The Doctor and I are celebrating Towel Day. Towel Day is a Geek holiday that celebrates The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy author, Douglas Adams. A towel is significant in the novel as it is used for shelter, warmth, or to lie on while at the beach. Adams’s strongest advice was “Never go anywhere without your towel.”
And as The Tenth Doctor observed, “There’s a lot of things you need to get across this universe. Warp drive… wormhole refractors… You know the thing you need most of all? You need a hand to hold.”
Happy Towel Day!
Whatcha doin?
Happy towel day :-)
ReplyDeleteI´m trying to reach my bank via phone... have you ever tried this? Argh....!
Yes, but it doesn't take long to reach a human
DeleteI didn't know there was a day for towels. That book is such a classic I guess some geeks would definitely wear their towels today!
ReplyDeleteI'm wearing my 42 shirt today.
DeleteWe are celebrating the fact we have had 4 significant rainfall events in 48 hours!!! Finally!!! Now the weeds in my yard are going to grow well... like weeds...uuughh!! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteWeeds are just plants and flowers that aren't popular 😉
DeleteSounds like good advice to me! ;)
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteThat's a good idea! I had a nice day with friends, apple and walnut cake, and a meal in a restaurant this evening. Not bad at all! Valerie
