The to_char() function pads the weekday names with spaces, as you can 
see with this query:

postgres=# select *, 'X' || to_char(some_date, 'day')::text || 'X' from 
postgres_report_bug limit 5;
  id |       some_date        |  ?column?

   5 | 2019-11-11 04:00:00+02 | Xmonday   X
(5 rows)

You can use 'FMday' instead of 'day' to avoid that.
