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

Another week in the bag! Ok, this week was once again mostly eating stuff. But I promise I’ll try better in the future, ok?

Anyway, HERE IT ISSSSS.

February 13th: Radio Day

Got my hands on an old-school radio, didn’t I?!

Now, I’m all about on-demand music streaming services. So radios are a bit weird to me. But they’re quite good fun for having on when you’re doing other stuff I suppose. Especially if it’s like a talk show or something. And listening to Craig Charles talk about his favourite funk and soul records is a laugh.

Also I look well handsome in that photo, don’t I?

February 14th: Cream Filled Chocolate Day

Also Valentine’s Day I guess?

That’s me there, eating a Fox’s Chocolate Cream aka the best chocolate bar. It’s incredible.

Side note, check out how daysoftheyear.com decided to advertise this day.

MATE, an oreo is not a cream-filled chocolate. It’s a cream-filled chocolate BISCUIT. Unless in the US they’re calling biscuits chocolates now? In which case, they’re simply beyond hope.

February 15th: Hippo Day

I mean, what would you do? Not a lot of hippos in the east anglia region, y’know.

That’s a pretty good hippo, I reckon. That second foreleg is kinda screwed up but whatever.

February 16th: Almond Day

I went out to Greggs in search of one of their famous HUGE CHERRY BAKEWELLS. But they were all out. Don’t worry though, the disaster was thankfully averted…

Hell yeah, an almond croissant! aka the best pastry in the universe. YUM.

February 17th: World Human Spirit Day

You wot, mate? I don’t really understand what this is about, beyond some airy fairy hippy nonsense. The website described it thus:

This day is a celebration of continuity, of hope, of awareness, an occasion for us all to connect spiritually, to gaze at the universe beyond our worldly bodies.

Like, that doesn’t help. First of all, materialism is literally true. Secondly, this sounds super lame.

My philosophical reservations aside, I decided to conduct an experiment. I decided to sell my soul.

Now, I know some of you doubters will question whether this was a legitimate exchange. Did Edd really pay me €50,000 (converted to £££) for my immortal soul? Was this just a scripted exchange we did during our lunch break? I’ll take a note from religion’s book and simply say that SUCH QUESTIONS ARE BEYOND HUMAN COMPREHENSION AND TO QUESTION ME AT ALL IS HERESY. Pahahaaa, burrrrrrrrn.

February 18th: Drink Wine Day

Not a problem.

I went all the way to Asda and bought some delicious Riesling for this. But apparently that’s not to everyone’s tastes (SORRY OLIVIA) so we had some of whatever this is instead. It was lovely.

February 19th: Chocolate Mint Day

Ate some chocolate mints.

Now, you’re probably going to call me out here. After all, these are simply minty chocolate biscuits, not true chocolate mints. BUT, whatever. If the website can get away with calling oreos ‘cream-filled biscuit’ then I get this in revenge. Call it cosmic justice of whatever.

AND THAT’S YER LOT

Coming up next week:

  • February 20th: Cherry Pie Day
  • February 21st: Single Tasking Day
  • February 22nd: Be Humble Day
  • February 23rd: Banana Bread Day
  • February 24th: Inconvenience Yourself Day
  • February 25th: Introduce A Girl To Engineering Day
  • February 26th: Pistachio Day

Some of these are SO weird. Also, ‘inconvenience yourself day’ lol. That’s pretty much all I do everyday already!

See you then.

ps. Might stop doing these ps bits. There’s no updates to speak of.
