(Read up on what #Richards2016 is all about here.)

Hello. Another week then. Coming up to six months shortly. Maybe I’ll try and do something special for that. But knowing my luck (and levels of effort at this point), I probably won’t. Still, stay tuned.

 June 11th: Corn on the Cob Day

Not just corn, but a whole meal of wonderful food. Not actually cooked by me, but I sort of assisted in its production (rubbing butter on the corn), so it still counts.

June 12th: Red Rose Day

So. I’m going to do a full blog post on this later (probably tomorrow), but I did a sort of… photoshoot. Roses were involved. As was milk. Here’s a snippet for your eyes to enjoy.

See, there’s a rose in there! More to follow.

June 13th: Sewing Machine Day

There was no way I was going to be able to do this, was I? So I borrowed a day from fellow-daysman Toby.

Look at him work that sewing machine! Powerful stuff.

June 14th: World Blood Donor Day

So, I recently became a certified platelets donor. It’s like a more hardcore version of being a blood donor because it takes longer. Yup, a further 90 minutes of having an uncomfortably thick needle lodged in your arm. But I haven’t actually had a go at donating  any yet.

So I tried to book an appointment on this day for my first platelet donation. But it’s tricky. Because it takes so long, it means it has to start at least 90 minutes before they shut. But they shut at like 7. I finish work at 6. You can see the issue. So we’re currently trying to figure out what to do about this.

I’ve got some sort of appointment in a few weeks. That’s good enough for me, and all this faff is surely enough to fill the requirements of Blood Donor Day.

Also, GIVE BLOOD.

June 15th: Smile Power Day

Don’t ever say I don’t smile.

June 16th: Fresh Veggies Day

The logic checks out. I order the same thing from Subway everytime:

Steak and Cheese. Toasted. Plus onions, lettuce, peppers, olives, and jalapenos. I call it ‘The Richard’ and it’s the greatest. AND it’s full of fresh vegetables. YUM.

June 17th: Eat Your Vegetables Day

Two vegetables days in a row?! Why, I oughta…

Anyway, I had a delicious lamb kofte wrap from Merhaba. Yum again.
