To be honest, as soon as I saw your... er, workaround;
I couldn't stop myself from dissolving into a laughing mess.
I wasn't expecting that this kind of trick actually worked.
Anyway...
A clue about the picture would be welcome?

Well, what you are seeing is a tear-off day calendar hanging on a wall.
The first sheet of the (unused-yet) calendar on the top
is showing this text:
1
Jan
The bottom fallen torn-off sheet is also a day-calendar sheet;
belonging to the last year's calendar that's [just used to]
hang in front of the above calendar. This bottom sheet
is showing this text:
31
Dec
^ The "D" letter got obscured by the curving bottom-left corner
of the sheet.
My intention was to show a transition from Dec, 31st to Jan, 1st;
signifying that a full //LRNE// have passed.
Hope this clears things up for you. I would guess the reason of
being confused was that you have never used (or not familiar with)
day calender? I think it is not exactly a common stationery item nowadays.
