World Stationery Day! - 18 May 2022


Yes, today is World Stationery Day, please no moving celebrations today.


Today also is the anniversary of Napoleon Bonaparte's appointment as Emperor of the French. I hadn't known he was Emperor of the French, rather than of France. One supposes that would imply his imperial control of French folk everywhere, much as the King of Belgium isn't really the King of Belgium - he's the King of the Belgians. Again a distinction that may imply a difference. These monarchs bear watching.

Cheers!
