THIS DAY IN WW2 (5.3.1941)
In the Mediterranean... Operation Lustre begins. British troops are convoyed from Alexandria in Egypt to Greece. (By April 2nd, a total of 58,000 troops are deployed.) Italian submarines carry out unsuccessful patrols along the convoy routes.
From London... The British government severs diplomatic relations with Bulgaria.
In Vienna... Hermann Goring meets with Romanian dictator, General Antonescu, to secure the participation of Romania in Operation Barbarossa.
In the Balkans... Italian prisoners, captured by Greek forces in Albania, report that 1500 Alpini troops were drowned in the sinking of the transport ship Liguria and that Allied bombing raids have caused heavy casualties and significant confusion behind Italian lines.
TODAY IN MY LIFE
A slightly disconcerting start to the day after encountering two rude replies to my posts, one on Facebook and the other on LinkedIn. Both contacts were deleted immediately! There really isn't any excuse to give rude replies to fair requests and posts. At least the LinkedIn guy was polite in his rejection, but just because you're not directly interested in a comment is not a reason to openly express it, unless it's daily, as you may have contacts that are interested.

Yesterday the dehumidifier extracted: 0.7 pints = 400mls
TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
I have found that there is more to mood than circumstances and the direction of thought. There is a physiological/biochemical dimension. Yesterday despite all my arsenal of techniques, I was overwhelmed by a dark mood for much of the day, which suddenly lifted after a no more than half an hour in front of the news with a cup of coffee, with no real change in my circumstances. My mind was then freed up to re-centre, but instead I have spent the time since wondering what's going on with my body chemistry!
The trouble is there are so many variables, but my main suspect right now is hydration. I will be keeping a close watch on my urine colour and seeing if there's a correlation with mood.
TODAY'S THOUGHT
If you've never offended anybody you've never said anything!
TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Is what you're saying 2/3 out of kind, true and necessary
TODAY'S ONELINER
The problem with having both a brain and a penis is there's only enough blood to run one at a time : D
WHAT I ATE YESTERDAY
1 bacon butty, one Feasters bacon/chicken/cheese melt, 2 peanut butter/jam rolls, 1 oacket of crisps, 1 large bar of chocolate - I've woken up still full! : D
TRIVIA
Often imagined as just hanging around lakes, flamingoes are great fliers - they can often travel 370 miles a day in search of food and water.
TODAY'S AFFIRMATION
I WON'T back down!
