No it isn't a transcript of BBC Radio 4 LW weather forecast, but a report on how our shipped belongings are progressing on their journey from London to Chennai.
After a false alarm when the shipping company sent me an e-mail saying that the boxes were arriving in May, they have arrived in Chennai for real. The ship arrived on Friday and I got a call from the appointed shipping agent. Went to meet him at the agents office and signed the customs paperwork. Apparently tomorrow I will have to go to the port itself for a customs inspection of the boxes. Hopefully this will result in the boxes being cleared and delivered home tomorrow evening (all for a modest fee to agent, customs and for transport from the port).
So far it has been straightforward, but I've been told to be wary of the customs people asking for extra "donations"...
