It's a 'Good News Monday' kinda Monday 🥳🥳🥳

[Ben Hyde @Surfmonkey78]

Busy day of parachute games training for our awesome @DynamixCoop and @CircusEruption team, ready to get playful in the @glastotandc fields!!! WoopWoop @glastonbury here we come!!!

[Ben Hyde @Surfmonkey78]

@glastotandc It's been a while since we got the crowd to launch a fireman 6ft in the air, had Bez do a little dance under our parachute or convinced 200 people to lay down on the ground as a racetrack for our giant inflateable globe. Can't wait to do it all again :-)

[Ben Hyde @Surfmonkey78]

Woohoo! Volunteering with @DynamixCoop for the umpteenth year and our set times for @glastonbury parachute games and general playfulness in the @glastotandc fields are live (Thurs, Fri & Sat)

Word of the day is 'maw-worm' (19th century): one who insists that they have done nothing wrong, despite evidence to the contrary.

But we take solace in the fact that it won't leave this house (send MTG cards and chocolate!) and we've done all we can to help make it better for others, from mask-wearing to fundraising for charities like @covidaidcharity
Stay safe, stay groovy 😘

After 2 years of dodging the 'Vid, it's finally made it's way into the house :-( Feels like we've been playing on Easy Mode in Wales up until now, then 2 days into Hard Mode (where the NPC's can lick faces) we're down a Cleric and i've got to hold the fort solo.

@_simeonsmith @HowtheWoodMoves Was is it just sat there like a surly space teenager for billions of years before 1774, being nagged by the older planets?
Saturn - "Common Pluto, you've got to orbit like the rest of the planets"
Pluto- "Ughhhh, okayyyyy. I'm DOING it, SEE" *Begins slowly trudging. "So unfair"

If you're not sat on the toilet at either 2:22pm or 10.22 pm, then I don't think you're taking today's date seriously enough.

Quite horrified to learn that Cake is rife at @number10gov, so much so that the staff their think it's funny to taunt our great and glorious leader by "ambushing him with cake" at a work event.

Stay safe people, do your research.
