Perhaps the most significant of the days of the year that we’ve noted so far - today is Spouses Day.
Dedicated to recognizing spouses, significant others, and partners, today reminds us to take time for our mate. From being thankful for the fulfillment and security of a long-term relationship to the boost of morale and well-being provided by those we share our lives with, there are many reasons to celebrate. This day is a time to show your spouse that you care and appreciate all of the things that they do for you, for the family, and for your home.
Today is not about giving gifts but rather spending time together, enjoying each others company, and simply expressing appreciating for each other.
And while the term “spouse” traditionally refers to a marriage partner, Spouses Day is for all. Whether yours is an official marriage, a common-law marriage, a domestic partnership, a civil union, or simply a long term commitment, acknowledge the significance of your partner.
Spend some quality time with your partner. Maybe take the day off and surprise them with a picnic - even indoors if the weather is kak. Take care of all their errands and chores. Make their favorite foods and treats. Whatever you do, make sure you tell them that you appreciate everything they do for you.
Be good to those around you, and have a great day!

It’s not just any old Cake Day. It’s the king of cake’s day, the boss of cakes day, the capo dei capi of cakes day. It’s Chocolate Cake Day.
Chocolate cake has been with us just over 150 years, having first come on the scene in 1764, when it was discovered that grinding cocoa beans between heavy stones produced cocoa powder, which could then become chocolate.
60 years would pass before Conrad Van Houten discovered a method by which he could mechanically extract fat from the cacao liquor which produced cacao butter. Long story short, this man is the reason that chocolate is actually affordable, and we all have him to thank for it!
The first verifiable recipe for chocolate cake appeared in Eliza Leslie’s 1847 cookbook. The actual formula, however, wasn’t quite what we’d recognize as a chocolate cake today. Leslie’s recipe called for chopped pieces of chocolate inserted into a plain sponge, instead of adding cocoa powder to the mix itself.
Have a wonderful chocolate cake filled day!

Classic! I actually met them when they toured SA in 1993. They stayed at the Carlton for a week. I was the Front Office Manager at the time and my then fiancée was the VIP Guest Relations Manager, so we got to spend a fair bit of time with them. Really nice guys. And their entire crew were too. I still have an autographed World Where We Live CD somewhere.

On January 28, 1958, the original LEGO brick system patent was filed by Godtfred Kirk Christiansen, a Dane whose father founded the LEGO company. The company originally manufactured wooden toys and was named after the Danish saying “leg godt” meaning “play well.”
63 years and more than 400-billion bricks later, the plastic bricks synonymous with childhood (and later childhood too!) have helped build the Lego Group into a multi-billion dollar organization with one of the strongest and most recognizable brands on the planet.
Celebrate Lego Day with a little random building spree if you have some bricks, or finish that complicated Lego Set that you’ve been putting off for so long, or spend some quality time playing with the kids and “their” Lego.
If you don’t have Lego that you can call your own, there are a number of Lego-themed movies and a large number of Lego games and franchise collaborations for you to while away this Lego Day. So yeah, no excuses.
(And for the love of all that is special about Lego, please don’t be American and refer to them as “legos”. There is no plural for Lego. You “play with my Lego” regardless of how many bricks and elements you have. You don’t “go play with my Legos” in the same way that a Kiwi doesn’t “go play with my sheeps”. )
Have a casually constructive day!

Agreed, but still, judging by the bloke in the background blocking his ears, the jogger is probably still screaming like an injured kitten
