Hi all,
I just wanted to wish you all a “Happy Leap Year!”
Yup 2008 has a grand total of 366 days. The extra day being today, February 29th, is to compensate for the 365 days and 6 hours that the Earth takes to revolve around the sun. So every 4 years we get to have an extra day of work - booooo!
On a more quirky note February 29th is also the day that women are entitled to propose to men. Nothing as exciting as that has happened here in the office today though
Tomorrow March 1st is a day very close to my heart as it is “St. David’s Day“, so “Cymru Am Byth” to all fellow welshmen and women. I hope you have a great time.
Saint David is the patron saint of Wales, and March 1st is a national day of celebration within Wales. Check out all the details here.
Finally don’t forget that Sunday March 2nd is “Mothers Day“. So if you haven’t got your Mum a card yet - get cracking!
So there you have it, three reasons to have a great Friday, Saturday and Sunday!
Have a good weekend.
Nicola
