Before leaving Cambridge I packed a package with some things I could not fit in my suitcase - winter jackets and a blanket. I thought I won't need those immediately in Miami. After looking at different mailing options it was clear that sending it directly to the US was far too expensive. It was actually cheaper to mail it to Germany and then forward it to the US. Why is everything to bloody expensive in the UK? And why is service so poor there? Anyway, today the package arrived.
Front and back of the package didn't look too bad, a little dirt and the paper a bit torn, just what to expect. One corner, however, was completely smashed and there was a hole punched right through one sort side of it. Luckily I put everything inside in plastic bags so it stayed dry and clean. I now have 3 (!) warm winter jackets (2 leather, 1 wool), a puffer vest and a thick llama wool blanket. When will I need those, if today we still have 31C / 90F?
