my town has held a lantern festival for the last 4 years, in February. It’s based on an old tradition of chasing away the dark so the light can return (seems to work!)

It gets better every year!

Video clips from last night’s festivities (everything you see is home-made)

The parade runs the length of town (one mile), then culminates in an open area where people eat, drink, and warm up by bonfires.

On the bright side, the reduced abundance of air travellers should reduce intercontinental vector transmissions. That's the only good.

1977, just like this year, was the Year of the Snake (el año de la serpiente).

Chilean-French rapper Ana Tijoux was born in that year, and
“1977” is an autobiographical song. The video contains images of France where she was born, the daughter of exiles from Chile during the Pinochet dictatorship.

The supermarket had tons of #chinesenewyear stuff, and, err.. Well.

I bought this just for the label

(Look at her! Reptilicious! )

Now I feel obliged to cook a nice meal in her honour..

(I've just painted this old table with watered down wall paint leftovers.

The fancy-ass blue candlesticks were 10 euros in a junk sale! Tarnished brass, battered and filthy.

Their paint job is just more leftover wall paints, some blue oil paint, and layers of dry brushing.)
