Macaroni on France24. It takes a few years to get into the swing of the annual lunacy...

Hello from the future! So far it still looks all the same. Just catching up on Egypt, and they too put on quite a show, I see.

Meanwhile, as seen from several kms away using a camera and a zoom lens:

That surely must have been a first
Family members who have volunteered there,mentioned Christmas is non existent there,so I suppose NYE’s celebrations make up for it.

From British Press:

An unusual addition to the Covid New Year canon, Paris will see out 2020 at Notre-Dame, rather than the Arc de Triomphe as is tradition, with a performance by composer and performer Jean-Michel Jarre. The man himself will play from a nearby studio, with his avatar providing the visuals inside a virtual iteration of the cathedral.

The massive social distancing on Das Erste and ZDF shows are not giving any kind of atmosphere. The light show is very good.

That kinda was the deal during Soviet era here as well. Big NYE, with even a local equivalent of Santa Claus, called Dyed Moroz in Russian.

The NYE must be a huge event then, two parties in one!

TVP Info and TVP Polonia are trying hard with celebrations from Ostroda,and there’s a lively audience,too boot,but I guess it was recorded pre-covid.
TVP Polonia is live,with masked audienc.

For the first time in ages Im having problems with ZDF HD - the signal is breaking up thanks to the rain battering down. :( This is unheard of normally here!

Anyway back to DF1. It must be almost 30 years sinvce I first caught this one bored new years eve down in Cannock, idly flicking through the 50 or so Sky analogue channels my parents had access to. Now its a bit of an institition - and Im still introducing folks to it today :-rofl2

Somewhere in England (possibly?)!
The fireworks & the purple avatar masks will disappear when Chris takes the festive javascript off - hopefully in the next couple of days:D
Hopefully "sooner" than that! :(
