An Arrival from Australia

After seeing Susie Bubble in her All of the Above grey jersey draped jacket a few weeks ago, I couldn't resist ordering one for myself. Normally, I avoid buying things from international e-shops because I'm wary of getting lumped with customs charges, but I took the plunge on this occasion. The conversion from Australian dollars to British pounds is just too tempting - I don't know whether the rate is particularly good or not right now, but the shrinkage in amount when I stuck the numbers into Google was vast enough to make the price seem positively bargainious. It wasn't really very cheap at all, but when the price drops by more than half, the mind can be tricked. Or mine can, at least, but then it's very willing to be.
Unfortunately, however, a card plopped onto my doormat today informing me that I had indeed been hit by a customs charge (more like walloped, smashed and bashed by one). Bums! So, I toodled up the road to the collection office and it's fortunate indeed that I like this draped piece of grey jersey very much. It would have worked out a pretty expensive mistake if I didn't.
Of course I don't look as lovely in it as Miss Bubble, but I'm still too reeling from the shock of the in-excess-of-20-quid customs charge to care much...

As an aside, the light isn't great inside the house, so I'll be taking any opportunity to get outside to take pictures. I don't want to turn this blog into some kind of meteorological log (fun!) but it is quite pleasingly sunny today. Comparatively speaking, anyway...
