Sending pips sideways

Today I've reached the midpoint of my current trip around the sun. It is looking like it is possible that in the second half of this trip a large proportion of the world, perhaps as much as half, will get vaccinated against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

All of the birthdays of my children take place in this half. Additionally, the school year ends almost exactly at the end of this second half.

This second half also more or less coincides with the daylight hours ever increasing considering the solstice is just around the corner.

At the end of this second half of my current voyage around the sun I will be 17532 days old. This is not a particularly significant or meaningful number. It isn't even prime.
