Friday 13 August is International Left Handers Day. Wow - is there an International Right Handers Day? Or an International Ambidextrousers Day? No apostrophes day?
I don't have much experience of this, although my elder son Simon, when playing cricket, bowls left handed and bats right handed. About 90% of the world's population is right handed.
Nikolai Leskov wrote The Tale of Cross-eyed Lefty from Tula and the Steel Flea in 1881. Russian composer Rodion Shchedrin wrote an opera The Left-Hander in 2013. Maybe there are lots more left handers in Russia than elsewhere; has anyone ever written a PhD thesis on that?
Tuesday 31 August is National Zoo Awareness Day. Do we really still have zoos? They seem so passé.
Some things to look forward to:
September is designated Bear Necessities Month, organised by the World Society for the Protection of Animals. Do they have other animal puns days? I didn't do it on porpoise Day? Say something amoosing Day? Have a cat nap Day? I'm up for that. I know, these are terrible; give me better!
19 September is Talk Like a Pirate Day. Will you do be doing that? Sing along with their anthem at:

I'll be listening.
Anyone join me on Start Writing a Blog Day?
It takes me all my time marvelling at your inventiveness to dare to start writing one of my own.
