A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM

9th May - Europe Day

On Saturday 9 May 2015, the EU institutions in Brussels will open their doors to the public to mark Europe Day, the anniversary of the Schuman Declaration.

This year's visual for Europe Day and the Open Doors Day of the European institutions is composed from elements of the 28 flags of the European Union member states. They were separated into pieces and re-assembled into characters with the help of 6-8 year old children in schools in Paris and Brussels.

The series of figures resulting from their creativity, in all shapes, colours and sizes, represent the EU’s diversity, not only within the European Union, but also far beyond, as citizens of the world. In the context of the European Year for Development, this year’s visual for Europe Day symbolises how united we can be in our diversity and highlights the important role played by the European Union in supporting and funding of Development projects in poorer regions of the world.

It's a girl!

A NEW PRINCESS WAS BORN                 2nd May 2015

The princess is the first to be born into the British monarchy in 25 years. The last was Prince Andrew's daughter Princess Eugenie in 1990.

She made her first public appearance at 6.12pm, before leaving for home with her family.

30th April is... Honesty Day!

Honesty Day is all about telling the truth. Be brave and share opinions, thoughts and perspectives that might otherwise go unsaid in order to be polite – but take care not to upset or offend others.


A little bit of humour...

A song about it:

7th April 2015 is ...

The laundry will be just fine in the basket until tomorrow.

You’ve got enough plates to leave the washing up until the morning, just this once.

No Housework Day is the one day a year you can just relax, forget those daily chores and do absolutely anything else instead. It’s a chance to indulge yourself with no guilt, no stress and no dusting.

You could celebrate it a little differently; if you’re not the person who normally does the housework, why not take over just for today to give them a break? Or if you have a neighbour who’s not as young as they were, how about offering to help out with chores this No Housework Day?

However you choose to celebrate, don’t forget to sit back and raise a (presumably dirty) glass to the kind soul who invented it!
