Day 55 Tuesday

Today is International Women's Day. In fact it is the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day, so, to all you beautiful women out there, Happy International Women's Day! All banks and schools closed. Valentines Day eat your heart out!


It is also the Third Tuesday before Novrus, the New Year. Yes, they celebrate the calendar new year too, I am just learning about this celebration, so more to come on this as it unfolds, but something happens on each Tuesday prior to Novrus, and today is Windy Tuesday. Not sure what that means just now. There are gatherings and celebrations all around the city tonight, including bonfires. If you are one of the really fortunate ones you will be invited to jump across the fire three times. It has something to do with good luck... I'll bet there's liquor involved too.
