    Yes for a single item - but it depends on how much you are willing to pay for delivery as to how fast it would arrive. Makes no difference where it is coming from.

    If you know someone who lives in France, have them buy the book and then send to you 'as a Christmas gift'

    It's all about the paperwork. If that's correct it will fly through. If not it will get delayed - usually by the carrier as they process the clearance, that's not done by government employees. IME the most common reason for delay in clearance is incorrect commodity code. Second most common incorrect value declared.

    I would suggest Barry contacts an asylum seeker and gets him to buy the book then bring it with him and drop it at Barry's house for a small fee, but that idea has too many moving parts.

    Alternatively Barry could get the ferry over to Calais and make purchasing the book part of a Christmas booze cruise. And then hand the book together with his home address to one of the illegal immigrants to bring over on t'dinghy. But I've heard this courier method can be unreliable.

    minus 3 here right now. Will rise to zero by 1300 but that's it.

    Giving out snow for this evening and all night. Then switches to sleet.

    Below zero to zero today.

    Looks nice - bright - clear skies.

    Maybe won't go above zero till Monday now! Seems dry though, which is good.

    Managed to get the room temp up to 13C with the 2.25 KW heater running for two hours. Was 10C when I got up.

    Really don't fancy it but I am going to have to go round to the supermarket as I've got next to nothing in.

    Suppose on the plus side by comparison it will feel like a sauna in here when I get back.
