THIS DAY IN WW2 (13.12.1940)
In North Africa... A small British force has entered Libya and now cuts the road leading west from the important Italian position at Bardia.
In Germany... Hitler issues Directive 20 giving orders for the further preparation of the invasion of Greece, Operation Marita. The German forces in Romania are accordingly increased.
In Vichy France... Petain dismisses and arrests Laval and appoints Flandin as foreign minister in his place.

TODAY IN MY LIFE
On the domestic front, Operation Natcrap (as I affectionately called it) went without a hitch and all daughter's stuff got shipped out, so she has now officially "flown the nest". Just waiting for endowment funds to land (expected by end of this week) and then a flurry of activity will ensue, picking contractors, clearing out the box room and planning holidays.

After a frankly lazy hedonistic interlude (which I enjoyed immensely!) the pace now seriously starts to pick up. Two (possibly three) clients and bags of marketing (and hopefully a spot of bookwriting) will easily fill up my day.

When someone keeps kicking the back of your chair, it's actually morse code for "I need a good slap" : D
