Is that when they wash their trews? |
The Shire calendar is arranged so that the dates are on the same day of the week every year, so 2 Rethe will always be on Highday. To do this there is one (or two in leap years) days that are not on any day of the week. This means that it is impossible for it to keep in step with our continuous procession of 7-day weeks. Thus, the dates given for the calendar are those of the equivalent date in our calendar, but not the day of the week. (Hope that makes sense).
Not sure why it is called Trewsday. I will go and check.
