Another day, another hat, because right now the only variety in my daily routine is in what I wear and what I eat. The sad life of the revising student!
I dressed smartly according to my housemates, who thought I was in fact on placement today, I think it's the recently polished boots and indulging in some co-ordination. I added the hat for some panache and to jazz things up a little. Once again, strolling around the union shop after lunch, I felt like I was an 80s high-schooler, especially whilst holding my large Coca-Cola branded cardboard sippy cup with stripey straw (I get the burger meal deal which involves a 0.5 l of pop every lunchtime).
I'm also cursing BBC weather for lying (once again) about the prevalence and timing of rain showers. Straw hats should never be worn in the rain, there's even a label in my hat that says so and as I was walking in expecting cloud, the heavens opened and I had to hide it under my jacket. The wind was also quite strong so I hat to hold it down. However, unlike my other hats, I've sewed elastic into this one so I can loop it around my chin. My housemate said I should invest in a ribbon and for the time being loop it around the back of plait as it was unsightly and childish. She has a point...
