It’s cold. I wish I’d have a hot drink, to warm me up from the inside. But I don’t want to get the stove out in this weather. Lets see if there’s still some tea in my Thermos bottle. Thank god, there’s still some in there. Now just to find a spot outside of the wind, and then to enjoy that hot cup of tea.

The venerable hoody - a longsleeved shirt with an attached hood. It’s a great garment because you can never lose your hood - unlike your hat or cap - and thus always have something to keep your neck and head warm. It’s great between spring and autumn, when it allows you to leave your sleeping hat at home; but really shines in winter, when cold wind and sub-zero temperatures dig into your skin and you’re happy to pull that hood over your head and zip it closed, so that there’s less skin exposed to the elements.

Five different Hoodys compared. Cthulhu approved.

I hope you all had a splendid Father’s Day on Sunday.
