It's #leapyearday .
I'm not going to treat today like a free day to get something done 🤞but a day to give myself a free pass because it's not March yet and it doesn't count.

_The Evening Post_, 29 Feb 1924:
UNIQUE BIRTHDAY
PORT NICHOLSON’S FIRST BORN
A twenty-first [leap-year] birthday of considerable interest to #Wellington is being celebrated to-day at Palmerston North, where a large gathering of relatives and friends from all over the province has assembled to celebrate the attainment of his “majority” by Mr. “Tom” Rogers, the first European child born at the Port Nicholson settlement. The “New Zealand Gazette” of 1840 recorded: Birth— At Port Nicholson, on 29th February, 1840, to Mrs. Charles Rogers, late of Waltham Abbey, of a son. It was afterwards established beyond question that this son was the first child born in the settlement, and therefore in the Wellington Province. Despite his 84 years, he is reported as still being hale and hearty.
…
The event of to-day has been a matter for rejoicing amongst the Early Settlers’ Association, and they have forwarded their congratulations, remarking on the pleasure it has given them to see that Mr. Rogers has at last reached his twenty-first birthday, though his progress towards that end has been so very gradual.
