This has been an unusually cool May. I don’t object to that particularly, but normally the Spring wind has backed off by now. Instead it has carried on, and in fact has been starting up first thing in the morning the past few days. And that means…

In Spring my last decision before the long morning walky is ‘hoodie or not?’ Before the sun comes up ‘hoodie’ is definitely the right call, but things warm up fast after that. Unless the wind is blowing hard, which it wasn’t down around the Lair but definitely was on the ridgetop. Shouldn’t have taken it off. Hope the coat rack is nice and warm. Ah, well. Carry on…

…says Tobie, who wanted to know why the hell I stopped suddenly to fiddle with my camera for no apparent reason. Let’s go, Uncle Joel, you’re the one always pestering me not to dawdle.
















































But with hoodies you can always wrap them around your waist!
In the second pic, it looks like Tobie is laughing “Haha Unca Joel, I’m wearing my coat! All the time! Even when it’s hot… Hey, waitamminit.”
