 |   The simplicity of my day to day. |
| PROMPT July 8th What historical events, besides your own birth, occurred on your birthday in the year you were born? This was the first time I ever googled my own birthdate and July 19 th is quite disappointing really. July 19th 1944 was a pretty boring day news wise, but In 1969 Apollo 11 went into orbit around the moon. That’s significant but not as great as the day man first landed on the moon. I remember it so well. I still have a copy of the Daily Mirror with the headline screaming out MAN LANDS ON THE MOON! The only other item of news I found interesting on July 19th was Adolf Hitler ordered Britain to surrender in 1940. Thank goodness Winston Churchill didn’t cave in to him. I don’t think I would be here writing this blog. The course of history would have changed forever. My father was fighting in the war in 1940, what would have happened to him if Hitler had successfully managed to defeat England? I don’t think I would even have been born.  |
