1. Debbie Reynolds was born on this day in 1932 - have you ever seen any of her movies or TV shows? Do you have a favourite?
The only movie of hers that I can recall is "Singing In The Rain." I have enjoyed watching it, but it has been a long time since I saw it. I remember thinking that she was very funny as Grace's mother on "Will and Grace."
2. National Ferret Day - ferrets are often kept as pets, do you know anyone who has one? Would you keep a ferret?
3. International Children's Book Day - do you have fond memories of a particular book you read as a child?
4. It's all about walking today - do you often walk either for leisure or to get from one place to another rather than taking a car/public transport/bike? Do you live in an area with trails where you can go walking?
5. Is it raining? When was the last time you had rain in your area. Is there a lack of rain that's causing concern?
6. Clas Thunberg, a Finnish speed skater known for winning five Olympic gold medals was born today in 1893. Can you skate?
7. William Wordsworth was born in 1770 and is probably best known for his poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" which mentions "A host, of golden daffodils'. Are there daffodils flowering where you live (were they early, or are they late)?
8. Pablo Picasso died on this day in 1973 at the age of 91. Have you ever seen a Picasso artwork in real life?
9. National Cherish an Antique Day - a day to find out about anything you've got that has been passed down through the family. Or maybe you've bought something that you will pass down? Do you have any antiques?
10. World Homeopathy Day - a day to raise awareness of Homeopathy. Do you believe it has a place in modern medicine?
11. Have you ever had a cheese fondue - did you make it yourself, have it at a restaurant or at a friend's place? Did you like it?
12. Created in 1996 - The Day of Silence was created to support LGBTQ youth who were consistently silenced and ignored by parents and administrators. Yearly, millions participate by staying silent for the duration of their day - communicating only with the written word, representing the silencing of LGBTQ students. Have you ever participated in this?
13. International Plant Appreciation Day. Do you have houseplants? Do they thrive?
14. A day to look up at the sky - do you have many planes flying over your home? Is it noisy or can you live with it?
15. It's World Art Day, and also the birthday of Leonardo da Vinci (1452) - do you have a favourite artist or sculpture whose work you would love to own?
16. Wilbur Wright the American aviator was born in 1867. Do you like flying by plane? Have you ever flown First Class?
17. It's National Haiku Day - can you write a Haiku?
18. People often say they have a favourite smell - cut grass, fresh bread baking, an old-fashioned rose. What would your favourite aroma be? Are there some smells that spark a memory?
19. National Garlic Day - is garlic something you love? Have you a favourite way of using it?
20. Richard Hoffmann, Austrian violinist and composer was born today in 1925 - have you ever played a stringed instrument?
21. It's National Tea Day - there are so many different types of tea, but have you ever had bubble tea, or do you stick with a traditional type?
22. The theme of Earth Day this year is a 60% reduction in the production of plastic and a reduction in the use of plastics, and plastic waste by 2040. Do you try to avoid plastic waste? Is it easy where you live, or are you struggling to avoid plastic/plastic waste?
23. It's the UN Spanish Language Day - can you speak any Spanish? Did you learn Spanish at school?
24. At what age did you learn to drive? Did you learn to use a manual (stick shift) or an automatic car? If you own a car, how old is it?
25. It's World Penguin Day celebrating the great North migration of penguins - can you find and post a penguin picture (illustration or photo).
26. Have you ever eaten chocolate-covered pretzels? Do you like large soft pretzels? Have you ever made pretzels? It's National Pretzel Day.
