I don't think I can express how much I love my new hat.

I mean, the scarf and mittens are great, too, (though I have realized that one of the problems with mittens on a string is that you have to put them on before you put on your coat, and if you then have to go to the bathroom, you have to be hyper-alert so as not to end up merrily dipping them into the toilet), but the hat is just glorious.

I came to work yesterday and I couldn't wait for The Raccoon to see it, because I knew that she would laugh and laugh, but she was off sick. I got good reaction from everyone else, though. The part-timer said, firmly, that the hat is definitely me.

I think that it is a good thing that Katie isn't my daughter, because if I was where I was supposed to be in my life, with kids her age, they would be completely humiliated by me in that getup.

Here there are, by the way, though the colours are wrong. My scarf is blue and mint striped, as are my gloves, and my hat is orange and pink.

Aren't they wonderful? I walk down the street and I see people in their sombre winter getup, their hats in navy and grey and rust, and I feel sorry for them. Where are the bright colours? Where are the ear flaps? Where is the pompom as big as a fist?

The poor dears...

What is your favourite winter wear? Are you silly or staid?

And we're still talking about spending money on crap, wanting, live sports, being thankful, and Thanksgiving and recipes.
