Happy everything day
Today is our happy everything day, so I shan’t be stopping long. It’s Neil’s birthday, the anniversary of the day we arrived on Symi 18 years ago, and also the day we made our civil partnership here three years ago. It’s also the day Michelangelo’s David was uncovered. Poor chap, he’s remained naked ever since 1504. In 1664, today, New Amsterdam became New York, and in 1522, the Spanish navigator, Juan de Elcano returned to Spain after completing the first circumnavigation of the globe, which apparently, was started by Magellan. Also on this day in 1960, ‘Psycho’ was released, and here’s an annoying one to leave you with, in 2001, Kylie Minogue released her single, ‘I just can’t get you out of my head.’ So, with that song now stuck in mine, and probably yours, I’ll let you get on with your day.
