Birthday of the day:
27th April 1959
Sheena (Shirley Orr) Easton
in Glasgow Scotland
I remember in 1980, seeing a British television documentary
of a young singer from Scotland. She was young, sweat and had a great voice;
destined for a great career. After seeing the documentary I forgot
about her until the song „9 to 5“, reached the European charts in 1981.
Her best song ,until now was a country song, a duet
with Kenny Rogers „We’ve Got Tonight“
Died on this day:
27th April 1988
David Scarboro
Sadly commited suicide at twenty, from Beachy Head, East Sussex, England
Born 3rd February 1968 in London, England
In 1985 he played the part of Mark Fowler in the „EastEnders“,
but was written out of the series when he refused to play the part of a racist.
He then withdrew himself from public appearances until the British tabloid
started printing inaccurate stories of his life. In April 1988 he jumped from
Beachy Head.
Another proud press achievement!

Cycle ride of the day:
That was a ride, great!
Another week and I’ll have reduced my weight enough to
sail on my racer. I’m not going on it before I weigh under one-hundred kilos!
Hope it won’t be an anti-climax.
During the winter I gained more than ten kilos, I’ve
lost three unto now, another five will be perfect; then I‘ll be down to
ninety-five.
Fraser, how about it? Want to take on a challenge, which of us
two can lose five kilos the fastest?
Bye, more again tomorrow. Have a nice day :-)
