Two things: first, my daughter has decreed that my car is now named "Strawberry Swirl."  Second, our local casual sushi restaurant has surprisingly good fries.

Just the one thing: yearly energy bill came in… They're re-imbursing me 407€... All the wine and beer we bought was free (and then some)...

More wine and more beer shall be purchased... All simple economics...

One thing, Belgium does not exist….

@RP:

Haven't posted in a while.  Moving has taken more time and effort than I originally anticipated.  I'm finally installed in Miami but the heat and humidity have prevented me from wearing just about any heavy weight fabrics.  I'll see how cool it gets over the "winter" to decide if I maintain my collection or off-load some of it.  It's really fucking hot here.  All the time.

I moved out of my flat in London last week, and it was pretty stressful.

Off to Oz sometime in the next week. Just waiting for Yodel to find the package that they've misplaced in their delivery chain. (Hint: 24 hour delivery does not mean 120 hours and counting.)

No: we pay 120€/ month for gas and electricity. In December they check how much energy you've used, and depending you either have to pay or get a refund. So we got a refund of 407, plus we don't have to pay for December (that's included in the bill)… So that's about 530 we're being refunded... So 1/3 of what be paid during the year.

A bottle of Pouilly hey... Mmm... Hard to find a good one these days though

Sorry for the cross post…

Haraki and I are feeling pretty pleased with ourselves.

We have been selected by Yamaha as the first ever non custom bike builder to be involved in their European "Yard Built" initiative.

http://www.yamaha-motor.eu/uk/products/motorcycles/sport-heritage/yard-built/index.aspx

We will be giving the Iron Heart "Yard Built" spin to an XJR1300:

http://www.yamaha-motor.eu/uk/products/motorcycles/sport-heritage/xjr1300.aspx

We selected the bike today.

Feeling like a couple of kids let loose in a sweetshop, starts to describe what we feel like.....

We are allowed to keep the bike at the end of the project.  The only issue to be resolved is whether that is Haraki or me....
