With it being leap year, February has the extra day added. And today is that day.
Does anybody know why February normally only has 28 days?
Why not 29 days, and take a day from a 31 day month?
I’m off sick at the mo, and I’m bored. 🥱 |  | | |  |

Nay, 7 years ago surely?! |  | | |

Napoleon decided to decimalise the whole thing.
"The French Revolutionary calendar was a calendar created and implemented during the French Revolution, and used by the French government for about 12 years from late 1793 to 1805.
The calendar consisted of twelve 30-day months, each divided into three 10-day cycles similar to weeks, plus five or six intercalary days at the end to fill out the balance of a solar year.
It was designed in part to remove all religious and royalist influences from the calendar, and it was part of a larger attempt at decimalisation in France (which also included decimal time of day, decimalisation of currency, and metrication)".
