What day is it today?

Today has been a special day.  Not for me in particular, but for the world generally, a sequential date.  I'd never come across that term before - and I've lived through others, but just didn't realise!!

Last year, the 10th November was a sequential date - 10.11.12.  The year before, the 9th of October was too.  (9.10.11)  Today, for a second, we lived through 1/12/13 14:15.16.

Not that I was aware of this happening - I discovered the term sequential date just 20 minutes ago via a friend's Facebook post!

Apparently, dates like these are often chosen for special events - like getting married.  It will certainly help people remember their wedding date!  Apparently, wedding venues in Las Vegas were really busy when the USA celebrated this same date - back on the 12th of November (because of course there, they write the date with the month first and the day second).

There has been nothing particularly memorable in my day - the usual combination of work and sport.

Mind you, the sunrise this morning was pretty impressive ...

and the south wind meant that Santander was glowing all day!
