If you like a nice Argentinian Malbec you can have a double toast to celebrate May Revolution Day, as May 25th is indeed also a public holiday in Argentina, celebrating the famous 1810 revolution!Whatever your preference, why not rejoice in this day, celebrate with a tipple, it may even help remove recent memories of over indulgence in data protection activities.
Don't panic!
If wine is not your thing, you may be looking for something more comforting to provide solace and support. Those with a penchant for sci-fi may be celebrating 25th May as the renowned ‘Towel Day’. Followers of the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy can globally be found by walking around with a nice fluffy towel – as according this infamous work of Douglas Adams “A towel, … is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons.”
