Looks good. Is the hat part of the decor?

the red handkerchief proudly displays the bourbon fleur-de-lys

i bought it in the souvenir shop at the monasterio de las huelgas outside burgos in september 2007

the shop seemed to cater for the more conservative and pious sort of customer than yer average truck driver

i'm wearing it in the hope that some good old-fashioned spanish virtues might rub off on me

there are several large trees on each side of our block, we live on the third floor, on a level with the middle of the larger trees ... perhaps the best is a big cedar of lebanon which makes an excellent squirrel playground, and which is the subject of noisy territorial disputes between the crows and the songbirds ... groups of vivid emerald green himalayan parakeets also drop in occasionally ... i've been watching it all through the binoculars with great delight
