4. Oktober 1582

Ah, 4th October 2024! Exactly 442 years after in 1582 the Gregorian calendar of Pope Gregory XIII was introduced in Catholic countries, which is why the 4th was immediately followed by the 15th of October.
No 5th, no 14th of October.
13th of October? So when was I born?
Maybe I wasn't born at all?
Very interesting. ;-)

  1. Maybe explains why photographs of the Lord of Seanhenge are at a premium 🤔

  2. Això només pot passar a un ser extraordinari ple de llum o potser a un ser endimoniat per allò de les ombres... 🤭

    Aferradetes, Sean.

  3. Devia ser molt estrany, viure en aquest any 1582...
    Aviat serà 13 d'octubre, espero que no et volatilitzis tot de cop...
    Podria ser el dia que neixi el meu proper net. A veure...
    Abraçades, Sean.

    1. Yes, I imagine this ten-day ‘swallowing’ event to be very strange and confusing for most people.
      And you are expecting a new grandchild around the 13th. What a joy, Carme. My good thoughts are with everyone involved.

    1. Indeed! Teresa's date of death is ‘4/15 de octubre de 1582’. Thank you, dear Artur. But - even though I'm not superstitious - please don't congratulate me prematurely.
      Have a nice weekend - on 5 and 6 October ;-)

  5. The history behind it all is fascinating, but supper is more more interesting than almost anything else any day.
