Eat Cake Like a Pirate Day!

[Teresa Edgerton]

Very true, Judge. From the fact that we already had the pirate hats, you can probably guess what sort of functions we do attend.

But, but…as I am a sound engineer who doesn't work in public broadcast, 'tis evident I am a private ear. And without so much as a tricorne hat to make the point (and the point and the point) Not so much as a so'wester.

The customs officials will think "There's a crazy English tourist", not "behold the bold corsair"

The best I can manage is wrap a scarf round my head, and carry a budgie (pieces of five, pieces of three and a half) and hope they don't take me for an arab…

Cake looks delicous and the kids adorable. Can't believe they're now 4. I remember when they were first born.

I have a panama and something akin to a ushanka (уша́нка), respectively from M&S and, I think, 1960s' Bulgaria. Holes are beginning to appear in the former; the latter has lost the little strip of material holding the flaps together, which makes its use in all but the coldest (UK) weather a study in looking a bit silly. (So what's new?)

No pirate hat, though.
