Two small items of note:
First, I finally sent off the dead hat to Tilley on the weekend. We'll see how long it takes for a replacement to get sent to me.
Secondly, I caved and purchased a replacement, because I need something for the trip in November, and walking around in the rain without a hat is bugging me.
Funny thing is, Nathan now teases me about the hat: "Cowboy hat! Cowboy hat! Yippie Ki Yi Yay!" I guess the two months I have been without it are such a long time in his world that he doesn't remember me wearing one all the time.
