Can’t I just play Populous or Godus instead?
I’ll just stick with Cities Skylines.

Today is:
Peculiar People Day - A day to celebrate the weird, the wonderful, and the wacky people in our lives. Today is a day to look for the good in your peculiar acquaintances, and to celebrate their quirkiness. And let’s be honest, if you’re reading this it will probably be a self-celebration for you too!
Bittersweet Chocolate Day - Another food related celebration. This time it’s for true dark chocolate. No, not that namby pamby milk chocolate stuff (that has its day in February). We are talking about the real deal stuff here - 70%, 80%, 90%, dark, bitter chocolate. Get your fill of dark chocolate straight off the slab, or soften the blow by pouring melted chocolate over vanilla ice-cream, or even some choc-chip cookies and a warm hot chocolate drink to help wash them down.
Trying to think of a way to combine today’s two celebrations, and coming up blank. The one thought I did have involved chocolate body paint, public performance art, and a high likelihood of arrest. So, let’s have your suggestions instead. Have a super Sunday!

Today is:
Kiss A Ginger Day - Started in 2009 as an anti-bullying celebration of red-headed people around the world, in response to the less appealing “Kick a Ginger Day”. Ultimately, people who have issues with our ginger-topped friends are jealous. Jealous that redheads don’t go grey, and jealous that redheads are so rare - only 2% of the population have red hair, and that’s declining. Send the gingers in your world some (socially distant!) love today, and celebrate all things ginger.
Poetry At Work Day - An initiative started in 2013 by Tweetspeak Poetry and Every Day Poems, Poetry At Work Day celebrates the creatives in our workplaces, and encourages all of us to add some creativity into our work days. The idea is to both find poetry at work (poetry is all over the workplace) and bring more of it in to work.
Have a totally tubular Tuesday!
So… When is the kicking day?
.- -. --. … .
That is me apparently
November some time. But we’re all about equality in these parts - going to make it Kick Anyone With Hair Day. No reason that the gingers should get all the kickings .
Of course it has to be in No Shave November…
The second-last character looks off. That looks like “S” unless I’m missing something?
The only morse code I know is S.O.S.:: … — …
I can teach you another easy one. The famous Nokia sms tone is … / - - / … because that spells sms.
I used Angie so no idea
Back in the day, we used to have a charity rubber duck race where you could buy a rubber duck, each with a unique number that you get on a ticket. If your duck wins, you win <whatever>
, and the proceeds go to some charity.
Apparently some years ago, a bunch of the ducks decided “Duck it… Let’s ditch the course and do our own thing” and breached the barriers.
Horror movie!

Today is:
Dress Up Your Pet Day - Is there anything cuter than a dog in dungarees? Or a kitten in actual mittens? Started in 2009 by Colleen Paige, an animal behaviorist, Dress Up Your Pet Day is intended to be a way for pet owners and their fur babies to bond. On the absolute condition that it does not cause your pets any stress (mine hate the idea, and flatly refuse to be cute in clothes), dress them up and show them off. Pics please!
Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day - Tracing it’s origins back to the Romanian Jewish community, the pastrami sandwich has become a New York City culinary staple. Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day is a celebration of the mouthwatering edible treat. This delicious delicacy is traditionally created using thin slices of piping hot pastrami served on mustard slathered rye bread, and topped with fresh, crunchy pickle slices. But chefs of all statures love to put their own twist to it, and the internet is full of recommended variations. (Click the link, see for yourself.)
And now I’m hungry!
Dress up your pet. Eat a hot pastrami sandwich. Both of these are wholesome activities that could even be combined into a dress up dinner party for you and your pets. Go get yourselves all dressed up, and have a terrific Thursday!
