Take a leap.....it's a free day!*
Friday 29th February. A day like no other....for another four years anyway.
Technically, that's a free day. A bonus. A gift. Not often you get that now is it?
So why not use this 'free'(**) day to take a leap on the leap year, and do something you wouldn't normally do?
- Tell someone you love them.
- Tell someone you hate them.
- Tell someone you love and hate them.
- Wrestle a bear.
- Race a pair of otters.
- Ride a badger.
- Perfect that mime of the french revolution you've been working on.
- Have a drink with that friend you've not seen in a while.
- Do your hair.
- Create a cocktail.
- Do something nice for someone.
Or whatever floats your boat.
The point is, it's day that only comes around every four years, so embrace it. Let loose the shackles of work, cut through those chains of conformity, and, to paraphrase the sorely missed childrens tv show from my summer holidays, 'Why don't you....just make the most of a free day'
*Admittedly, this was inspired by a Frasier episode, but I won't tell if you don't.
** And before the geeks moan, I know it's not a free day and that it's the culmination of 'forgetting' about those pesky quarter days that would normally make the calendar look all messy and cause problems for people who struggle with fractions.

It's my aunt's 60th tomorrow - which means she's actually only going to be 15. Very odd.
