I'm always amazed by what I find beside the little Search Strip, at the bottom left of my laptop.
It's always some special day or other. Yesterday, for example, it was the day of the 'International Bat', which we are advised to 'appreciate'. Whether this is a Cricket Bat, Rounders Bat, or Flying Bat, we are not told.
Somewhere, someone sits at a desk making-up what 'Day' it should be. He, or she, certainly doesn't lack imagination.
They don't mention Saint's Days too much; other than St Patrick's Day. It's usually something like 'Save the Snail Day' or 'National Nail-Clipping Day'. Nothing is beyond the imagination of this anonymous adviser.
May I suggest that we have a 'Pencil Sharpening Day', or a 'National Smiling and Saying Hello Day', or even why not a 'Doing Absolutely Nothing All Day Day'.
It's become one of the highlights of my mornings, looking to see what I'm supposed to be supporting, doing, or remembering. Yesterday I was appreciating Bats, but I'm still not quite sure how I was supposed to do this; maybe I should have consulted ChatGPT for a few hints.
p.s. This morning I see that it's 'World Heritage Day'; whatever that means!

Yesterday according to my sources it was World Trifle Day. And they made very clear what sort of Trifle was meant. I would have made one but I'm still digesting Greek Easter.
Next Thursday, 23rd, is St George's Day. Another big celebration here. A big eating and drinking day for us because we know quite a few Georges and Georgias. Does England still celebrate?
local alien, Sadly St George's Day gets very little mention on tv or the radio. Most years even the BBC can't even muster the courage to even mention it for fear of upsetting other communities.
Imagine if the American networks avoided mentioning The Fourth of July. There would be a national outrage. But oh no, our National Day is downplayed, not by the people, but by the media.
They said on GB News last night that a man flying a Union flag outside his home is going to be punished with a fine of over a thousand pounds. What a state we're in now!
Here in ENGLAND, we are asked to celebrate St Patrick's Day, but anything to do with England itself is frowned upon, because they feel that it might intimidate immigrants. We live in a woke world.
Ask an American citizen NOT to fly his/her 'Stars and Stripes', and there'd be civil war. Here we have to bow down to immigrants who might feel 'intimidated'. Bloody madness!
I thought today was just Saturday!
No, no. no. It's Doris Day Day.
Om my dear Crozier! And tut-tut-tut! You don't know what World Heritage Day is? World Heritage Day, also known as the International Day for Monuments and Sites, is celebrated every year on 18 April. The day shines a spotlight on the diversity, significance, and fragility of cultural and natural heritage worldwide.
Now go out and dance Graymalkin!
YP it's another big day here. All ancient sites and museums are free. A good time to visit considering entrance prices now
