Brumaire

Today is Pomme - first day of Brumaire (meaning mist) in the French Revolutionary Calendar. A fascinating attempt by the radical thinking of the time to overturn all the old days, months and years and put them on a decimal basis the FRC had three ten day weeks per month and instead of the year 179whotsit had year 2 or year 4, all backdating to 1792.
So here's a pic of me in French Revolutionary stuff on. I realise I look pretty stupid in this but it is linked to some of the other posts showing a stage between the white-coated French of Yorktown (and the monarchy of Marie-Antionette) and the Napoleonic troops of Jena.
