Today, I once again learnt that when my pager goes off and I go to run out the door, that I in fact have to pull the handle down to open the door!

So which bit of you hit the door first?

My head, I was still doing up my OT's at the time.

Oh! No harm done then!

Here's another Lapp hat so you can wear them for interchangeable weather and low flying aircraft.

Kari's completely useless trivial information, part 117:

That hat is called Neljän tuulen hattu(*). The colors used are the same than in the Flag of Sápmi(**):

Attachment 85028
Attachment 85030

The ornaments, both in hats and costumes, originally told from which village and family you come.


(*)
Neljä, genitive neljän = Four
Tuuli, genitive tuulen = Wind
Hattu = hat
Neljän tuulen hattu = the hat of four winds

(**)
Sápmi is the name of Lapland in Sámi language, spoken by the Sámi people (the Lapps). Today there exist less than 30K native Sámi speakers.

Sápmi, the Lapland (red area in attached map), is located above the Arctic Circel, in four counties: Finland, Sweden, Norway and Russia. Governments of all four countries are supporting the preservation of the culture, language and traditions. The Sápmi Parliament is chosen from all four countries, and it has an advisory role in political decisions regarding Sápmi, Lapland.

It was just the detail that was wrong, he allegedly shot and wounded his former girlfriend and killed her new partner the Saturday before last and allegedly shot and wounded a police officer the next day
---------------------

Oh sorry Mitchell I misunderstood. I have since looked through a few articles. Thanks for clarifying as well.

Yesterday Kari and I got carried away on Lapp herdsmen and reindeer so to continue our theme on the Lapp people I ran across this lovely lady wearing a Lapp hat.

We had a big tree chopped down to-day as it was dying and getting dangerous. I have also walked the dog. Also I had my driving lesson earlier.

BTW, 300th post.

Congratualtions!
