Had to dash out for birthday cards. I wonder how many other families have such a number with birthdays on the same date? My father's birthday was 1st March (though he may actually have been born on 29th February just a few minutes before midnight). My niece was born on March 1st, and her own eldest daughter was born on, yes, March 1st. Last year my cousin's grandson arrived to add to the numbers. My brother got it slightly wrong, his birthday is 28th February! My schooldays best friend shares my brother's birthday, and my daughter's godson is another 1st Marcher. My father always said he felt he should have been called David, and when we lived in Wales it always seemed rather a good day to have a birthday as everyone else was celebrating.
I've never actually met anyone who shares my July birthdate, though I had two friends at school whose birthdays' were the day after mine. At least being born in late July I was never at school on my birthday, though it's a family joke that it always rains - my mother would often recount how there was a terrific summer storm with thunder and lightning going on as she was in labour. I don't know that I'm a typical Leo either - in fact I wouldn't set much store by horoscopes except that husband is such a Gemini.
So, for all those fishy people with Pisces birthdays coming up, I've bought the cards, let's hope they get to you in time.
