Reasonable day for a Friday. Only real issue were the 10 recorded items. Even had a good run in to Manchester m/c with the missorts this morning, road was really quiet for a Friday.
Back home I've just set up the reflectors on my new T5 lights for the fish tank. Beginning to look good. Will ad some Co2 starting next month when I can get the set up. Might even post a pic or two on here. lol.

I've got some new lights and a CO2 set up too, they're going in the loft. Seems to be a very popular pastime round here. :whistle

Good and not good..

The Good
Did the frame and the walk myself, with just me trainer watching and following me, only had to ask a couple of things, and finished at 1:30 :Very Happy only about 45 mins later than the regular on that round.

The not so good..

Didn't get a SD signed for... ( I blame the trainer :wink: ) though it wasn't a standard SD some sort or air sommit or other red strange label.. but came from the SD office..

The first time I have found nothing thrown off for me when I got in. The walk I am on now rarely has the packets spread across all the houses, I get a load for one road one day - then a load for another road another day. Used a van all week due to problems with the "mini-bus", and it takes longer than on a bike! Started 45 minutes early and finished 75 minutes early, so that meant I got my "break".

Better than most Saturdays. And it's beginning to look like Spring is on its way.

Should a certain number of Cura-Heat patches be made available as part of the uniform?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
