Towel Day and Wear Green Day.
Friday was Towel Day, a day in which fans of Douglas Adams are encouraged to carry a towel in some conspicuous way, for example, slung over the shoulder. I'm a big fan of DNA, as Douglas is affectionately known, but it's difficult to walk around in public with a towel. People look at you. Strangely. And you have to explain why you're carry around the towel. Ok, so maybe explaining is the point of the whole exercise. Fortunately, and unfortunately, I was spared the effort because I forgot to take a towel with me...
I was genuinely disappointed, since I am indeed a big fan of Douglas Adams. I have recently been reading the Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (again, again). This time around I'm especially enjoying the "sequels". It's as if I've never really paid attention to them. The fourth book "So Long and Thanks for All The Fish" is my favourite so far.
After Towel Day flopped I was determined to make another of my commitments: the Facebook "Wear Green on May 26th" effort. Four of my windband friends also pitched up at the rehearsal today wearing green. Yay for group pressure!
