Mate, I think she was chatting you up. Pretty naff come-on line for sure, but it sounds like she was clearly trying to get you indoors for a 'breakfast'.

Busy day with lapsing and half a walk on overtime. Got a good soaking with about 2 hours still to go. Heavier than usual for a Saturday.

Not bad for mail although there were quite a few small packets. Got to one house with a signed for and nearly honked my ring up at the stench coming from within. Cannot understand how people can be so dirty it get THAT bad. :hmmmm

Dead, massive gaps and no packets. 15 specials but 10 of these were international ones so could be done after 1pm

We'll pay for it the rest of the week now

Hot, four specials, hot, a tonne of packets, double absorption (again, just like every day for the last load of weeks), hot, and met with a huge amount of late mail when we returned to the SO. Nightmare!

Rained when I left the office at 10am, didn't stop all day.

Things I learned :

Stormproof coats are not "prolonged shower proof"

The new coats don't cover your back when you bend over.

Magnum shoes are no longer waterproof


RM supply s**t wet weather gear.


Note to self, buy your own gear for the coming winter !
