Re-opened @jewrywallroman.bsky.social

What a fantastic first day, let’s do it all again tomorrow and every day after that, except Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day and twelve days in January for annual maintenance.

Thank you to everyone involved.

Today I celebrate my 20,000th day on the planet. To explain, my 50th was during lockdown so I decided to celebrate another arbitrary milestone instead and today is it, 20,000 days since I was born - I am really looking forward to the cake later, all those candles to blow out…
