The season of Scrooge is upon us

In the summer, we bought a flip-over desk calendar with a picture for each day of the year, of the Vendee. They were all taken from the air, hopefully using a telephoto lens otherwise there's been a lot of very low flying going on. Being financially prudent we have delighted in the fact that we'll be able to use it next year and the year after etc...... Hopefully with a year gap we'll have forgotten the picture and it will seem new to us. Sadly analogous to the goldfish, reputed to have forgotten by the time he swims the circuit of the bowl.

The shop where we bought it has already gone out of business. I can see something wrong with the business model of selling calendars that last forever.
