June 21st 2015. Summer Solstice. First day of Summer. The longest day. Fathers Day in the UK.

None of these is the reason today is a special day. Nope.

It’s actually World Giraffe Day.  Just let that sink in a moment.  WORLD Giraffe Day. Not national. Not even International. World.

All inclusive, all giraffes, everywhere.

Who doesn’t love a giraffe? I bloody love a giraffe, I do.

Giraffes are wise. Steady.  Dependable. Always there when you need them. I get that some of you have Dads for that. I don’t. But I do have giraffes. Lots of ’em. Giraffes are everywhere.

And these are my favourites…

I’m considering getting another….

So for all of you that don’t have a Dad you can depend on – here’s a pair of giraffes just for you.
Happy World Giraffe Day one and all.

Come on Apple. The campaign for a giraffe emoji starts here!
