INTERNATIONAL FALAFEL DAY
Never heard of Falafel so I looked it up - It's a chickpea dish https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/inte ... d%20sauces.

Good question for QOTM

Available in all leading supermarkets. Often money back available on GreenJinn. Delicious as a meat alternative in wraps with salad.

What is an act of light? Am I supposed to hold a torch for a neighbour? Or give a stranger a torch in case the street lights go out (here 11:30 at night)?

Chris Evans birthday (loads younger than me

Famous as Captain America but I preferred him when he did his show on Radio 2

Click on the link. I put it there to give you enlightenment.

NATIONAL RANDOM ACTS OF LIGHT DAY
Oftentimes it takes just one gentle word or small token to help overcome darkness. On June 13, National Random Acts of Light Day encourages us to bring light to the darkness of cancer by surprising someone with an act of kindness.

I used to drink in the Eagle on City Road when I worked in London.... not too many pop shops around then... though there was one opposite the Angel centre. Seems like yesterday..... realises it was 25 years ago
