A little colour always cheers me up, too, Oxf
but I am not going through all that again
- and if there are 350,000 species of beetles, surely they would not be alone, AC

Certainly not the only one!
My colour will be determined by a semi-random reassignment of one number in the hexdec code from AC's post:

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:
1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

And a
Happy New Year to you too, Jaywhat!
We should compile a list of New Years and celebrate them all!
The Alexandrian calendar in Egypt started on 29 August...
Several local provincial calendars were aligned to start on the birthday of Augustus, 23 September
... and so on, according to
Wikipedia.
What a wheeze!
Carpe diem. Savour every moment.

Tomorrow Shetland is
closed, it's the most important holiday of the year.
We haven't gone this year, we took my mother last year though.
They've got a fine night weatherwise.
