Where's My Hat?

[Tilly2]

On my recent holiday I lost two things, my solitaire diamond ring and my Tilley hat. Mr T bought me another slightly less expensive ring (as it was my birthday whilst we were away), and I bought a 'sort of' Tilley hat. Tilley hats are made in Canada but I couldn't find a shop which sold them.

Anyway, here we are four weeks later and insurance forms have been submitted. I have just hung out some washing and ...there was my ring, in the door seal! I have done at least ten loads of washing since we got back and I always wipe inside the door seal. Today my ring appeared but I still can't find my hat!

was this in any way veg-related?

you might try Tilling some more fields and see what turns up.

[ummmm]

It's in your home because you know where ever you lay your hat and all that....

[jno]

that's true, hence the old saying "home is where the hat is".

[Tilly2]

I can't remember if I sowed any carrots whilst I was on holiday, Jno. I may have done.

Ummmm, perhaps I have another home in Canada? Aren't you a bit young to know that song?

[gness]

Had you registered your hat? Is it then a half price hat you get...though I can't think how you prove it's lost?

I think they once just sent you a new hat but maybe that customer service was abused......x

[Tilly2]

I miss my hat! It was lovely.

[murraymints]

nice you found the ring.. you'll get another hat !

[Tilly2]

I did register it, Gness and I put my name and email address inside. I haven't tried for a replacement. I'll look into that. Thanks for reminding me.

I keep expecting it to arrive in a parcel from Calgary.

[Tilly2]

If the ring can be found, so can the hat. I have faith in St Jude. :-)

[gness]

Calgarians are nice folk....if it's found there you'll get it back.....or a new one free or half price....let me know.....x

[ummmm]

Where ever I lay my hat, that's my home...Paul Young, in the 80's :-)

[Tilly2]

I shall, Gness. It may have been eaten by a bull at the stampede though.

[Tilly2]

That's why I asked if you were too ...young, Ummmm. :-)

[murraymints]

cousin Paul.. was related through marriage.. !!!

The good folk of Anglesey aren't very honest.
I left my jacket on the top of my car with my binoculars in the pocket:-(
I've claimed on the house insurance and the bins are cheaper now than ten years ago.

Tills, have you checked every single pocket of anything which has a pocket?

The thought of a bull s-hatting a hat.....

Ummm, got ear-worm now !! x

[Tilly2]

I checked every single pocket of everything that had a pocket whilst looking for my ring, Alba. I didn't come across the ring or the hat.

[murraymints]

what's a tilly hat look like anyhow ?

[Tilly2]

Did you lose the coat as well, Melv?

[gness]

Albs.....bulls and cows can eat all sorts....one ate the power supply plug from our caravan in a field in Ireland.......we searched all the pats and sure enough....it turned up.....
MrG was taking it apart to clean it and cut his hand......twenty seven miles we had to go for medical treatment..... :-(
