Today: A series of fallen leaves with rain drops: Leaf on van window, delivery office: Grove Avenue: Ipswich Grove: Newmarket Road

An overcast cooler day. I am really enjoying the silvery water droplets on the fallen leaves. The leaf colours are magnificent, I feel a sadness at how quickly their splendour fades. I pick some up and put in the pocket of my bag but forget to retrieve them. They will likely be crumpled, dry And distinctively less splendid when I find them tomorrow.

A normal Friday delivery, busy but not too taxing. Delivery office full of talk of the new strike dates and the offer of early retirement made yesterday.
