Hat Week Day 5: Tricorner Hat
Hello and welcome to the recommencement (that word is a lot longer than I thought it was) of hat week. Today we look at probably the strangest hat in my collection: A tri-corner hat. I had fancied one for ages, but the ones that I found online were either too...
Hat Week Hiatus: Hat Hair
Hello there and welcome to the hat week hiatus day. I'd like to take a few moments of your time to talk about hat hair. My hair has been getting steadily longer since the last time I cut it, which was pretty early on this year... or maybe it was last year... I don't...
Hat Week Day 4: Ushanka
Welcome to day 4 of hat week. Today's hat is a much more seasonal number, generally a winter hat and very, very snuggly warm on the head. I call it the Mad Russian. It has ear flaps that can be worn up or down: there's a little clip that connect them either on the...
Hat Week Day 3: Bowler hat
Welcome to day three of hat week, and day one of Dave going on about his injuries. That's right, this morning I fell while walking down the hill. I twisted my ankle, cut my elbow, there's some swelling in my knee and my shoulder is absolutely killing me. But enough...
Hat Week Day 2: Cowboy Hat
Ah hat week. I've been putting it off for so very long. I've been waiting for a new hat purchase to mark the occasion, but alas, I haven't been able to get my hands on one. In fact the last hat I got was for Christmas. I say hat, it was 3 hats. Including today's hat!...
Hat Week Day 1: Fedora
Hello there followers, and welcome to Hat Week with The Mad Carpenter. Now, just a note about hat week; it will be longer than a week because I have more than 7 hats. I think I have 11... either way this is act as a sort of inventory of hats and a vehicle to informing...
Barbecue Tuesday
I've called today Barbecue Tuesday because I'm tired of people typing BBQ, and not actually knowing how to spell the word Barbecue. That and I made myself a barbecue steak for dinner. Just slather it in the sauce and fry it up. Fry on high at first to seal in the...
New Project Monday
Hello there my dozens of fans, readers and well wishers. After getting back to Letterkenny with my workbench, the rest of my tools and clean laundry (Thanks for the lift Ma) I got started on a small project. Not going to tell you what that project is yet, but I'll...
Sunday Sunday
Ah you've got to love a nice relaxing Sunday. Well it wasn't so relaxing because my cough is so bad that I've had to stay an extra day at home, and head I'll head back to my place in Letterkenny on Monday. Hope you've all had a great day, and now hold your breath and...
The Saturday of a barking cough and not making a movie
Planned on making a fake movie trailer today. It was a trailer for the hotly anticipated "The Daughter of the Son of Lawnmower man", the mowingest movie of the summer. Just when you thought it was safe to go back among... well, very near to the begonias in a striped...
Friday 20th
Friday morning, everything was fine. Cough was all but gone, took a nice picture in the sunlight coming through my window. Saddled up all my laundry because our dryer is busted, paid the electricity bill, which to my surprise was surprisingly low. 54 euros for 2...
Thursday 19th
Just watched The Jerk starring Steve Martin. I now know the difference between shit and shinola. It's a shoe wax just so you know. But go watch the movie anyway. Improving on the health front. Going home tomorrow.
