HAPPY LEAP YEAR DAY…..

A leap year – otherwise known as a bissextile year (which sounds infinitely more attractive) is a year containing one additional day and that day is TODAY – February 29th!!! So we have 366 days of the year this year…

So what can I do today with that spare day that I can’t do for another four years? You are allowed to do something extraordinary today – I’m thinking about either getting a tattoo or a nose piercing – as yet undecided. Girls are allowed to propose….hmmmm…..anyone I know doing that???

So what are you going to do that is so spectacular on this very special day that it can only be done every four years?

My youngest son has just lost two teeth – so this photo is relevant, although not obviously to this post:-

    I totally blew it by explaining all about Leap Year this morning to the 8 year old – because I was a day early. He went in to school and said “Happy Leap Year Day” to his friends. When they all pointed out he was a day early he was very annoyed with me for embarrassing him.

    I did!!! He said yes! Which is just as well as I’d already booked the ceremony AND a photographer. I was going to put it on ebay if he said no! xx
