Enticing headgear
Saturday, 27 June 2009
This morning we landed at the Himalaya shop and cafe, a delightful ethnic tea shop full of interesting Tibetan gear, with dead spiritual music playing in the background, incense, candles and the most delicious Arabian tea with fresh mint and cardamon. The owner couldn't have been more hospitable. As the owner left the room Bobo and I sat alone drinking tea, I started to giggle. He looked bemused and I explained it was all I could do to resist doing a billy Connolly tea cosy skit wearing one of the hairy tribal hats on display. And I thought I was so evolved, silly me. Still, the Dalai Lama would no doubt approve of me not taking myself too seriously.

Yeah, but you would need an authentic hairy coat to wear with it.

Oh I just love that Billy Connolly quote and I'm with you on being alone with hats on a wall. Irresistible.

Some headgear is so ridiculous it just screams out to be made fun of. Like bowler hats and sombreros and turbans (sorry, political incorrectness there). And the Dalai Lama is right, anyone who takes themself too seriously is not going to enjoy life (and is also screaming out to be made fun of).

Wouldn't recommend wearing that one for the egg and spoon race.

I'm with Billy there!
Do you ever feel like the mischievious schoolgirl who needs to be taken in hand when you're out with Bobo?

Suburbia: Sorry I haven't been around. The school holidays have begun, so there hasn't been time to blog. I will put my ear plugs in later and get down to some blogging.
