Have you ever had one of those times where everything seems to contrive to go against you? There's been a number of issues that are giving me grief of late. One in particular comes from my lack of techno know how. Haven't got a clue on all sorts of things that for most people seem like, second nature. This one problem stems from PayPal. I needed to pay Esther for my latest hat. Tina, my wife, understands and uses PayPal. She sent Esther her payment in Euros. It didn't arrive. Tina re-checked and found that she had missed the letter 'H' out of Esther's name. She then e-mailed PayPal and explained her mistake. Paypal agreed that payment didn't go through and the transaction was cancelled.

Then the problem started, Tina repaid Esther's bill, but in a moment of probably panic, she paid it in Stirling. I needed to send Esther a few Euros to make up the balance, but she got paid. PayPal then invoiced Tina for both the payment in Euros and the payment in Stirling. Tina got it sorted and was unfazed. I was furious, how can they say that a transaction is cancelled and then charge for it?

In a pm between Esther and myself I had asked her to check her account in case she received both payments, she hadn't of course, but she quickly picked up on my p*ssed off vibes. At the time, Tina was sorting the problem, the lady in Belgium was cheering me up no end. So thanks to Esther, and thanks to Tina for sorting out this unnecessary grief. Here's our favourite Belgium milliner, being her madcap best.

Your hat swallowed up half my head. But glad to hear it made you smile!

Mighty Monday morning (for a few more minutes here, at least) Mateys! The hats continue the high standards today. Nothing less than EXCELLENT!!

This weekend, I had the opportunity to attend a beautiful, if not too humid afternoon wedding on Cape Cod at the summer home of a member of the band of geriatrics (tongue in cheek, here, for sure) known as "Aerosmith."

The wedding and setting were as beautiful as the bride could have wished for, and everyone was on their best behavior, almost. The evening was rounded out by him joining the wedding band for a rendition of "Sweet Emotion." Lovely night was had by all, but even in the most posh of venues, never put down a Panama hat you care about if there's alcohol being served...

Did I mention HUMIDITY?!!! The ladies were more bothered by their frizzed up hair than the mosquitoes, but not even twelve plagues could have spoiled this event!!

That's so funny, Charlie. Steven Tyler grew up on Little Lake Sunapee a stones throw from where Sophie and Alex were married. When the kids were little, there was a children's dance every Wednesday. A pianist played for musical chairs, relay races, the Alley Kat... he was never introduced but he had awesome command of the old upright. Years later we learned that he was Steven Tyler's dad. Donna wrote to Steven's sister suggesting that if he was in the neighborhood, we'd love to have him come by for the wedding. Of course we didn't hear back. So cool that you had a Tyler sighting. You and the panama are looking fabulous as always.
