International bird smuggling from Chimay.

I appear to have inadvertently brought back a foreign species. However
I have no idea what it is (or rather was) as it has flattened itself
on the radiator - well mostly on the radiator, the clawed foot that
swung into view by the ignition gave me the first clue that something
was wrong.

I suppose I should clean the bird off, [1] get the luggage off the
bike and put it away.

Instead I'm going to drink Belgian beer, have a bath and takeaway
(though I've gone off the idea of crispy shredded duck for some
reason) and then go sleep.

Chimay rocked. Is there some way to transport those lovely continental
drivers who just got the **** out of the way to here and get rid of
the **** witted idiots I've encountered over the last couple of hours?
Until today I don't think I've ever understood the 'kicking wing
mirror off' urge.

[1] Bucket of water OK given there are electrical bits?

 

Absolutely not. Badge of honour that is, you keep it until it rots off
completely.
