Bobbles

After a lifetime of avoiding them I have now taken up the bobble with the purchase of a new woolly hat. I feel slightly different when bebobbled. Taller, as I have to bend further when using doorways, and slightly self-conscious, or at least bobble-concious at the thought of my new woolly appendage doing its own thing out of my sight.
Any other bobble wearers around? Any tips and tricks? Should I get bobbles for anything else or just see how the hat goes first?

At Christmas I got a large scarf with bobbles on the end. I love it.

Careful now. You might get carried away and end up with a hat like this 🤣

Are bobbles addictive? I must admit I'm thinking of what else I can have bobbles on...

I thought this was going to be about hair bands.

My brother told me that bobbles were invented to stop submariners bumping their heads on the low doors in submarines. I think he's making it up!

Well I've been a bobble wearer for 4 days now and so far have not bumped my head on a low submarine door once. Must be true.
