New Year’s Day [1]

January 1, 2026

(0759) Predictably late start, Happy New Year, going to open proceedings by expanding a post just up at OoL. (0809)

This was my opening at OoL:

Greetings on New Year, readers … Julia spoke for both of us last evening.

We tend at Orphans to run mainly Britcentric fayre but do mention events in other places. Thinking what to put up this morning, what crystallised in the blurry NYD brain was why not post just a few street scenes, including those in Iran, which is the main news coming out at 7:30 a.m. GMT.

Going to post some Brit, one Amsterdam and one Tehran scene below. At Unherdables, I’ll expand the Iran situation as a separate post item.

A few street scenes

Our isles over the past few days:

Previously:

Amsterdam overnight:

The Iranian situation shall be in NYD [2], DAD will be NYD [3].

Happy New Year, one and all. Thank you for your services in 2025, esp to our long suffering Landlord!

Thank you Toodles for the Patriot Nurse video.👍

Raising a glass this lunchtime to absent friends – those we have lost along the way. 🥃
