I think we should celebrate the 29th February more.
They don't come around very often after all. Today is my 16th.
I've been looking through my diaries and photo archives and picking out what I was doing on each of my 16 29th February. In later years I've got photographs taken on the 29th, earlier years not so much.
1964 Saturday - Probably in Lisburn - still too young to be at school (and it was a Saturday anyway)
1968 Thursday - School day (in Lisburn)
1972 Tuesday - School day (in Lisburn)
1976 Sunday - Probably doing school homework!
1980 Friday - Probably in Bristol. Probably in a pub.
1984 Wednesday - Cross Country Skiing in Norway
1988 Monday - In Ithaca, New York
1992 Monday - Apparently in Oxford (in the FIM Lab)
1996 Saturday - Probably in Oxford
2000 Tuesday - Milton Keynes (probably in the Open University Library)
