Aside from being somewhat cold and windy, it's been a good start to the year* here weatherwise. I hope all of you have enjoyed a good start to 2026 in some shape or form.

* Starting the year just prior to the depths of winter seems pretty daft to me. I must look into adopting a calendar which begins in March (but not the early Julian calendar with it's byzantine intercalation).
Seriously, screw intercalation. I hate that stuff. Your New Year looks glorious!
ReplyDeleteWe had that pink sky at sunset too - such a camp way to start a year! Jx
ReplyDeleteA nice way to start the new year I'd say. I was out in the garden yesterday getting some fresh air, enjoying the crisp air (hang over) and filling the bird feeders. A nice treat was seeing a Robin already. In January and cold?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year handsome!
Happy New Year, Bitches!
ReplyDeleteI abase myself in your general direction
DeleteI've just learned you're the winner of TFGES competition. Yay! Best news I've heard all year.
DeleteWe heard fireworks on the 31/01 and had terrifyingly loud thunderstorm one evening, And the rain stopped just long enough to mow some of the lawn...then the battery died!
ReplyDeleteHere's to health, happiness and maybe a lotto win!*
* I don't buy tickets, so it's all down to you Big Spenders! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat better way to start the new year than with a photo of your 'Groinage'.
ReplyDeleteI love your seascapes.
As pretty as the winter sky can be, I still scream, Roll on Spring.
Interesting word, intercalation - so it's a byzantine in-shoving ? Is there a difference to a Roman ramming ?
ReplyDeleteAre you under snow ?
I'm under snow. And plenty of it.
ReplyDeleteIs everything OK, Mr DeVice? It's not like you to be AWOL for three weeks... Jx
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, it's amazing how quickly time can pass.
DeleteThank you, Jon, yes, all's well here. Hibernation-mode had set in (along with some ill-timed visits and events) and somethings had to give - one of which was blogging.
I seem to have a free weekend, so I plan to catch up and maybe even post something!
Hoorah! Jx
