THIS DAY IN WW2 (10.2.1941)
In East Africa... The attacks of 4th Indian Division at Keren go on with renewed effort. The fighting is fierce over the next two days but Italian counterattacks prevent the Indian troops from making any gains. A long lull follows for the rest of the month while British commanders bring up more forces and supplies for the formal offensive which will be necessary to break the Italian positions.

From London... Churchill formally instructs Wavell to regard help for Greece as having a higher priority than exploiting the success in North Africa. He mentions the important effect on American opinion of being seen to fulfill promises to smaller nations. Colonel Bill Donovan has recently been on a tour of the Balkans on Roosevelt's behalf and is known to value the idea of fighting the Germans there. The British also hope to make a good impression on Turkey and perhaps even establish a Balkan coalition against Hitler.

TODAY IN MY LIFE
With PRONET networking group no longer a feature, a new regular Thursday routine begins today. It begins with blogging, some important client follow-up and some PR/marketing if there's time. At 0930 it's off to Shipley for Indian Head Massage class, then lunch, shopping and house-husbandry. Where Wednesday can drag if I'm not centred, Thuursday rushes relentlessly, a little too quick for my liking!

Twitter Followers = 1022 (up 4)
Yesterday the dehumidifier extracted: 1 pint = 568mls - only half that of the last two days.

TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Being centred is not sufficient in itself - there has to be CLEAR INTENT - clarity in what I'm being centred for. A narrow victory over the Dark Side yesterday made this plain to me.

TODAY'S THOUGHT
You cannot enjoy a game where the right result is a forgone conclusion.

TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Are you giving it 100% ?

TODAY'S ONELINER
Yes, that seat IS empty and mine will be too if you sit down anywhere near! : D

WHAT I ATE YESTERDAY
1 Greggs pasty, 3 chocolate bars, 2 chicken thighs, 1 packet crisps

TRIVIA
The Joshua tree is the only tree that grows in California's Mojave Desert.

TODAY'S AFFIRMATION
A new beginning!
