I don’t wear hats as a rule . In winter I prefer those woolly beanie hats to anything else, but these are purely functional. I don’t go for sports hats. I think in older men, they are generally worn in an effort to look younger or to cover baldness.
I have a big head…that’s another reason I don’t wear hats, so this morning when Dorothy ran over with a black cap in her mouth, I was all ready to return it to the bench from which she had taken it.
I had seen the cap on Monday where it had been placed by a Walker thinking it’s owner would retrace their steps to retrieve it. Two days later it was still there.
I put it on.
It was cool with dew and that felt good
And Cinderella, it was a perfect fit.
I’ve kept it !
It makes me look a tiny bit younger and it covers my admittedly very small bald spot.
Seeing I have to be at Mowgli ( https://www.mowglistreetfood.com/ ) in Liverpool by 6 ish, I’m staying home today to do gardening.
Finally big Good luck to the powerhouse which is Cheryl R who has organised tonight’s Bingo and cake sale at the Memorial Hall tonight. She’s just collected my rather banal banana loaves and is offering lotus Caramel Sponges for sale
Bloody lovely
No point getting a hat unless you get a head first.
ReplyDeleteI will think about this one
DeleteLooks good …. I love your glasses. XXXX
ReplyDeleteAmazon £4.50
DeleteYes it's a keeper! Looks good and will keep the rain off.
ReplyDeleteWendy (Wales)
I will buying trackie bottoms next
DeleteLooks good on you. Looks like you are in for a treat.
ReplyDeleteExcellent find! I'd have kept it too. Does LFC stand for Liverpool Football Club? (Just a guess.)
ReplyDeleteYes…I believe it does
DeleteI'll wear a knit cap in winter to keep my head warm, and a ball cap the rest of the year when my hair looks like a bird's nest and I have to go out.
ReplyDeleteNo one needs to see that!
At least u have hair
DeleteSuits you. My daughter would approve, she's a big Liverpool FC fan. Hope the bingo and cake sale goes well and makes loads of dosh! xx
ReplyDeleteIf it makes me look younger I’m all in favour
DeleteYou're pinning your colours to the mast with that cap but slightly resembling Klopp now so that's all right then!
ReplyDeleteI had to google klopp…..I’m not a footie fan
DeleteI'm not a hat person, they make my ears stand out.
ReplyDeleteI have hamster ears
DeleteThe hat looks great on you and I really like the new (to me) glasses! Looking sharp!
ReplyDeleteSharp ! Lol I wish
DeleteLet's hope you don't encounter any Everton fans.
ReplyDeleteMy mother came from Everton ….
DeleteThe cap looks good on you, but honestly, LFC, you should be ashamed of yourself!
DeleteThere is only ONE football team in Liverpool worth supporting, and it's Everton!
A man who lives in our road wears a beret, pulled way down at the back of his head, presumably to hide a bald patch. He wears it every day, rain, sun, snow, every single day, the same beret, it must stink by now! We don't know his name, so in this house he's called 'Hatty'! (Not 'Hattie' for obvious reasons!). X
You look like an American fisher, shooter and rooter anti vaxxer. I suppose such a person is someone's fantasy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a back handed compliment
DeleteFantasy? So LFC = Lustful Fantasy Companion (although unfortunately LFC does lend itself to alternative and much less pleasant possibilities, but I decided to restrain myself for at least my first comment after a lengthy break)
DeleteI like the hat! Incognito!
ReplyDeleteShould I be wearing dark glasses?
DeleteLooks great John-I like it-hope you don't mind the suggestion but have you considered a sharper outline to your beard x
ReplyDeleteDo I?
DeleteTake no notice of the beard comment John, your beard looks great. I noticed on your recent photo with Alex that your beard looked very trim and tidy and smart. You're looking good.
DeleteThere's always someone who has to pull you down isn't there?
Flis never pulls me down xx
DeleteI think it is worth mentioning as the person who occasionally frequents upstairs face can appear unkempt if not challenged x
DeleteOh, this is a yes.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. I approve.
I also like the glasses.
XOXO
Lol ….I’m enjoying the attention
DeleteI look like hell in a ball cap but I wear one if my hair is particularly greasy on a particular day and I have to go out in public. TMI? Your cap, on the other hand, looks good on you!
ReplyDeleteShould I turn it around redneck style lol
DeleteNO!!! Please do NOT do that ... will just make you look stupid! LOL
DeleteI was joking
DeleteI like the hat. With the glasses you're rocking a sort of Spike Lee vibe. Nice.
ReplyDeleteAm I going trendy in my old age?
DeleteSuits you sir!
ReplyDeleteThank you good lady
DeleteYour face is noticeably thinner in today's photo and I like the hat! Nice glasses, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, the lotus Caramel sponge looks delicious. Will you buy one?
It's interesting that Liverpool has "street food". Is there a ferry to Liverpool or do you drive over a bridge to get there?
Enjoy your day!
I usually drive to hooton then travel into the city by train
Deleteand John if you see a man you fancy-sparkle at him x
ReplyDeleteLFC could stand for "Looking fabulous, Chap!" The cap suits you! :)
ReplyDeleteYou can come again
DeleteLooking good. The hat is a good find and definite keeper. With Cheryl's guidance, the bingo and cake sale sounds like it's coming together well.
ReplyDeleteThank u
DeleteHat looks good, and will shade your face and prevent you burning...great addition to the wardrobe.
ReplyDeletePut me down for some of the lotus sponges...they look gorgeous!
She made 900£ not bad eh
DeleteI don't usually wear hats either, though I always wore a baseball cap when I was in Australia to protect myself against the extreme heat. You'd be foolish not to.
ReplyDeleteIt's the National dress and formal ware in oz
DeleteI wear hats in winter. Occasionally at other times. My head size runs small so many adult hats are too big, and some children's hats are too childish for me to wear unless i choose to look ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteAt my local free bulletin board group on facebook, a member posted she had a very warm winter hat that was a tad too small. It was listed as small adult size, but too small for her. It fit me perfectly and will be a boon when I shovel snow this winter.
I wish I had a smaller head....
DeleteNo John. Remember the figure. Enjoy your day. Oh and the hat looks fantastic - you look younger, trendier and definitely more handsome.
ReplyDeleteThe good thing about this style of brimmed hat is that it can keep the rain off your glasses. Also, it looks good on you!
ReplyDeletePractical and sexy
DeleteI have been wearing my cap a lot recently.
ReplyDeleteLet's see a photo
DeleteI like you in the hat.
ReplyDeleteI like you in yours
DeleteThat hat makes you look like a cross between Steven Spielberg and Ernest Hemingway.
ReplyDeleteThat will do me
DeleteI meant to say 'love-child'.
DeleteThat will do too
DeleteI don't like hats much either, but as the hair thins I find myself having one around just in case.
ReplyDeleteI'm envious. I don't eat out very often but Mowgli is my favourite. I hope you had a wonderful time. I also hope the Bingo went well. X
ReplyDeleteFFS London has done something to you besides the water infection.
ReplyDeleteI look good , admit it
DeleteWhoever chucked the hat away did the right thing it's a Liverpool FC hat. That would never get over the threshold of this house!
ReplyDeleteSad
