10000 days alive!
#113 on the list done. Celebrated with a dumpling lunch in Ashfield (love those soup filled dumplings at Taste of Shanghai!) and board games with some Moore College peeps this evening.
I think there’s a place for celebrating things in multiples of ten rather than 365. It’s more metric… more ‘now’
You can calculate many strange and interesting things (such as your 10000th day alive) at wolfram|alpha…









I remember observing by 5k and 6k days. And in 1997, I went before uni to where my mum was working and left her a “happy k-day” note that she was 15,000 days old.
And now coming up to 30y (followed by 11k days) I realise I’m closer in age to the 15k mother-of-uni-student than the 6k year 12.
