Wind up time always strangely fragmented.
Doors are open in the flat, as the temperature is mid-twenties. So J discovers an unknown cat lying on the bed - and in no particular hurry to leave. Later seen on the patio staring at the window.
Flat seems a repository for items of unknown provenance and no probable use. Why do we have a wet wipe packet from Egyptair? Last flew Egyptair in, I think, 2009. Wet wipe has not apparently come in handy since and is undoubtedly not still wet.
Meanwhile my orange comb, which would come in handy has disappeared. OK, it was old and missing a couple of teeth but it was also the only one that would actually go through my hair.
And why are customs regulations so wildly different? Could take four litres of spirits PLUS eighteen litres of wine PLUS forty-two litres of beer EACH into UK from wherever. Clearly expecting van and not suitcase bearer. But into Canada 1.5 litres of wine OR 8.5 litres of beer OR 1.14 litres of spirits each. Not that anyone actually sells 1.14 litre bottles of alcohol abroad. And no, buying a 700 ml bottle of whisky plus miniatures will never work out to 1.14 either. You’ll just be cheated out of the .14. And limited point to taking eight litres of spirits to the UK and drinking like crazy to get it down to two litres before heading for Canada.
The pleasures of multiculturalism.
