Tsuro must be the best game in the world then, going by my daughter’s evil laugh when she knocks you off the board!

Happy 100th birthday to the irreplaceable Sir David Attenborough.
His autobiography “Life On Air” is amazing. He basically invented the wildlife documentary (cluelessly and in much danger) in the 1950s. Truly a human whose impact has been profoundly good.
There’s a petition to make 8th May “David Attenborough Day”, which seems like a nice idea.

I had a new fridge delivered yesterday.
While I was cutting down the cardboard packaging this morning I found a machine screw.
I’ve no idea what/where it’s come from and it’s driving me a bit mad.

I bought some new liquid chalk. I couldn’t get the stuff I have been using, so different stuff. The chalk is great, but it is scented. Who the Cthulhu wants scented chalk?

If I knew why people want liquid chalk, I could perhaps venture a guess, but in the absence of that data, I have no frame of reference which allows for speculation, here.

Chalk is used as a drying agent and friction improver on the hands of people who are trying to hold onto things that are not always easy to hold onto, like gymnasts, climbers, etc. most of the time, powdered chalk is used, as it is vastly cheaper. If you have ever been around a chalk board, you can guess one of the problems with it.
Liquid chalk is chalk (as magnesium carbonate, usually) dispersed in alcohol. Put a dollop on your palm, and rub your hands together, and you get a uniform coating of chalk on them, with no dust.
Liquid chalk is used either as a supplement (usually a base coat, that can more evenly cover the hands), and where the mess of powder chalk is undesirable. My gym doesn’t allow chalk, so I use the liquid stuff when I want to do grip dependent things. (Today was one hand dead hangs and towel pull ups.)

Chalk dust in the air is a real problem in climbing gyms, so use of liquid chalk is much appreciated.

Well, there you go. If it’s dispersed in alcohol, someone, somewhere is drinking it. And scented probably also means flavoured. So, it’s simple. It’s for trendy chalk cocktails.

They need the scent to find it. The first martini made them blind.
