Saturday 18 July

📆 We are on Saturday 18 July. This is the 199th day of the year and there are 165 days left before celebrating the new year 2027! 🍾

In the French Republican calendar, it was the equivalent of 30 Messidor, officially defined as the day of Chalemie.

And based on the Year 08 calendar imagined by Reporterre, la naissance de Gilbert White in 1720

🪽 For the Saints, know that we wish on 18 July a happy celebration to Frédéric !
