A change of plans

As I do every Saturday, I planned on heading into town to do all my in-town activities. However, my taxi to the train station couldn't get to my house, because all the roads were blocked due to some big race. So, I stayed home instead and made myself a cloth hat. It is mostly done, but I'm not sure if I like the lining. So, I'm going to get Joel's opinion before I finish it.

Lovely weather

It is lovely here now. I've got a lot of stuff that needs doing, but for the moment, I feel like I'm on top of it. I did some hat mockups and decided to try making a bucket hat first, since it is simple and the brim doesn't need much structural integrity. I'll make it light on the outside and a bit darker on the inside. We'll see how it works out.

I've also been reading a cool new book, called Colony One. It is a space colonization book, but so far seems better than the other ones I've read. I don't hate the characters, it is exciting without being stressful, and it isn't presenting such a depressing future that I don't want to read it. So, that's pretty good. Hopefully, it will continue to be that way.

Hat!

You know what I need? I need a hat. I don't actually look terribly good in hats, though, and they often just make my head hotter. However, since I can't use a parasol, I need a hat. So, we are going to try based on extensive testing in the past (me trying on hats and Joel saying that most of them don't look good) to come up with a hat that works. I'm going to try mocking some up with cardboard to see how they work out. Stay tuned to the exciting results!
