THIS DAY IN WW2 (23.2.1941)
In Athens... The Greeks agree to accept a British force which at this stage is intended to be 100,000 men with suitable artillery and tank support. The Greeks are very reluctant to accept anything less since it would not be enough to fight the Germans off and would only encourage them to attack. The disposition of the British and Greek forces is also discussed. The British prefer a position along the line of the Aliakmon River but the Greeks are unwilling to give up the territory which this line does not cover. No final decision is made -- a serious omission in light of later events.
In East Africa... In Somaliland the main Italian forces defending the line of the Juba River have been defeated. General Cunningham's troops are now advancing very rapidly toward Mogadishu. There is a small Free French landing in Eritrea.
In Occupied Holland... The SS raid on the Jewish Quarter of Amsterdam is completed. About 400 Jews are arrested and deported to the concentration camp at Buchenwald in Germany.
TODAY IN MY LIFE
After a much-needed evening off, a quiet morning before the "supplementary job"

Yesterday the dehumidifier extracted: 0.7 pints = 400mls
... We seem to be getting on top of the moisture in the house!
TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Circumstances have recently forced me to confront deep fears and face them. I now see that I have to be willing to face any circumstance without flinching. I do not believe in being reckless, inflicting unnecessary suffering, but neither will I pursue safety as an objective. I will do what is right in any circumstance that comes my way.
TODAY'S THOUGHT
Daylight is the best cure for darkness
TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Are you walking how you're talking?
TODAY'S ONELINER
Avenge yourself. Live long enough to be a problem to your kids. : D

1 peanut butter/jam sandwich, 1 choc biscuit, 1 chocolate bar, 1 KFC 3-piece meal, 1 meatballs+spaghetti
TRIVIA
The only married couple to fly together in space were Jan Davis and Mark Lee, who flew aboard the Endeavor space shuttle from Sept 12-20, 1992.
