D Day



6 June

Henceforth Saturday will not be called Lieinday here in Jaronland. This change has come about because there are no workers hammering and banging on the outside of our building. We have peace for two days.

Peace is something that on this day in 1944 was a long way off still. The peace that finally came was begun on the beaches of Normandy; peace that cost a large number of casualties among the worlds’ fighting men storming ashore, thereby marking the start in getting rid Hitler and his band of thugs. Of course it would be over a year before the final peace deal was signed by Japan. Sadly though, real peace has not happened. I wonder how many wars there has been since 1945?

The plan for today was go off into town on our scooters, and when we got up it still stood; then we when I saw the high winds outside I decided against it. Jan is going out later though, she has a new pair of shoes to collect from Midland & Lifestyle (http://www.mobilityandlifestyle.co.uk/), but will go in the car instead. She has a few other bits to do as well, so it makes sense really. I shall sit and watch The Longest Day, for umpteenth time.

I just got caught out again. King’s Doctor Sleep mentioned a different version of Google Earth, called Twirl 360. Before you go racing off to look at it, don’t bother, it doesn’t seem to cover the UK. I tried looking at Dorktown and it ended up in central Europe somewhere. I’ll stick to Google Earth thank you Mr King!

Today’s photo then …

The Dorktown Hussy.

Today’s funny …

What's the difference between a supermarket trolley and a politician? You can get more food and drink into a politician.
