A reminder to all hoopy froods that Towel Day is only a week away! Towel Day is an annual celebration on the 25th of May, as a tribute to the late author Douglas Adams (1952-2001). On that day, fans around the universe proudly carry a towel in his honour. And remember, Don't Panic!

Yep! I am Future Girl!

I checked out the linen closet but it's so precariously stacked in there lately I'm a bit loathe to mess with it or I'll spend the day juggling towels. (of course the one that I felt was suitably festive enough for the occasion is wedge right at the back! )

We were just musing that we might go get a packet of potato crisps and eat them instead, more our kind of tribute!

Default Goodbye to Towel Day 2009

As we say goodbye to this year's celebration, please enjoy these two things. First a delightful story about an encounter Douglas Adams had in a British train station (http://everydaysaholiday.org/2008/05/25/towel-day/ - broken link)
And a collection of photos from around the globe (over 1700 as I write): Flickr: Towel Day 2009 (http://www.flickr.com/search/?s=rec&q=towelday&m=tags - broken link)
