Our Sue is a very clever lady - she not only helped us decide that we wanted to exchange/swap Towels - but she also had it fall on the Towel Day - May 25th.


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 honor.

Hehehe - now we know much more.

Never heard of it over here in Aus. I thought it was just a date picked because it was the 25th like December 25th, Lady Day 25th etc. Love Chris
