May 31: Hat

you might have seen me wearing this in some of LA’s recent pics. My new hat. A little while ago, I decided that I’d had enough of getting my ears and neck sunburned through the wearing of baseball caps and that a hat with a brim that goes all the way round was in order. Call it a coming of age. Now it doesn’t matter which direction the sun is coming from, my head stays cool in the shade. As a sun hat, it beats a baseball cap every time!
Now what I’d really like is a Stetson. No, really! Think Brad Pitt in Thelma & Louise. Now that’s a cool look! Except here in Blighty I’d get laughed at every where I went. You just couldn’t do it. A Burberry baseball cap (!) yes, a Stetson, no. OK, I’ll admit to enjoying Bob Harris’s Country Hour on the radio, but that’s as far as it goes. I don’t want the boots, the shirts or the line dancing, but I do like the hats.

LOL! Yes, you in a Stetson... I think you should do it.

Although it got sat on by a dog and is a bit squished now, and it's not really a stetson either .. but hey ho
