Today: Blooms, Lime tree Road: New road marking, Church Avenue: Sky, Newmarket Road.
More news about revisions to walks delivered in a meeting around the sorting frame. Going to be a resign, everyone re choosing (in order of seniority) which walk they want to do. Being low down the list I may find myself no longer on Walk 206. Contemplating this makes me see the walk with new eyes.
Plenty to deliver and deeply grateful that the weather is drier than predicted.
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.
Today: Absence, Newmarket rd: Wall moment, Mount Pleasant: Fresh buds, Ipswich rd.
A lighter Wednesday, working with a Colleague Mark.
A damp overcast drizzly morning. Leaves and feathers with glinting rain drops catch my eye.
A lighter Thursday, finishing early.
Today: Misty view, Benjamin Gooch Way: Favourite cat, Christchurch Rd: Railings and shadows, Ipswich Rd.
A glorious misty start which cleared into a warm sunny morning. All feels spring like, crocuses, leaf buds are out and the birds are singing.
Today: Tree reflections in van
Today: Van as abstract: Extraordinary reflected light pattern on gate, Harford Manor Road: Shadow with blue cobbles, Allen’s Lane
All about the light and shadow again today. The low sun delivering a little warmth where it fell. The morning passed quickly.
I was confronted with a mistake I had hoped was unnoticed and would be forgotten. Never great to have to face your less good self.
Today: Vue whilst for my colleague at the depo: Colourful Lichen, Newmarket Rd: Sign post shadow, Plantsman’s Close.
Sunny but chilly. The first murmurings of light, over Mousehold Health as I head in to work. Thinking of how lovely it will be to be heading into work in the light in the summer months. No more watering eyes, chaffed thighs or cracked fingers.
Delivering gardening catalogues, dentists journals and clothing in beautiful boxes. Enjoying the shadows.
