Last Tuesday ,I came across an old lady[looking a bit disorientated] in the street who asked me "Is today a Sunday ,I need to go to church?"
I said to her "Its a Tuesday" This set me thinking about "phases of the moon","364.25 days for Earth to orbit Sun", 52 weeks made up of 7 days etc etc. and to the question about a reference point in time ,before starting the calendar , when humans decided "We will call today a Saturday[ worship on the Sabbath] ,next day Sunday[worship of the Sun god]"
