Just noticed it’s a leap year, gosh. Was looking at dates next week and saw that Thursday is the 29th. I guess unless your birthday is on the 29th February it isn’t something you pay particular attention to until it happens and then everyone notices and makes comments about how so and so is now eight years old etc.
The only real effect is if you get paid on the last Thursday of the month, in which case this year you have to wait another week. Had February ended on Wednesday 28th then payday would have been today. Bet the boffs never thought about such real world practical implications when coming up with the idea. They were more focused on bigger, higher level and infinitely more philosophical issues such as time itself. Quite liked using the term boffs there – not heard it for a while 🙂
Absolutely bucketing it down here and have determined to wear my Tilley hat when travelling to London later this morning. It’s not quite as bad as if someone was holding a bucket of water overhead and tipping it all over you but might just as well be.

Been sat in a virtual meeting room for the last fifteen minutes wondering where on earth the other guys was. Turned out I’d forgotten to invite him! Doh!! Mind you he isn’t responding to whatsapp messages so no idea where he is. Probably nipped outside for a smoke and left his phone in the office.
