LOL! I am properly admonished. I would have deserved a "Let me google that" post on that one.

Google birthday!!
I won't ruin your surprise...

Nice one today - and very topical.

First day of Summer - in Australia

Yesterday was a plain, lonely cricket bat, ball and stumps/wicket. :-(

For December the 3rd ... Anna Freud's 119th Birthday.

Marksierra dear, that's not the pic I get for Anna...

I've just tried three browsers and get the same pic on each, with the exception that both Firefox and IE have the added option of the 'Share' icon, whereas Chrome doesn't. Dunno.


My iPad is showing a plane thing, here, but the Google page pic is Anna's head with pretty colourful things coming out of it...is that what you've posted? Because I've also noticed that stax of MOL avatars are all messed up...might be my iPad.

Now showing in Australia ...

A new one now showing in Australia.

Animated, with sound.

Here's the link to play the animation:

Aren't they the same?

how odd: after weeks of the wrong pics being shown on our monitor this morning the right ones have appeared! marksierra, the Anna Freud you posted is the one I saw on her date, but it isn't the one I saw on your post.

As we've been discussing elsewhere, I wonder how much of this issue is also to do with the difficulty in matching the accessibility for each user??

Yes, they're identical. (I played them in parallel. oh oh )

They're taking the advantage of 'The Season" lasting for a few days. Apart from which. so much effort from the designer deserves a longer viewing period.

To quote a former local pollie, who is again making noises about rejoining the fray, 'Please explain?'

It's a thought.

I could even say 'electrifying', bit I won't.

https://g.co/doodle/pkq523 is an excellent explanation of how the doodle came about.


By the way, the Lunar New Year doodle has movement and light - which you'll see when your part of the world gets to the 19th of February.

It's here now, but isn't this the Year of the Goat?

Lunar year is Ram, Sheep or Goat depending on who you're speaking with. Basically the same beast in Chinese astrology. The Fortune works out the same!

And for St Patrick's Day .. there are shamrocks playing fiddles
