What a difference a day makes. Much busier with the packets, especially the recorded items. Hardly anything on yesterday. :arrrghhh

Heavy day for me :crazy:

Woke up had breckfast, took some painkillers.

Out at 9:15, in at 3:30

Loads of packets, flats etc, bitter wind and gloomy weather all day. Painkillers wore off after lunch so popped another 2 and struggled through the knee pain :sad:

Day off tomorrow :dance :dance :dance

Cut offs. 3 BAGS EACH...some out of loop order, miles apart, literally, Loads of packets/parcels.
AND...a Full bag/multi packets/parcels in an unfamiliar area. Training new lad. He was a good un tho.
Break compromised, as usual. Freezing cold, bitter cutting wind but sunny.
Par for the course, really...

Pretty good day. Loads of flats but hardly any packets. It was cold but the sun made an appearance which was pleasant. Day off tomorrow so time to crack the beers open. :nana

Dropped 2 loops and all packets that wouldnt go through letter box. They were still there when we got back at 3pm.
Legs and knees ache like mad.

Heaviest day for me since the New Year - serves me right for working my day off. What was it with the Santander mailing that was addressed to people that had died several years go - at least 3 cases on my walk alone.

Came home and received an email from the union telling me that today is "work your proper hours days" with loads of links to posters and the like. Surely it should have told me that today WAS "work your proper hours day" as the email was sent at 1:19pm!!!!! Perhaps my £2.25 a week will be put towards buying a calendar.
