cannot change the day of the week once it's set
It's only one breakfast per month. They can propose, for instance:
The first Tuesday of every month (for 6 months).
The third Tuesday of every month
The second Wednesday of every month, etc.
It doesn't matter to Mamo which day, or which week, but once they have chosen, for instance, the last Thursday of every month, that can't be changed from month to month. It has to be the last Thursday of every one of the 6 months.
Hope this helps.

: Yes, "consistent" means same day, same week every month.

Thank you, Charles. My current translation project is a mass of inconsistent styles from multiple authors, so when I saw "consistent" I knew I had to answer this one! Like most translators, I'm a little obsessive about consistency.
