☀️SUNNY SUNDAY ☀️

😌 Have a rest while listening to Lullaby for Old Children, by the Breton musician and story-teller Patrick Ewen.

👨‍🦳Patrick Ewen has written many songs and tales about his homeland Brittany, which is a peninsula in western France that was united to France in the 16th century.

✊ Just as with many other parts of France, Brittany had her own culture, language and identity. Modern tides have of course eroded all of these, but small groups like Diwan and Div Yezh are actively teaching the Breton language and its culture.

🗣 Our native tongue is our true fatherland, said Emil Cioran. In a increasingly globalized world, unique cultures can only survive if their recipients make the conscious decision to preserve them.

❤️ So take a moment today to appreciate the culture you belong to, and the legacy you carry with it! Happy Sunday to everyone.

👉 You can find this song (among others from the same creator) on Youtube.

🇫🇷Paris is canceling its traditional New Year fireworks to help limit the spread of the coronavirus, BFM TV reports, citing the city hall.

On Friday, French Prime Minister Jean Castex asked all the country's city halls to cancel New Year's fireworks and concerts to curtail the spread of the Omicron strain.

French power company EDF has found faults in two nuclear reactors, prompting their shutdown — about 10% of France’s generation just went offline. This, in the midst of European energy crisis, is not good.

___

European power prices surged to record highs over the past couple of days after France announced the closure of four of its largest nuclear reactors. The crisis is further exacerbated by already very high prices of natural gas and cold temperatures. By the end of the month, most of the continent will endure below average temperatures, further increasing power demand.
