THIS DAY IN WW2 (27.5.40)
On the Western Front... The German armour resumes its attacks, trying to cut off the British and French forces around Lille. A desperate defence enables most of them to get away to positions nearer the coast. Belgian resistance along the coast is becoming increasingly weak. In the Dunkirk evacuation, only a little is achieved with less than 8000 men being landed in Britain.

In Norway... The Allied assault on Narvik gets under way. The attacking troops are led by the French General Bethouart. The town is taken after a brisk fight. When bad weather at the Bardufoss airfield grounds the Allied fighters, the attack is briefly held up because the ships providing bombardment support have to fight off the Stukas without air support.

TODAY IN MY LIFE
The absence of engagements allowed shopping to be done in the morning, spending the rest of the day online and seminar scripting, with a break at tea-time.

TODAY'S THOUGHT
When no one is asking you, keep all the answers to yourself.

TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Anger and hate are like heroin - so easy to embrace, empowering and defending, but if I do this there will be nothing else.

TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Have you expressed gratitude today?

TODAY'S ONELINER

TRIVIA
Sticking needles in effigies is not a part of Voodoo - it comes from Black Witchcraft.
