Dry but cool. Mail wasn't too bad. Still a few out when I got back. Main problem this week has been the 5 D2D contracts.

Today was extremely light. Out the door at 8.10am and last letter was done at 10.55am. I only have 4 packets for the whole walk and probably 50% call rate.

6 trays of sequenced mail.
The last 3 only arrived at just after 9.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

One thing to say. My manager is a knob, but I took it on the chin.

Friday wasn't too bad. Saturday was busier. Did another very long road on another walk at the other end of town on overtime.230 drops.
Didn't get back until 5pm. The actual deliver on there took about 1.5 hours. Long day. A few beers with my feet up tonight, I think.

Blimey, how many letters per tray, the standard of ~150 or rediculously full to the brim 300+?

Hammered with packets today, two full pouches for most loops, which at least kept the LWT balanced! :shock:
