Happy new year folks to :- subject to the usual reservations of
political correctness and not wishing to offend any who choose to
celebrate in accordance with any alternate calender or observation.
I'm at the moment channel surfing looking for "Dinner for one" or
the "90th geburtstag", a peculiarly Teutonic preoccupation, this
11minute black and white short film about celebrating an old lady's
birthday is considered to be an essential part of the German new
year celebrations and is playing on at least 22 German stations
tonight as well as seven Austrian ones.
I understand that in Japan the ceremonial includes listening to
Beethoven's 9th symphony, and this leads me to wonder what other
national preoccupations the rest of the list are indulging in tonight.
All the best
