Birthday present from my Grandmother, 2009

Spring hath sprung.

I have broken the seals on my shirt collection ... I wonder if I can wear them all this year before it gets cold again ... you never know with German weather. A couple trips to Italy and Spain should increase the number of usefully warm days available to me.

Project description: Go through all shirts in my possession. Wear one each day that is warm enough, no repeats until all have been worn. Scan, present ... what about the ones I can't wear? We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, I guess.
