First day thread

[mickthemaverick]

As it is the first day of April which signals me turning off the house heating, it means if it gets chilly in the evenings we will decamp to one of our favoured venues for dinner. The problem with living in Hertford and not liking the pubs in the town is that we always have to pick one from this list:

Sometimes by the time we have chosen a venue it is too late to get there, so we end up with more jumpers and a takeaway!!

That the trouble with applying thought to the process. Assign the pubs on your list a number, and go to random,org and let the random hand decide.

I will have to defer my contributions until late tomorrow. I've only just completed my parkun duties for today... My brain is now mush!

As winter approaches and flowers fade, this is the time of year when the ivy provides flowers, which are a magnet for bees and wasps, you will notice them they can gather in large numbers.

Falcon First Day Original
Wednesday November 1st 2023

I would think it unlikely that many members of the FCF will have occasion to visit Seaham a town on the County Durham Coast about 7 miles down from Sunderland. There's a statue known affectionately as "Tommy" created by Ray Lonsdale. The official name of the statue is/was 1101 to represent the first minute after the armistice went into effect at 11am on November 11, 1918.

This thread is a traditional celebration of the First day of a new month in original pictures taken on the first day

What can you contribute to the thread for Friday the first of December 2023

In previous years..

On December 1st 2021 we had a bit of poetry

Second Verse please John to accompany a few December 1st 2021 original images

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

On December 1st 2022 we had some soggy roses from me but...
...I'm sure Jim wont mind me bringing forward this photo he took on December 1st 2022 as an example of contributions to the first day thread that day.

I spent a quality part of the first day of the month in the company of my granddaughter and her mum looking suitably festive

Cat pawprints, not vert exciting, but they start from nowhere and end nowhere, just a four or five foot trail.
Camera didn't seem to find a focus point, then the battery died.

This is a cheery little bird which brought a little bit of First day entertainment with its hopping progression across the steppy stones to stone number 9 via 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8.
