Today: A selfie at Royal Arch Court: Blossom, Mount Pleasant: Leaf, Ipswich Rd: Tree Catkins, Harford Manor Close

Cold and damp, an unwelcome return to winter temperatures with the threat of snow hanging over the week.

Changes afoot in the delivery office, all is un certainty and anxiety. No overtime being paid, so we got out onto delivery late and we returned with the walk unfinished, which never feels good.

On a personal level a parting gift from a colleague of a small radio brought me joy and I look forward to singing along to more hits from the eighties in the coming weeks.

A chillier but drier morning. Delivery office filled with speculation and chat about walk revisions. Also chat about possible “Beast from the East” returning. Possibly prompted by this chat the wind seemed to have a sharper edge to it by the end of the morning.

Noticing all the variety of new growth. Selfie taken in lift in Royal Arch Court.

A rainy start which turned slowly into a warm sunny day. Freshly perfect leaves unfurling everywhere and spring flowers out in all their glory.

Chatted to one of my favourite customers at The Cedars, all the time with my mind on the fact that if I stay chatting too long it will be flagged up on a list in the office.

Talk of our walks gaining an extra 200 calls (in addition to the current 650 calls) in the new revised walk plan. Not sure how we will be able to manage this even with the parcels being delivered separately. Going to be a lot more walking !!
