One’s a pant in the country

I was struggling to find inspiration for today’s blog, so went online to ask people for astonishing, moving or fascinating facts about, well, anything.

Here’s what I learned:

Octopuses have testicles in their heads
Clare’s cat is a stinky, trumpy, naughty and mischievous devil all wrapped up in a beautiful coat of furriness
A tree allows a giraffe ten minutes to feed before it starts to release tannin into its leaves, which makes the leaves taste so bitter that the giraffe moves on
Today was a very big day for British sport
Daniel’s 88 year-old Dad asked him to take him to the doctor for viagra after he started dating a woman he met at his wife’s funeral
There was a Dragon boat race in York today
Sylvia knows a lot of very bad jokes
The first heavy metal knitting championship has just taken place in Finland? (It’s heavy metal - where else?!)
It is very difficult to find purple socks
Traditional chef hats have exactly 100 pleats
The lump in my mouth is not cancer. (I learned this fact in person yesterday, but I haven’t really had a chance to process the fact...)

  1. OMG you must have been so worried about your health, having to deal with that on top of all the crap you've faced this week is so tough. So glad it's not cancer and so sorry a bunch of IG strangers have done all they can to hurt you at the same time. Sending best wishes to you both.

  2. Very glad to hear you don't have cancer! As for the purple socks, I think you and Nathan have lots of supporters who would gladly knit them for you! Sending healing Cyber hugs!
