Burger Day (UK)
Do you fancy yourself as a burger connoisseur? Then Burger Day is your excuse to indulge and to try new flavors and experiences! Burger Day is run by a small group of burger-minded Londoners who have decided to sample, test and revel in the delights (and doubtless horrors) of London burger vendors. Why not join them and try a new burger venue, flavor or style in your city?

Just Because Day
When : August 27th
Today is Just Because Day. Finally, you have a chance to do something without a rhyme or reason. Most often in life, we do things because we have to, or we want to, or it's expected of us. None of those reasons apply today.
Is there something you'd like to do, but there isn't a reason or logic for doing it? Well, today is the day to go out and do something ""just because"". It is most enjoyable if it is an uncommon, or unexpected activity or action. Perhaps, you have something in mind. If not, just go with the first thing that comes to your mind. ""Just because"" activities often come from a ""whim"" or a ""what if I"" type of thought. We know you will quickly get the hang of this day, and have a lot of fun with it.
To get you started, here are some of our suggestions for Just Because Day :
- Take an unplanned day of vacation
- Visit someone you haven't seen in a while
- Knock on someone's door and compliment them for their great lawn
- Skip, don't walk
- Spin a wheel, and bicycle in the opposite direction of where the arrow points.
- Buy something you don't need.
- Jump in a puddle
- Walk backwards
Here is a great idea- send someone some flowers- - ""just because"". Send flowers now.

"The Duchess" Who Wasn't Day
“The Duchess” Who Wasn’t Day celebrates the life of Margaret Wolfe Hungerford, an irish novelist who was always published under the pen name “The Duchess” in the United States – also the name of her most popular novel, published in 1887. Margaret is responsible for the popular phrase “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, in her book Molly Bawn, so try and slip it into conversation!
In total, The Duchess had at least 57 works attributed to her name but could have written many, many more as a lot of her early work was published as Anonymous, and later as Mrs Hungerford, before “The Duchess” became popular in the States. She also wrote many newspaper articles and had a large family – four daughters and two sons.
Born on the 27th April 1855 in County Cork, she won prizes in school for writing stories. After the death of her first husband in 1876 The Duchess took to writing more seriously to support her three daughters, and it was shortly after this that her first book “Phyllis” was written, and a little later on “Molly Bawn”.
She remarried in 1882, had two sons and a daughter with her second husband and eventually died of typhoid fever in 1897.
