Bastille Day

Bastille Day is the common name given in English-speaking countries to the national day of France, which is celebrated on 14 July each year. In French, it is called the Fête nationale française; legally it is known as le 14 juillet.

On 14 July 1789, as social and political tensions rose across France, protesters took to the Parisian streets to express their opposition to their King and Queen. The mob grew in size and went on to attack the Bastille, a royal fortress and prison, leading to the eventual collapse of the monarchy.

This year’s celebrations will reach fever pitch as the Olympic torch arrives in the capital to great fanfare.

Today's Name Day: Folke

    Not a good day for me.  I got no sleep at all last night.  No idea why.  I had no cola type drink that keeps me awake.  I give up.  I finally got up 6am being tired of the bed.  Cinder went out then while it was still cool.  Got her back in at 11am before the heat hit.

    Cinder stayed in bed with me after lunch.  Not a good sleep.  No comfy position.  And my hip has started hurting again.  Time to get my heating. pad out.  Kisse stayed close also.  She layed in the window soaking up the sun rays.

    Horrid weather today.  My AC just cannot keep up.  House was in the upper 70s.  Outside I saw 104F.  Good grief!!  

    I was in no mood for supper but I have to eat to take my insulin.  Nothing tasted good.  The minute I get close to my fridge, Cinder is right next to me.  She loves my lunch meat.  I have to hand feed her one slice.  Spoiled kitty!!!  Must eat better tomorrow.

    Cinder has begged to go outside.  Nope.  Too hot.  When it got down to 92F, I let her out.  Feels awful.

    Strange weather last night.  I had several hours of lots of lightning & thunder.  Not even a hint of rain.  Huh???  Why not???  Stupid weather.

    Been texting with my friend AA.  He is in the hospital in Kansas City.  We are watching soccer "together" but miles apart.  I had it on in English but that does not sound right.  I switched it to Spanish.  I can pick out a word or two.  I like how it sounds.  Match between Columbia & Argentina.  Super late in starting.  People rushing to get in causing a dangerous situation.  Championship match.  The one announcer on is one I have hated for many years.  He was part of soccer on TV years ago when we barely had a national team.  One that our college could have beaten easily.  He is awful.  No score yet.

    Not had many texts today.  Mostly from AA.  Wish he was home so I could go to his house to watch soccer.   He was the best soccer player & captain of our team at the college.  And he cared about his team & players.  Those were good times.

    Photos are sort of have a pink theme.  Only took the collage photos.
