White Tilley Hat Missing

Just wondering if anyone has found an off-white Tilley hat? I seem to have left it somewhere and don't remember where. Possibly the pickleball courts.

Thanks

Missing Cat from Forbes Road

Our cat Misha has not come home for over a week. He is a large tabby, fixed male, very friendly, and happy to make you believe he's starving. His cat sister really misses her brother - they lost their mother at just 6 weeks, so they are truly bonded.  

Please let us know if you see him, as we miss him
