19th April is a very special date...

There seems to be a lot to celebrate at the moment. 2000 hits, Easter, Planet of the Dead, David Tennant's birthday today, and another very special date, tomorrow...

If you haven't guessed, it's my birthday tomorrow! I was born on the 19th April 1995, in the morning. Seb will hopefully do a post about it tomorrow, *hint hint*, but for now I'd like to tell you about this special day, and the month of April (God bless Wikipedia!):

On April 19th:

1) 1770 - Captain James Cook sights Australia
2) 1839 - Belgium is established as a kingdom by the Treaty of London
3) 1971 - Sierra Leone becomes a republic

April's birth stone is a diamond, which means innocence.

It's birth flower is the Daisy and Sweet Pea.
