorian invention. The first definite reference to Friday 13th is from 1913…
I have been rather busy these last few days. On Wednesday, I was called into school for a few extra English lessons. My teacher was really worried that we may not cover all the work before the examination in two months. We spent four hours talking about character assessment, and the importance of social occasions within Jane Austen’s novels.
Then Margaret, my care worker visited. I have not seen her for a while as she was allocated a work placement, working alongside a social worker. We spent the afternoon cooking. I made homemade meatballs with fresh tomato sauce, followed by fresh fruit salad with jelly and custard. Yummy!!
I don’t know when I will be able to write another entry. I have been having yet more trouble with my Internet connection. The same problem I’ve mentioned previously. Sometimes I can sign on, sometimes I can’t, it’s very temperamental and it’s annoying!!
I have been on the phone to AOL, who said my broadband connection and phone line are fine. The problem is either caused by my wireless router or Sky box. I don’t understand why this is happening now and so frequently. It was working fine until two weeks ago. I just don’t understand it!!
I hope you are all well, and (disregarding the date) have a wonderful day.
Until the next post,
