Today: Tree in The plantation: Pinks, The Cedars: Tree shadows, Newmarket Road: Photo collage, Suffolk Square.
A bright sun, uneasy that I must be late getting up as so bright. Hottest delivery day so far, all the surfaces and stairwells have heated up. All is dusty and hard.
Today: Foxgloves and blue door, Trory street: Tree shadows, Newmarket Road: A joyful lawn of large daisies, Church Avenue. Digital photo collage, Suffolk Square.
Another hot day, but with a breeze that kept it comfy. All shadows and highlights in the summer sunlight.
Today: Sunlight through leaves, Ipswich grove: Spiky dandelion: Garages Dial House: Digital photo collage.
Working with a new colleague who regaled me with tales from his taxi driving days. I enjoyed the sunshine and the cigarette breaks he took. A sociable days work.
Today: Orange flowers: Irises, Allens Lane: Digital photo collage.
Finally the sun came out to play, Mrs Boyd’s selection of Irises are looking really splendid. Happy that the weeks delivering in over.
Today: Purple flowers, blue wall, 60a Mount Pleasant: Purple flowers, Mount Pleasant: concrete floor patterns, Suffolk Sq.
Purples are catching my eye. A chilly day delivering with lots of walking inside. I manage a record 5,800 steps between 12:00 and 13:00. The weekends sunshine has been replaced with grey cloud.
Today: Irises from Mrs Boyd’s garden, a whole range of sumptuous purples.
Still cold out delivering and no sunshine, returned to wearing a vest and so stayed snuggly.
Today: Church Avenue: colourful berries, Lime tree rd: Pink flowers, Ipswich road.
A cooler overcast day, quieter after the bank holiday. Mysterious ladder encountered in Suffolk Square. Finished in time.
Today: I now see these amazing bushes all over the walk, this large one in Ampthill Street looked particularly sublime in the early morning sun: Foliage patterns: Shadows in Eagle Walk.
We got out on delivery early, finishing in time to catch a much desired cooling ice cream at the Van on Mousehold heath, as we headed back to the delivery office. The Ice cream seller commented “here for your once a year ice cream”. Slightly unnerving since we had indeed only stopped for ice cream once the previous year. I think this was because it became too hot and the van often wasn’t there. Hard to imagine it being too hot in the UK for an ice cream van but it was !!
Today: Gloriously sunny day, all looks splendid. Just slightly cooler than it looks with a stiff cooling breeze.
Happy to get all delivered, picked up pizza on the way home. Out to hear the BBC singers in the evening – fantastic concert.
