Yesterday I saw the BEST thing.
Just as we were nearing the school in our vehicle, we passed a man pulling his brahma bull along by a rope. Over the bull was a beautiful blanket to keep it warm, but the blanket had been actually TAILORED to exactly fit the hump - just like you might have a cover for you toaster, or your food processor. So there was the "hump cosy " - cut and sewn decoratively to perfectly fit the hump - from which the rest of the blanket fell gracefully over the animal. I did not have time to snap a picture, and am just KICKING myself about that. How kind was that man to make such a warm, lovely garment for his beast of burden. It went beyond functional to "styled" and actually decorated - and I can imagine that man telling the tailor how he wanted that blanket to look.
So many things to admire about this country.
