Long day today in the glorious sunshine. Out the door at 9:45, last letter at 17:50! That's not just the one round I did today, of course! Not too knackering though, just kept plodding on at a steady pace. Best job in the world when the sun's shining, I reckon.

Very light day, a steady stroll in the sun. The calm before the storm I suppose

One of the lightest days deliveries I've had in an absolute age! Was a nice day to work in the sun. Not overly hot and with a light breeze blowing to take the edge off the heat. Back 10 mins before our scheduled finish time.

Just by looking out the bedroom window... it's looking like it's going to be a nice sunny day. Off to work to get the day well and truly stuffed up by shed-loads of packets [Wednesday tends to be packet day for us on this delivery]
D2S's all done (only two for us this week, and now done, apart from that rag we have to deliver Thurs/Fri...)

Off this week. Weather looks good today but who knows following yesterdays showers. Not missing work one bit.

Dear Royal Mail managers, instead of keep asking me to work my day, off how about employing enough staff to do the job! :arrrghhh
