Well we got up to discover the frying pan has landed!
Remember this?
In Paris.
How much did our son have to pay get it out of customs?
50 ffin euros.
For a 150€ pan.
We should have taken it out of its box, fried a coupla eggs in it, and sent it on as secondhand.
We'll know better from now on.

Guid morn
Just back from daily walk, another baltic day around -3 degrees again, probably colder with wind chill.
Usual birds along the river and also a Roe Deer having a drink
Snow forecast for this afternoon so will potter about in the garage, heater on of course.

As said I have been into the shed & rummaged through some boxes.
Some of the tat I have found
V8 dizzy cap
Loads of coils
Anti roll bar bushes
Series manifolds & carbs
300tdi ignition barrel but no key
Plenty of rusty unknown parts which once I recognise I know I won’t need any more.
but no door handles for you. Just a thought are you able to remove 1 from the rear passenger doors ?

Don't forget this was going from the UK to France. Doubtless the frogs manage to come up with other charges.
Or maybe the carrier, Parcelforce, added an extra charge.
Dunno the details.
But the carrier was paid before it went.

Am looking forward to it. They int gorra clue whats int side.
Tonight's feast will be a home constructed sausage pizza where the sausage element is local butcher's sausage spiced with fennel for an "Italian sausage" taste.
Sausages are skinned and the innards mixed with ground fennel and then formed into tiny little disc patties and fried.
Set out on top of a plain store-bought cheese & tomato base with the easily removed cheese taken off, sausage added then covered up again with the cheese plus MORE cheese.
A bit of side-salad to go with and Bob's yer uncle. Lush!
