Ugly Hat Day

I had an ugly hat day today. That is to say, I wore the lime-green souvenier hat that my flatmate brought back from his holiday. It actually has beautiful workmanship and is comfortable, with a useful brim, but I'm not a lime-green kind of person. So I matched it with a tartan shirt (violet and turquoise) and my blue swandri, plus the almost standard black knee-britches and knee-high socks. It was refreshing.

Also, I had an interesting time looking at people's feet under the table and observing who wore tiny, pointy shoes, elegant black leather somethings, clunky black boots (me), oxfords, canvas sneakers, or trainers. Actually, two folk had these soft shoes that reminded me a little of bowling shoes - they looked wonderfully comfortable.

To top off my ugly hat day, I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and gorged on sugar, red food colouring, chocolate, and fizzy drink. It seemed appropriate.

That's all.
