THIS DAY IN WW2 (24.5.40)
On the Western Front... The German attacks on Boulogne continue. Farther along the coast they are also attacking Calais. The Royal Navy is active in support of the British forces in both towns. During the day and later in the night destroyers are used to evacuate 5000 men from Boulogne and over the next three days two light cruisers and seven destroyers are in support near Calais. There are also German attacks on the line of the Lys and around Tournai. Meanwhile, the partial halt of the main German armored forces already made by Rundstedt is confirmed by Hitler. They have reached the line Gravelines - Omer - Bethune.
In Paris... The Supreme War Council decides to end its involvement in Norway. They agree to capture Narvik and destroy the port facilities before they will evacuate. Ironically the airfield at Bardufoss has only just received its first complement of British aircraft. The Norwegians are not yet told of the decision to leave.
TODAY IN MY LIFE

TODAY'S THOUGHT
Only in absolute acceptance of the present moment can all its' opportunities be realised.
TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
I'm in the process of learning how to put my ego to sleep.
TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Are you pursuing someone else's agenda or your own?
TODAY'S ONELINER
Women might be able to fake orgasms, but men can fake a whole relationship. : D

TRIVIA
All matter ("stuff") is simply concentrated fields of energy. The perception of matter is simply an act of the mind.
TODAY'S AFFIRMATION
Today I will treat every piece of news, welcome or unwelcome, as a new opportunity.
