Battle of Britain Day


On this day 75 years ago, the Luftwaffe launched its largest and most concentrated attack against London in the hope of drawing out the RAF into a battle of annihilation.

Around 1,500 aircraft took part in the air battles which lasted until dusk. The action was the climax of the Battle of Britain. RAF Fighter Command defeated the German raids.

The Luftwaffe formations were dispersed by a large cloud base and failed to inflict severe damage on the city of London. In the aftermath of the raid, Hitler postponed Operation Sea Lion.

Happy Lunar New Year

A very Happy Lunar New Year!

Today marks the year of the sheep or goat or even ram (depending on your translation).

The Chinese word yáng refers both to goats and sheep, with shānyáng specifically goats and miányáng sheep. In English, the sign may be called either. The interpretation of sheep or goat depends on culture.In Vietnamese, the sign is mui, which is unambiguously goat. In Japan, on the other hand, the sign is hitsuji, sheep; while in Korea and Mongolia the sign is also sheep or ram.

The sheep is an auspicious animal, and the Year of the Sheep, therefore, heralds a year of promise and prosperity.

The Joy of Windows

How kind of Microsoft to be forever tinkering with their current releases of Windows, by downloading regular updates onto my pcs that slow them down.
