14 March was a date.

Holidays and observances

14 March was Pi Day, so called because the date looked like the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, 3.14. As Pi actually had infinite digits, true Pi Day could only be found on planets with a far more complex calendar. (PROSE: Time Traveller's Diary [+]Loading...["Time Traveller's Diary (novel)"])

Events

In 64 AD, the First Doctor, Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright and Vicki Pallister arrived in Byzantium. (PROSE: Byzantium! [+]Loading...["Byzantium! (novel)"])

In 2020, Ogmore-by-Sea officially went into lockdown from COVID-19. (PROSE: Copy/Paste [+]Loading...["Copy/Paste (short story)"])
