Some drongo dumbass opens the door and lets out his two dogs as I amble up the path. Hence me reversing at full speed down the path taking swipes at them with my bag.

What a day, rain, wind, sun, wind, rain etc. until nearly finishing time.........when the rain, hail and sleet came down :shock: the temperature in my van went from a tropical 9c to a slightly chilly .5c..........I really thought I'd passed out and woken in November :nervous

Something like that but without the soothing music to go along with it (you forget how loud hail can be in a van).

Was nice of you to pass it over to us once you had finished with it.
Luckily all my streets run East to West so I had the joy of walking face first into freezing hail.
My hat even blew off and I had to do that pathetic chasing it down the street thing.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Still expectig hell to freeze over before my duty can be completed within hours doing the job properly, despite the "summer mail volumes being lower." Yes I'm leaving the depot earlier than in the winter months, but not early enough push my HCT around... and that is with significantly less "IPS time" than their crazy guideline thinks is possible plus without the 30mins work time learning national weekly standard!

Busy. Lapsing started today. Quite a few put a stop to it by refusing to do it as it would have taken them over their time. Including me. :so there

Bright sunshine followed by dark apocalyptic clouds with massive a drop in temperature, wind and a barrage of hailstones all within 10 minutes. Very odd and peculiar weather. Managed to finish before my time for a change.

Dry - wet - wetter - dry - wet - very wet - wet - dry - wet. Luckily it wasn't a heavy load and I got all packets and signed for done without 739ing anything.

Quiet day. Meeting cancelled. Management would not allow it to go ahead, due to ongoing dispute with CWU.
