1st October - What today is famous for (or infamous) : updated

October 1 is the 274th day of the year (275th leap year) in the Gregorian Calendar. There are 91 days remaining until the end of the year.

On this day :
959 - Edgar the Peaceable becomes king of all England.
1189 - Gerard de Ridefort, grandmaster of the Knights Templar died
1880 - John Philip Sousa becomes leader of the United States Marine Corps Band.
1880 - First electric lamp factory opened by Thomas Edison.
1908 - Ford puts the Model T car on the market at a price of US$825.
1982 - Sony launches the first consumer compact disc player (model CDP-101).

The point of this post :

2008 - SOH has made me a very happy lady :-) by asking me to marry him - and of course I said yes. Love you very much Boss xx xx



ps - to answer some of your questions, no we haven't set a wedding date yet. I think SOH ought to choose a date as I would like to get married in Cornwall as the majority of family would be able to come; when we have a date we will let you know.
