7 Years Old

This blog is 7 years old today.

Wolfram Alpha tells me that 7 years is equal to 84 months, 365 weeks, 2555 days, 61320 hours, 6.995025 anomalistic years, or 6.99508694957 sidereal years.

In other '7 year' news, The Eiffel Tower is painted approximately once every 7 years and requires nearly 50 tons of paint each time according to this site. And it appears to be a myth that in the length of time this blog has existed, I have replaced every cell in my body.

Happy birthday, hippie blog!

Hillsborough

It is 20 years since the Hillsborough Disaster, and I remember it vividly. I was 11 and it was talked about for weeks. One boy, Tony Bland, was used as an example in Religious Education for years, against withdrawing treatment to some medical patients.

It was horrific, and now I live in the city it happened in. I've just listened to this radio programme, and there is a sense in the air here of what happened.

Until they get justice, I can understand why people can't even grieve properly.

Thinking of the 96.
