#30DaysWild and the #YesBus
It seems like creating Hashtags by ramming short words together to make longer more exciting words seems to be the order of the day. So today I'm going to write a #SuperBlog and my #StuffAndTings.
I wonder how hard it is to get a # noticed on Twitter? Maybe I should start one. OK, I want all of you to get on board and tweet the hashtag #jondoolan. Let's see if we can get it trending!
Ok, back to the blog. Other than getting my books published (woohoo!!!) on various platforms including Amazon, Kindle and Kobo (which is an anagram of 'book' don't you know, and is apparently massive in Canada) I've mostly been spending the week supporting 2 causes.
#30DaysWild
30DaysWild is an initiative run by the Wildlife Trusts, one of the key protectors of wildlife in the UK. Each June they encourage you to go out and do something wild each day. It could be something simple like putting up a bird house that you made yourself...
Or something more advanced like going on your first pony trek EVER...
Either way you've got to do something wild each day in June, like some sort of weird wilderness advent calendar, only with less chocolate.
It's not too late to get involved. Sign up here.
#YesBus
The brainchild of the indomitable Dave Cornthwaite and his engineering buddy, Chris Barnes. Like beavering wizards they've been converting an old Isle of Wight bus into a multi-use eco-friendly co-working hammock-slinging mobile space. It's even got a wood burning stove!
It currently has some really cool robo dinosaurs all over the outside but for some unknown reason they're going to paint over them. *sob*
Anyway, this week they launched their crowdfunding campaign to raise enough dough to finish the job. Hopefully they raise just enough to get all the trimmings done but not enough to have the dinos re-painted!
Definitely check out Dave and Chris' video.
I've donated, but if YOU can help in anyway definitely go along to the crowdfunding page and drop a few quid their way. Cheer m'dears!
That's about it for this week. See you on the flipside!
(note to self. You definitely over used the exclamation mark with week!!!)
