Happy January the First to  everybody with unmitigated morning cheerfulness
(Only 9.45 am here, and if you are not up to it go hang out with @sailorgirl’s delightful morning after crowd in the coffee queue)

.....And yes there were fireworks as the new year was conceived,  and the old one went out with a bang .

And yes, as flagged,  I have put the hog back in Hogmany*.
...Moreover in a remarkable NWH-specific coincidence, he flaunts Braveheart facepaint **
(Braveheart has been an unofficial  HC NWH mascot since our 2018 Curragh Coal contract*** .)

He is also here to symbolise cultural integration, heralding the approach of  February 5 - the (lucky) Chinese year of the pig.
A lucky 2019?
I maintain confirmation bias in this direction for NRW Holdings and possibly some others.

Hogmanay celebrations take place all over Scotland and lasts for three days, beginning at the end of December and ending on January 2nd.

**From the NWH Inventory of Obscure Coincidences and Quirky Facts:
Australian actor , Mel Gibson’s, movie Braveheart grossed $210 million at the box office and contained a battle sequence filmed on Curragh Plain
The film was released in May (1995). The NRW Curragh $210 million extension to contract was also announced in May (2018)
This means Mel  was possibly filming, on that Curragh Plain, in 1994 concurrent with  NRW Holdings being founded in Kalgoorlie in 1994! https://nrw.com.au/about-us/our-history/
