Hats, I am discovering, make an unreasonable difference to your experience of weather. Yesterday, there was a vague attempt at rain while I was walking home, with no hat. I felt chilly, rained on, somewhat soaked, and rather put out, despite the fact that I was heading home for a few hours of EVE before watching the first episode of the new season of Torchwood (review coming up on [livejournal.com profile] dukestreet later today).

This morning, I wore my winter hat, a black trilby-sort-of-thing, through the driving rain and nasty winds walking to work. I was warm, comfortable, and felt dry, despite the fact that I was, well, walking to work in the rain.

And yet, a good half of the people I passed had wholly inadequate hoods, scarves tied over their heads, ineffective umbrellas (many of which turned inside out at each street corner), or the old classic of a newspaper over the head. The people who were wearing hats were black, oriental, Polish, or quite old. Hats are not that hard to get - why do Irish people not wear them?

Ooh, I used to have a hat like your pet! It was great. (And when I wasn't wearing it, I could hang it off my handbag by the fastened flaps.) But I lost it. :-(
