Achmed The Dead Terrorist

William of Orange

Today's phone photo of the day, I took this morning
in Brixham (Devon). It's a statue of William of Orange
marking the Spot where he landed with his army, on
5 November 1688. Apparently many people in Brixham
still have Dutch surnames because they are direct
descendants of the soldiers in that army.
There are also Dutch street names like Overgang
and Hellevoetsluis way.

In English history, when people talk about William
of Orange they generally mean William the third
of Orange a.k.a. King Billy. In Dutch History William
the first of Orange a.k.a. William the Silent is known
as William of Orange.

Yesterday we went to see Arsenal play against Wigan.
Arsenal won 2-0.

Today was a very beautiful day. Very sunny and clear
blue skies. During my lunch-break I went for a walk
along the Thames to the Tower and back. It was much
too nice outside to get back to my stuffy office.
