Happy New Year.

I think he was very brave actually, trying to converse with a random at the bus stop in a language he was struggling with.

Or February, perhaps?
Failing that, March, October, September, May, December, July, April, January, June or August, if I remember correctly.
And it's the year of the squid at the moment. Next up, the year of the spiny ant-eater, followed by the year of the ocelot.
