Welcome to the first day of the new month…
… and let’s get it right this year: it’s Frimaire! (See the Calendar above).
Sharp-eyed francophone reader Phersu pointed out to me in a comment attached to the post below that this month was entered in my French Republican Calendar Database as “Frigidaire”, which is a mistake now that has been cycling round for several years, and is almost certainly entirely my stupid fault. (Steve: if you read this you might want to correct your own FRCD.)
Frigidaire is not a month in the World’s Finest Calendar, but a brand of refrigerator.
