(Read up on what #Richards2016 is all about here.)
Hey again! Back to a single post (phew!). All those double posts were such a drag.
HERES WHAT I HAVE DONE WITH MY LIFE.
May 21st: Rapture Party Day
As well you know, the rapture did not happen last week. Sorry guys, but it just don’t look like it’s coming any time soon either. Thus, having a ‘rapture party’ isn’t really a thing that’s possible to do. But I did something close enough.
Rapture Party Day.
I think a food park on the outskirts of Cambridge just about qualifies #richards2016 pic.twitter.com/7377oe0cFA— Richard Cook (@cookywook) May 21, 2016
Cambridge Foodpark is a collective of street food traders, who get together in various spots around the city to sell delicious things. In the summer months they do these little night park things. On Saturday, this was out in a barn some ways out of the town centre. There was music, dancing, and the hottest chicken wings I’ve had in months.
It felt like a little secret end-of-the-world rave. So I’m calling this one: CLOSE ENOUGH.
May 22nd: Sherlock Holmes Day
Sherlock Holmes Day! #richards2016 pic.twitter.com/KBuotrhRVr

Turns out I basically dress as Sherlock Holmes all the time anyway! Though I think my pro-gaming PC chair in the background spoils this just a bit.
May 23rd: Turtle Day
It looks like I’ve started my own tradition of just drawing animals on animal-related days. So here’s a FANCY TURTLE

YES HE’S WEARING A CANE AND TOP HAT. HE IS THE FANCIEST OF TURTLES.
May 24th: Brother’s Day
It's brothers day! Technically I AM someone's brother #richards2016 pic.twitter.com/fIoun1jyjI

Yeah, this counts. I think you’re allowed to just be someone’s brother. Anyway, shut up.
(That’s my sister, btw).
May 25th: Tap Dancing Day
I was at a wedding. The PERFECT place to tap my feets.
Tap dancing day! I know you can barely see anything in this but whatevs #richards2016 pic.twitter.com/oEWd7JmjJr
— Richard Cook (@cookywook) May 25, 2016
Yeah I know you can’t see a thing. It was a dark wedding, ok? But yes, I’m doing my best to tap along to some S Club. Don’t judge me.
May 26th: World Lindy Hop Day
So. I didn’t actually dance the lindy hop.
Because I was at a Beer Festival.
Beer has hops in it.
Therefore.
I’m calling this barely acceptable. Again, shut up.
May 27th: Cellophane Tape Day
Ah, cellophane tape. AKA cellotape lol. Anyway, here I am with a phone taped to my face like an idiot.
It's Cellophane Tape Day, so I've taped a phone to my face. Don't copy this. pic.twitter.com/0yOl5NfTcZ

Like that? Here’s another.
DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME. It hurts and makes you look stupid.
So, what’s coming up in the next seven days?
- May 28th: Hamburger Day
- May 29th: Biscuit Day
- May 30th: Loomis Day
- May 31st: No Tobacco Day
- June 1st: Say Something Nice Day
- June 2nd: Rocky Road Day
- June 3rd: Chimborazo Day
NOTE: I’m away on a work trip most of next week. So if I’m not able to do something good for – say, ‘Chimborazo Day’ (???) – then I apologise in advance.
I thought you would call it “Barley acceptable” AHA HA HA HA
