And the next date in the calendar is....

[ChickenGuy]

I'm bored today, and I thought this might be an interesting thread to start....

OK, so it's simple - just post the next date in a standard calendar (there's no year)

It's effectively a race to December 31, which should happen in 365 posts.

(don't know if we'll make it a leap year - we'll see what happens)

P.S. you can mention anything you want that's relevant to the date in your post - like someone's birthday, a world event that happened, a picture of something, etc.

Remember - there's no year, and it can be any year you want, or no year.


Right - I'll start....


And we begin at....
