Maybe I could have actually gone to a genuine Cambridge curry house and tried something I&#8217;ve never tried before. But I work hard enough already just to bloody stay alive. So, a ready meal it had to be.<\/p>\n<h3>January 17th: Kids Inventors&#8217; Day<\/h3>\n<p>Not having kids myself, I found this one a bit tricky. It wasn&#8217;t clear what I could do to take part. I considered going up to kids in the street with lots of wires and bolts and demanding they invent something there and then. But obviously that was a terrible idea. So I just watched this Simpsons clip about kids inventing stuff instead.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"616\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rOgS8gTATv8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>It&#8217;s from the Frank Grimes Simpsons episode, which I happen to have recently written about <a href=\"http:\/\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/frank-grimes\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>January 18th: Thesaurus Day<\/h3>\n<p>Made the obvious joke.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"tl\" dir=\"ltr\">Happy Thesaurus Day! <br \/>aka Glossary Day!<br \/>aka Lexicon Day!<br \/>aka Onomasticon Day!<br \/>aka Storehouse of Words Day<br \/>aka Sourcebook Day!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Richards2016?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Richards2016<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Richard Cook (@cookywook) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cookywook\/status\/689030393274724352?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 18, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Ha ha ha.<\/p>\n<h3>January 19th: Tin Can Day<\/h3>\n<p>GOT THE TINNIES IN LADS!!!!!<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Happy Tin Can Day! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/richards2016?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#richards2016<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vGOzXWYYPt\">pic.twitter.com\/vGOzXWYYPt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Richard Cook (@cookywook) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cookywook\/status\/689538831603884032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 19, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>They were consumed.<\/p>\n<h3>January 20th: Disc Jockey Day<\/h3>\n<p>All I could think of for this was a composition I made years and years ago when I thought making music might be something I&#8217;d be any good at.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/11536736&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As I listened back to this, I reflected on how close to the sun I had flown here.

I didn&#8217;t take part. Firstly, I know what a bloody penguin is. Secondly, I HAVE A PLAN AND THE PLAN IS GOOD AND I MUST STICK TO THE PLAN AT ALL COSTS.<\/p>\n<h3>January 21st: Granola Bar Day<\/h3>\n<p>You&#8217;d think this would be easy. So did I. It wasn&#8217;t though???<\/p>\n<p>I started off the day with a literal bowl of granola from good ol&#8217; Graze.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Starting off Granola Bar Day with a bowl of granola <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Richards2016?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Richards2016<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ENkRuD12b5\">pic.twitter.com\/ENkRuD12b5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Richard Cook (@cookywook) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cookywook\/status\/690108204676714497?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 21, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>I then expected to follow this up with a granola bar at the office.

But it was not to be.<\/p>\n<p>I also forgot to buy a granola bar at the shops later.<\/p>\n<p>So I didn&#8217;t actually eat a &#8216;granola bar.&#8217; You wanna call that\u00a0a failure? Huh? You wanna call ME out? You&#8217;ve got some frickin&#8217; nerve and I don&#8217;t like your attitude one bit.<\/p>\n<p>BESIDES,\u00a0I ate enough granola for breakfast for it to count. There was certainly at least one bar&#8217;s worth in that bowl.

Just the title alone is spectacular.<\/p>\n<p>I\u00a0<em>think<\/em> the day is basically supposed to be some kind of &#8216;pay attention to your cat day.&#8217; Like take some time to see if your cat is happy and comfortable, buy them a new toy or something.
