yes, new month, new year, new decade, etc, look you see. welcome to it.
in keeping with tradition, then, here are the calendars what we have around the house. these i share not to show off as such, but rather because some of you simply cannot be bothered to purchase your own. for you specifically, then, i trust these images let you plan your days ahead for the month.
many of you shall be quite familiar with these posts over the years. for this year, there is something a little different, yet also the same as has been known. well, you shall see.
the wrestling what i did with myself in respect of selecting a new calendar for 2020 came to something of an end when Mum & Dad kindly sent one on. it showcases, as you can clearly see in this first one, aspects of things that are New Zealand. whilst i have every confidence in the perfect clarity of Commodore 64 mode, for those who wish to have confirmation, yes that is indeed Matapouri Beach in Northland depicted.
any important or memorable dates in january? well, all of them, i suppose. but, in keeping with the tradition commenced last year, here are a few things for you to give consideration to.
3 - on this day in 1962 the 23rd pope to be called John decided to kick Fidel Castro out of the church. no, no idea what he did that was so comparatively bad.
8 - apparently the single most magical day in music history, for in history on this day both David Bowie and The King, Elvis Presley celebrated their birthdays. man, if they had ever had a joint celebration party, that would have been class.
10 - what is widely regarded as the best, the greatest and the most important concert ever to happen in the northern hemisphere happened on this day in 1987, at the Manchester G-Mex, no less.
13 - the reign of Do They Know It's Christmas? at number one came to and end on this day in 1985, with Foreigner's superb I Want To Know What Love Is taking the top spot.
19 - seminal film classic Tremors, considered to be Kevin Bacon's greatest and most important cinematic role (at the time) since Footloose, was released on this day in 1990. which was now 30 years ago.
21 - a very happy birthday indeed to Brian O'Driscoll, the legendary Irish rugby player, born this day in 1979. yes, a drink would be appropriate.
23 - experts reckon this is the most depressing day of the year, due to bills from Christmas and New Year catching up with one just before any sort of traditional pay day. so, whistle a happy tune, chat with friends and family, watch something funny. everything will probably be all right; we can but try and get though this together.
26 - strewth, fair dinkum bruces and shielas, it's Australia Day.
27 - Andre the Giant out of Princess Bride and some sort of American variant of wrestling, passed away on this day in 1993.
31 - it is believed that on this day in 2020 the number of nations in the EU shall drop from 28 to 27. but, we have heard this before.
do bear in mind the above are just my random selections, and should not be considered as any form or sort of definitive list of the most important dates of the month. well, yes, no, obviously the ones mentioned for the 8th and 26th are.
what calendar hangs in the kitchen? an enforced change one, as it happens. i went off looking for the usual, but alas no, i was betrayed by Poundland. for some reason they did not have any Winnie The Pooh calendars this year, so instead this one shall have to do.
yes, Star Wars. indeed, the whole concept / franchise had gone somewhat stale of late, after the fiasco disasters of Solo and Last Jedi. but, redemption is never far away. it turned out that Rise Of Skywalker was a decent film, and (ahem) i am led to believe that the series The Mandalorian, which of course people outside of the USA shall only see in March or April 2020, is excellent.
a decent enough start to the year with this calendar, then, with (proper) Han Solo and (proper) Chewbacca beautifying the kitchen wall for the first 31 days of the year. well, that could be more if i forget to change it over.
righty-ho, i hope this has helped all of you who use my calendar instead of having one of your own out. or, alternatively, given you some interesting notes on select dates. if both, well then so much the better.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
