Today's hat, a fur felt dark grey cap with a discreet red furfelt bow. A success in my travels today. Exchanged nods with an appreciative KLM captain, as I entered the plane and as I was leaving he said "I like your hat!". Nice. In addition KLM pilots still wear caps, the way it should be.
Before boarding, the guy at the security check said "bonito gorro"... argh one of my pet peeves is people calling hats "gorros" instead of "sombreros". A "gorro" is a wool cap, not a hat, but 90% of people use the wrong word... why?!! Does the same thing happen in México I wonder, Rodolfo?
Oh, and left great weather in Barcelona for miserable one in Amsterdam where it's currently snowing... ah well... you win some you lose some!

I hate it, it does happen "que bonito Gorrito", ja ja ja, I tell them "gorritos are made of old newspapers and used to be worn by construction workers, this is a hat, got it?"

If being sick wasn't bad enough my computer decided to give up the ghost today. So very brief appearance here today.

I'm not capable of writing the long brand name of this cap, suffice it to say the Norwegian cap.

I've been sitting around today in my heavy wool pants, pile lined lambswool sweater and wool melton bomber jacket. And I'm still cold.

And then I can't even find the right forum to post in. Still might not be the right one, this being a cap.

No worries, we will chalk it up to delirium:) Good looking cap!

That hat is a hoot! Love how the bow is the statement. Great pin as well!

Ugh.

Sorry Michael. Hope that you and your computer feel better ASAP.

Great cap!

Stay warm.

Wonderful and elegant homburg, love the colours! Is that license plate a real one or just to hang on the wall? I agree anyway, 2016 sucked... I dread 2017...
Happy to see that in your true form you apparently have the same headsize ;)
Thanks, Kuki.

That's my real license plate.

Yeah... 2016 seemed so bad that it was absurd. And bad in important "lifey" ways, not political garbage. One of the best ways for me to deal with absurdity is to laugh like hell at it. But I must say that while it was a terrible year in many, many ways... I learned a lot and grew a lot (despite evidence to the contrary [emoji6]). Those are good things.

Here's hoping that neither I, nor anyone else, will feel compelled to get a "17SUCKD" plate at the end of this year.

Enjoy.
