ABC Breakfast Announcer Emma Ayres commented on how special this August 2010 has been.
There are:
5 Sundays
5 Mondays
5 Tuesdays
And this phenomena has not occurred for 823 years!

Sunday to Sunday
August of special numbers
Odd days of our lives

I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)
