Winter monsoon wear

A cold front has swept down from the north. The air temperature on a little island in the South China Sea is currently 13.3C and dropping, probably to a low of 11C overnight.

New Year's Eve will be "fine and dry" with a high of 16C and humidity below 50%. Hong Kong Observatory talks about 'fresh northerly winds" amd forecasts an even colder and drier New Year's Day.

Time to dig out the lip salve.

Bonne année!

Tout le monde! Bonne année!

News Year's Eve? New Year's Day? Anyday!

Look to this day,
For it is life,
The very life of life.
In its brief course lie all
The realities and verities of existence,
The bliss of growth,
The splendour of action,
The glory of power --

For yesterday is but a dream,
and tomorrow is only a vision,
But today, well lived,
Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day.
