Today is hubby's birthday. Luckily although we won't be able to celebrate today due to being on different ships either side of the North Sea, I was able to speak to him just after midnight. He had just finished loading his cargo about 8 miles east of us.
Anyway we'll be home on Wednesday so plenty of time celebrate then.
So he was born in 1949, what else was going on then?
- Siam renamed itself Thailand
- Los Angeles, California received its first recorded snowfall
- rationing of clothes ended in Britain
- Eire left the British Commonwealth and became the Republic of Ireland.
- George Orwells book 1984 was published
The average price of a house in 1949 was £1911
Other famous people born in 1949 include
Dennis Taylor ( snooker player)
Niki Lauder ( racing driver)
Billy Joel ( singer)
Meryl Streep ( actress)
Twiggy ( model )
Bruce Springsteen ( singer)
Arsene Wenger ( football manager)
Happy Birthday!!
Happy Belated Birthday to Husband.
