Thank you Kiwi girl for all the wonderful treats! I just ate the cookie after my ride today. Delicious . And I've been needing a replacement patch kit. The socks are very cute and the fuel in a tube is a very cool idea. I'll take the fuel with me next time I go on a long ride. Just popped the cd on. It's really good! I'm always looking for new music and this is now included in my pm3 player playlist! Thank you!!!!

Secret Sis, sorry for the delay. . . . . It's going in the mail tomorrow. Please forgive me!

Went to the Post Office today and there it was sitting there from yesterday.
Immediately saw it was from OZ and then sneaked a look at the customs declaration - Tim Tams. Ot with my trusty Swiss Army pocket knife - somebody else was using the collective scissors- and inside the postie envelope I found a beautiful collection of things.
An expensive fluffy towel in a lovely shade of Cab Sav, a red silk-covered embroidered Chinese box with chocs , a red aromatherapy candle and Love-Potion Tim Tams! And a bike-card in a chartreuse envelope!
Everywhere it was written "Your Feb ss" and then I saw in tiny tiny writing her name...
Thank you Thea V!

I hope something comes soon. I could use the cheering up. I have a lousey cold. And the weather is perfect for ridding but nose has decided running would be more fun!

[margo49]

Oh, I see the chocolates are all different colours and flavours. Very handmade and expensive looking now that I "examine them closely"!!!

[Thistle]

so glad they got through customs margo49! i was a little worried that they might confiscate the choccies and tim tams!

the choccies are paddington... i like them and hoped you might!

sorry it was so late, it's always hard sending overseas and worrying about customs... and my thoughts invariably are food-focused , but it seems the world of customs are starting to understand the importance of tim tams

Cheer up, Brandi. You and I will both be getting something special soon. I know it.

To my SS from Wisconsin (mtbdarby??)- thank you so much for the cool stuff.

You have no idea how timely the sports beans were. I needed to go for a ride after work tonight (I am doing a nine day tour starting in 10 days and hadn't ridden for a couple of days). Half way home from work I realise that I had been stuck in meetings all afternoon and hadn't eaten an afternoon snack (which I need to do a good evening ride)). I also realised that I don't really have any carbo snacks in the pantry. Then I get home and there it is!! I've read about sports beans here and on a running forum I hang out on, but they aren't easily available here in NZ so I hadn't tried them before.

The wallet is very cool too. When bf and I go for a day long ride I generally grab an ATM card and $20 and throw them in a jersey pocket - but they do get sweaty and I worry about the risk that I will drop something when reaching into the pocket for something else.

The 'smellies' will get good use too - I'll be doing my longest ride for about 15 months on Sunday so a nice long soak in the bath will defintely be called for after that.

Thank you!!

KG - you're welcome I hope the beans didn't melt in your heat. Trust me, they were frozen when I shipped 'em Enjoy the wallet - I love mine. Another great product recommended by TE.
