Out on Delivery: Wed 17 July

After finishing yesterday’s delivery cold and wet today started with full sunshine. The sun hat was back out the bag.

We had double mail to delivery, as I had covered both walks on Tuesday, so heavy bags and plenty of walking.

These poppies on Stafford Street stood out, I love their scruff happenstance energy and their delicate vulnerability.

Out on Delivery: Mon 15 July

A sunny lighter delivery day so a little space inside it to enjoy noticing all the summer blooms popping with colour. Fairly warm but a fresh gentle breeze keeps the day perfect for delivering mail.

No selfie in lift as I meet an ex postie, Tom, now DPD delivery guy in the lift and have a quick chat.

Out on Delivery: Sat 13 July

After heavy rain over night the early morning street are strewn with slugs and snails. Slugmageddon up Stafford st, with many poor creatures squashed and smashed. Drama increased by a series of red dots sprayed on the pavement by each gateway.

Opening a door in West Pottergate I am caught by the golden glow of a slug on the glass.

A good morning, we are only 15 mins short of completing both walks.

Out on Delivery: Mon 8 July

A return to work after a week’s holiday and a return to working with Craig. With all the election material delivered the sorting frame feels blissfully empty.

A perfect sunny summers day.

Out on Delivery: Sat 29 June

Another hot sunny day. An overwhelment of mail, election flyers and parcels. We do what we can, trying to let go of worrying that it is not enough.

These everlasting peas in Earlham road pop with colour.

Out on Delivery: Fri 21 Jun

A hot and sunny delivery day. Favourite moment was spotting these sinister car seats in Gladstone street.

Working with another new colleague, feel like we are permanently losing a battle and falling further and further behind.

Shadows strong and some grass already dried out and brown. Felt like summer.

Out on Delivery: Tue 18 Jun

The sun is continuing to shine 🙂 Sun hat on. Relieved to now have a permanent colleague to replace my poorly usually work colleague. Both tiring and a pleasure to have worked with so many different colleagues over the last couple of weeks.

Today we have practically all the calls on 207, with the polling cards going out. Luckily the packages are light today.

These poppies in Earlham road catch my eyes, as I make a collage I see how poppy like our royal mail uniform is.
