A Leaping Day

Because today is February 29 i decided, i must note down my this day as this is a date that occurs only every four years. Who knows where & what i will be doing next February 29.
This is a day known as bissextile day or Leap Day as more commonly known.

Here are some little facts about Leap Day to share with you peps:

In the old old olden days when rules of courtship were stricter, women were only allowed to propose marriage to a man one day every four years. That day was February 29.

In Greece, there is a Greek superstition that alleges couples will have bad destiny if they marry during a leap year. Rumor has it that one in five engaged couples in Greece will steer clear of preparing their nuptials during a leap year.

According to Wikipedia, a leap day is more likely to fall on a Monday than on a Sunday. This is because the Gregorian calendar repeats itself every 400 years, which is exactly 20871 weeks including 97 leap days.

In France, there is a humorous periodical French newspaper called La Bougie du Sapeur (The Sapper's Candle) which published every February 29 since 1980. This year’s issue will be the eighth issue.

I spent my Leap Day basically just working… just another normal working day. No. It’s a damn busy working day as today is the print date of my publication. & so as usual, there was the usual mad rush for the dateline. Mad rush of getting approvals from advertisers, mad rush of getting materials from advertiser & bringing it back to my designer, mad rush of checking through the ozalid & colour proof & mad rush of preparing & sending all those proposals. Knock off at nearly 7pm. Tired. Drained. Only the large piece of choc-banana birthday cake for Frank served as a sweet treat for my Leap Day.
