I find my first hat is poo picking one and animal feeding hat, then its cleaning and loads of little DIY jobs......errrrrrrr, I am so bad at NOT reading labels, I bought some foam filler and just sprayed it in a hole we had made to inspect a void....blinking stuff went all over my husbands top and my hands are now sticking to the keys...so I shall now spend a while getting it all off......later its the laundry hat and the business one and of course the dog walking and the logging hat and finally the chef hat and always the TAS hat....Oh and

I only wear one hat, have to for I've become a bit photosensitive in my dotage and easily get sun burnt  .. it's made in Vietnam & is called a Pith Hat .

 I can do anything whilst wearing it but because I'm  zapped most folk try to take the pith out of me when I wear it .  :roflanim:
