A Russian hat.

The weather is warming up (1°C now!) and the days are getting longer. Ben's daily routine is a big breakfast in the canteen, followed by a big lunch and then he's out for about seven hours. He's visited the museum a couple of times and been to the Berlin Zoo, the aquarium and also Legoland. He's planning to attend a gym class and see some concerts in Berlin. A busy schedule keeps his mind off health, which is a good strategy although it would obviously be nice to have some company.

Oh yes... and he bought himself a Russian hat! I'm sure it's very practical but will he wear it in Tasmania?
