THIS DAY IN WW2 (10.1.1941)
In the Mediterranean... Off Pantelleria a British convoy is attacked, first by two Italian torpedo boats, one of which is sunk for no loss to the convoy, and then by 40 German Stuka and Ju88 bombers. The carrier Illustrious is hit six times by dive bombers. Warspite dodges several attacks but other ships are also damaged. This is the first action by the German 10th Air Corps. Illustrious retires to Malta. All the British forces from Gibraltar and Alexandria have been out covering convoys for Greece and Malta. More troops and 18 fighters are brought to Malta. The British destroyer Gallant is sunk after striking an Italian mine in the Sicilian Channel
In Washington... The Lend-Lease Bill is introduced to Congress. There is considerable opposition. Among the prominent opponents of the bill are Senators Wheeler and Nye, former Ambassador Kennedy and Charles Lindbergh.
In Moscow and Berlin... Soviet-German pacts on frontiers in Eastern Europe and on trade are signed. Food and raw materials are to be exchanged for industrial equipment.
In Albania... The Greek forces take Klisura after the four Italian divisions in the area are pulled back.
TODAY IN MY LIFE
Back to it with a vengeance - EXTREMELY busy today with four clients booked - the most I can confortably see in a day. The FIT FOR PURPOSE scheme has proved popular!

TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
A somewhat cranky start after a series of minor frustrations, but I have come to accept the fact that I can be wound up. I now know what to do about it and it dissipates rapidly.
TODAY'S THOUGHT
Absolute perfection is very boring - nothing ever happens.
TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
What are you going to do today to develop yourself?
TODAY'S ONELINER
To make holy water, take ordinary water and boil the hell out of it : D

TRIVIA
The tongue is the only muscle in the body only attached at one end. And just in case you were wondering, a penis is made of spongy erectile tissue and is not a muscle. It depends on blood under pressure rather than muscle fibres to be rigid
TODAY'S AFFIRMATION
All the necessary tools are at hand!
