    It did Vic. Don't have access to my old photoshopping software (Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10 on Windows Vista) at the moment so I am having to play around with some other free software, Paint 3D, and it is challenging but does help fill in some time. It started snowing in the NE this morning so we have our first snow of the season, about 1 1/2 inches

    1. Brazil 2. Italy 3. 4. 5. Russia 6. Columbia 7. Monday 16/02/26 - Fire Horse 8. Phillipined 9. 10. Haiti 11. You can't get married between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur because this period, known as the Days of Awe, is a solemn time for intense spiritual introspection, repentance, and seeking forgiveness, culminating in the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) when God seals one's fate for the year, making it inappropriate for the joy and new beginnings associated with weddings1 12. 13. 14. Italians, Spaniards, and the Chinese share the common goal of warding off bad luck for the New Year, using symbolic acts like clearing out the old, eating specific foods (grapes in Spain/Italy, lentils in Italy), and wearing auspicious colors (red in Italy/China) to welcome fortune, focusing on renewal and positive energy for the year ahead 15. 16. To find L'Home dels Nassos (the Man of Noses) and get a wish, you need to be in Catalonia, Spain, especially Barcelona, on December 31st, searching the streets and public squares for a man with only one nose left (as he loses one daily), often appearing at midday in places like Pla de Palau. 17. 18. 19. 20. I bet you didn't know = I didn't. I had to Google all 20

    Ralph Lowe on the [Barrington, Barnt' n memories and stuff!!](https://www.facebook.com/groups/958444760904321/) group is trying to idenmtify the other 6 girls in this netball team photo. Ralph posted this comment :- 'Sister, Linda, sitting in the bottom row, 1st from our right. Linda was in the Girls Training Corps (GTC), which was set up during WW2. The photo was taken at Bedlington Station Modern School, which appears to be the main hall. I think there was also a Barton branch of the GTC, of which Linda was a member.' Can any member of this group name anyone in the photo?
