Days of celebration

Today being the 22nd June is a special day it's "soap as a microphone day" so hope you sang in the shower to your hearts content.  It is also the day on which we celebrate the creation of the air conditioning rocking chair.  This was invented in 1882 and the faster you rocked the more a fan went by your head.  Didn't really take off 

On a totally unrelated topic apparently the WHO put out a report this week which suggests that collectively the world is 16.5 tonnes overweight - despite the average weight for an adult being 62 kg.  that seems v light but presumably underlines that the weight spread is v uneven but overall there are more v fat than v thin
