just one of them posts what pretty much does what it says on the box. or in the title, look you see, for those mindful of being accurate if not pedantic.
this year (2025) and last (2024, fact fans) saw me have on the go (so to speak) a David Bowie calendar. not the "official" one off of his Estate, but rather a somewhat independently produced one. bootleg, i suppose. curiously in both instances the "unofficial" calendar featured considerably better images than the official one. from what i recall i have, over the last 24 months (!) shared the odd picture of it here and there. no, i am not adding links.
alas there is to be no trilogy (or hat trick) of this. frequently has it been that i have visited the same shop where these came from. it is not so much that they don't have the same style Bowie calendar in as it is they don't have any. on dear. i asked the staff if stock was coming and they suggested apparently not.
with some reluctance i considered, if not contemplated, getting the "official" one, so as to maintain the new trend of a Bowie calendar. for this i visited HMV and the only ones (calendars) they had on offer were ones of (why aye man) Newcastle United or Iron Maiden. so, no.
yes, i am quite aware that i could have ordered any sort of Bowie calendar "online", but no. if an item is more complex in shape or size (dimension) than a letterbox, which a calendar is, it seems far too perplexing for any postal delivery system to handle these days. plus Royal Mail, and other delivery firms, seem to forever be taken by surprise by Christmas and the higher volumes. i am someone that still prefers to go to an actual shop and get stuff.
merrily i do have a calendar for the year ahead (2026). as an unexpected (and very welcome) gift for Christmas my (known) children have got me one. no, it is not a Bowie one as such, but all the same a most agreeable one. it should with some ease meet any and all requirements i may have in regards of knowing what date it is.
right, that would be that, then, for this and posts for the year that is this year (2025). many thanks for stopping by for whatever reason it is you did!
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
