It is Monday, June 8, 2009. Anyone born today will have the star sign Gemini. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

The summer of 2009 is in full swing. The weather is warm, and the evenings are brighter than usual. Most schools and colleges are now finished until August or September. In America, the song "Boom Boom Pow" by The Black Eyed Peas is at the top of the singles charts, while "Mama Do" by Pixie Lott is the number-one song in the UK. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Up is at the top of the box office.
