Monday 5 January

📆 We are on Monday 5 January. This is the 5th day of the year and there are 359 days left before celebrating the new year 2027! 🍾

In the French Republican calendar, it was the equivalent of 16 Nivôse, officially defined as the day of du silex.

And based on the Year 08 calendar imagined by Reporterre, la sortie de "How to Blow Up a Pipeline", d’Andreas Malm in 2021
