*TWO DAY WARNING*

Every December, starting on the 1st and running to the 18th (my birthday)...and sometimes to the 25th...the #FestivalOfMolk runs at full steam.

It's a daily celebration of life, looking at all the things that might otherwise be mundane and making them fun. All because it's the build up to my birthday. Every day there's something to enjoy, and you can participate where you are too.

Feel free to join in, and remember to use the hashtag!

This is your 10 day warning for the 2022 edition of the #FestivalOfMolk - it's going to be quite fun this year!
