Yesterday, June 16 was Bloomsday. On June 17, 1953 there was a workers' uprising in East Berlin. Hence the naming of Straße der 17en Juni in West Berlin. On June 18, 1541 the Irish parliament selected Henry VIII as king of Ireland. On June 19, 1965 Muhammad Ali was convicted for refusing induction to the US Army. This coming Friday, June 20 is the first anniversary of this blog. Saturday, June 21 is the longest day of the year.
In terms of readership this blog is growing from strength to strength. It is read on all five continents. It is read right across the United States of America, in over 20 countries in Europe, in Australia, in Canada. And the Holy See dips in and out. It is read in 19 cities and towns in Ireland.
