Quite an easy, lazy day.

Busy day. Declined the offer to partake in lapsing. Likewise with the offer of a row of a walk in the opposite direction to mine. Cannot understand how management think they can remove the best piece of delivery equipment (cycle) and replace it with a slower, much more cumbersome contraption and expect you to be able to work miracles. :cuppa

Hot day. :coolr

Heavy day today but had a good pace, got done at 1.50, filled the van up ready for tomorrow as it was running on fumes!
Only 1 special, that got taken back as i called over to the woman on her locked driveway and she turned away and ignored me so though stuff it, stuck a docket in the box stupid cow.
Most D2D's went out today so lighter for tomorrow and Sat i suppose..

One day they will deliver a time sensitive sale leaflet and some shop/company is going to be mighty pissed off at Royal Mail.

Day off Friday and just wet [weather] for me most of the day!


Nose to the "grindstone" today.. lapsed duties to be covered, despite the fact that most people have cut-offs on their own deliveries and management won't let them cover their own.. even partially!
