Wednesday 2nd July, 2025

Everyone knows about the Fourth of July, but did you know it was Canada’s national day YESTERDAY – the first on July. Canadians are people too.

I did know that, but I’ve just looked up a list of national days and I did NOT realise that 1st July is also celebrated as the national day in Burundi, Somalia and Rwanda.

Looking further down the list, I see the Philippines’ Independence Day is on the fourth of July, just like the Americans. And who do they celebrate their independence from? From the USA.

That’s good – I’ll be using that.

Music Round clue for tonight at Brass Monkey Shore:

This is the greatest record ever made. It’s by Enya and It’s in the music round tonight at the Brass Monkey Shore. I know some people hate this record but I loved it so much when it came out in the late 80s (I was about 15 or 16) that it made me want to find and marry a woman who looked like Enya. This still kind of lingered by by the time I got to University a few years later, at which point a flatmate of mine started going out with a woman who not only looked exactly like Enya but was also Irish. However she was a bit of a pain in the arse and this finally cured me of wanting to go out with women based on which pop stars they looked like.
