Leaps and Shakes

There is a tradition that women may make a proposal of marriage to men only in leap years, further restricted in some cases to only February 29. There is a belief that in 1288 the Scottish parliament under Queen Margaret legislated that any woman could propose in Leap Year. Another component of this tradition was that if the man rejects the proposal, he should soften the blow by providing a kiss, one pound currency, and a pair of gloves (some later sources say a silk gown).

ooh, a pound and a new dress!!

There was an earthquake last night? Damn, I missed it :(

All change

Time for a facelift :)

This journal, maybetwisted, 2wheelsbetter and domorethings have all had a bit of a re-decoration.

I like making my own personal ones, but the pre-made ones now are so much better than anything I could ever make, it seems daft to stick with the old ones.

I mean, you could paint your own house and reposition the furniture, but if you could have someone come and do a much better job for free...
