I'm not going to mention that it's the 25th of May.... *snicker*


Erm?...

According to Robert Chambers's _Book of Days_ it's the anniversary
of the outbreak of the Marseilles Plague of 1720 and was formerly
"Flitting-Day" in Scotland (the day when people preferred to move
house). Unless you have a thing about St Adhelm of Sherburn, whose
day it is, what else is special about it?
