Previous reports: None
Celebrity birthdays: Joan Jett (1960), Bilbo and Frodo Baggins (unsp.)
Historical events: The last street market is held in Watford (1928), The Who began a short tour in Scandinavia. Roger Daltry punched Keith Moon.(1965).
Saint of the day: St Maurice, a Third Century foot soldier murdered along with the rest of his Roman legion for refusing to kill innocent Christians, isn't all that interesting. However, he is invoked against cramps, which might come in useful if you're squashed in the back of a car all the way to Crewe.
