What I did in July 2021

[squirmelia]

I went to an art exhibition in a warehouse, of inflatable things. This included "the world's smallest hand-stitched bouncy castle", a group of sex dolls in a circle in the toilets, giant eyeballs, tongues that moved to touch each other, spaghetti and meatballs, and other oddities.

It was definitely Christmas in July, when we did a 12 Days of Christmas banner and I cheerily sung some of the verses and dressed like a Christmassy elf. We then went to a pub and I sat in a pub garden for the first time since September!

I went to a Douglas Coupland book club on Zoom and we discussed Life After God.

I continued playing weekly games with friends.

I met some new people at the Nest picnic one Saturday.

Another Saturday, I went with friends to two pubs. Two!

I saw my family one Sunday and we walked across fields.

I stared at art in the Orleans House Gallery and there was a portrait made of grass.

I visited the Crypt Gallery and saw the Ben Edge and the Museum of British Folklore: Ritual Britain exhibition and it made me want to go to more of the strange events that happen around the country.

I visited a library for the first time since before the pandemic.

On average, I walked more than 10,000 steps a day in July.

Ingress:

I did a few Ingress banners: around Kennington, Morden Park, Russell Square, central London, etc.

For Ingress Second Sunday, I did a banner around Marylebone/Gower Street/Holborn, ending up at St Paul's.

I went to virtual Ingress First Saturday in Preston.
