You could very well see me in one of these - minus the pipe and suspenders.

The central heating broken Will?!

I wear ball caps in the summer, flat caps in the winter. If it gets very hot I might wear a straight-brimmed hat, and if it gets very cold, I wear something I can pull over my ears. Yesterday, when it was cold here, I wore my Elmer Fudd hat!

Scwewey wabbit.

The central heating broken Will?!

I don't know about Will, but I was just in from snow-throwing.
I have to go out now and scrape so the sun can hit the concrete. It's below 0F, so I'll wear my Thick as a Brick balaclava.

The rally ended yesterday eveningin a cheerful atmosphere.
Her are the two I prefered (...was then still thinking I could get a photography)!
Both based on rum, a fine mix of strength and sweetness with long lasting taste.
Madeleine refers to Proust's madeleine, a cookie that reminded him his youth.


A hint of ginger, tabasco and chocolate for my favorite, so tasty I had to try a second time!.

You're looking good in that picture, Jack. I figure I could hear Ketelbey's In a Monastery Garden!

Best hat I've ever had. Got this winter version for French mountain troops.
It weighs half a pound. It's soft and warm, and keeps the rain and snow off your head.

I have to go with the original Trek for best Sci-Fi series. No one could over-act like Shatner!

Why an Australian Akubra genuine rabbit fur felt hat. The one featured is the Coober Pedy ( after the opal mining town)
Modelled seductively here by world famous male hat model Mekio.
Seriously ...they make an incredibly large range of hats for the country that sports the hottest temps on earth.

I like that one a lot !

 

[Old Engineer]

I'd like to visit, though.
I've received great souvenirs from friends and family that visited Australia: a kangaroo tie, a plastic saltwater croc, and a boomerang.

All 3 of those items are absolute essentials to have , and if the Boomerang actually works , you have hit the Trifecta my friend . Learning to throw a Boomerang is actually pretty easy , but you must keep your eye on the throw.

Ooh..I just found this online. I might have to order one.

I am anxious to see the pictures .

in my closet at Dad's house I still have a red plastic Wham-O boomerang.

When I was secretary of the Rover club I received this Aussie made (pre-India) Land-Rover leather hat. Keeps the head fresh under the sun and dry under rain.

I had an Akubra hat, bought back in the day (late 60's) when Eddie Bauer was really an outfitter.

I did learn to throw it. Had a big park across the street to practice in. Lot of fun!

Sci Fi fans - especially those who enjoyed Firefly and the very fine Battle Star Galactica (2004 -2009) -
Trekies and Whovians too

I highly recommend - DARK MATTER. Sadly, it ends after 3 seasons (some have said - on a "cliff hanger") but we enjoyed it immensely and got enough of the best in the first 3 seasons not to need to get bogged down in what season 4 would have introduced - more dark and less matter. Available on NetFlix - don't know if elsewhere.
