This Day.

[Khandro]

This Day in History (30:06:)
Einstein Introduced Special Relativity (1905)
I have also discovered it's Lena Horne's 98th birthday, that cuckoos originated in the Congo (amazing!) and that 'July' once rhymed with 'truly'.
I'm going to play golf this afternoon at Freudenstadt in the Black Forest on what might be the hottest day of the year so far.
Anything else happening?

Greece defaults.... and brings down the Euro ?

[Khandro]

Yes, it could be momentous.

1ozzy had technicians crawling around the house installing cabling for high speed internet...Woo hoo!
Shame we now have to wait for the telco to connect us.
Could take a while...Sob sob.

it would be if Lena Horne was actually alive.

Hi Khandro .. Lena Hornes 98!! Wow! Happy birthday to her!
Hi lozzy .. I couldn't quite believe the sixpence had been in use since 1551!

Back from a very difficult (albeit beautiful) course and didn't score anything spectacular to add to the day's events, there's always tomorrow though.
