The date is May 27, 2013, and it's a Monday. Babies who are 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 2013 has finally arrived. The weather has warmed up, and the evenings are brighter than usual. The school year is nearly finished. It is Memorial Day in the United States, which means that summer has unofficially begun. In America, the song "Can't Hold Us" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis is at the top of the singles charts, while "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke is the number-one song in the UK.

Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Star Trek Into Darkness is at the top of the box office. David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
