I’ve imported some specialist recumbent bike parts from the USA. Delivered this morning. I guess HMRC didn’t want me to pay any duty or VAT.

And travel expenses!
Don't forget those.

10% extra because a work bike is heavier...

I've heard they are a bit overwhelmed because all EU goods have to go through customs. Unfortunately for me the European customs aren't, so I can't go ordering bike bits from the UK.

head cold working it's way around our house, starts w/ a sore throat. currently the cold is residing in my head. last night, as I was drifting off, I sneezed & started a long duration nose-bleed. I am prone to those. anyone want to take it from here? mr. sleepy went to work & brought a space heater because my office is an ice-box. maybe some colleagues will get disgusted enough to send me home

Chilly, grey and murky here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept in a bit, then spent the morning writing and editing photos. There is drizzle forecast for this afternoon, but I might factor in a bit of bike time before the weather goes t*ts up tomorrow.

It is almost time for luncheon. And I has a hungry.

Grey and very light drizzle on our lunchtime stroll around the block.

It can be a bit hit and miss. We (work) semi regularly order stuff from Spain. sometimes we get notified to pay the import duty to release the parcel, sometimes the parcel just arrives ?

I'm not sure who's wetter after our 3½ mile walk. Me or the dog 🐶 ☔

State of independence

It is here.

Scrub the bike time. I have no desire to get wet as well as cold.

Had two slices of seeded wholegrain toast for luncheon, one with the last of the chicken liver pate, one with the last of the Englishman's Foot cheese, plus a pear, an orange and two

Are you quick enough on two wheels to travel between the two places.

I think @Andy in Germany might need that jet bike that was being talked about in another thread...

He prefers taking it easy as well.
