Flowers
Out on Delivery: Wed 5 Apr
Today: Another sunny spring day, pink and red are the colours that catch my eyes. The magnificent magnolia at xx Mount Pleasant is again in full bloom.
Delivering flowers and parcels galore, a struggle to find things in van, since so Easter busy. Yet again, not enough time to complete the walk, so mail returned to delivery office.
Out on Delivery: Wed 29 Mar
Today: Magnolia’s are starting to unfurl and several blossom trees on the delivery now in full bloom.
Double pre on walk 211. Stimulating to be doing different but another hard day in which I have to push hard to get everything delivered. Dis heartened by the knowledge of all the mail that didn’t get delivered on the other half of the walk.
Warmer and less damp.
Please to connect together a customer that my husband works with, who I have chatted to out of work but hadn’t realised was this customer. I seem to recognise people by their houses and doorways and find it hard to recognise people when away from work.
Out on Delivery: Tue 28 Mar
Today: cold and wet, colours of blossom bushes intensified by dark and damp.
My colleague is off sick and since we are so short staffed I am out delivering on my own. A mountain of mail, almost every call, I am out of the office late and struggle to deliver it all in time. Unable to prep the other walk so aware of the double work waiting tomorrow morning.
Out on Delivery: Mon 27 Mar
Today: A chilly start with hail showers, plenty of sun about too. Heavier rain forecast for the afternoon and we have a moment of pleasure as we finish the walk minutes before the rain arrives. Smug feeling disappears when we are soaked walking from the delivery office to the car.
Out on Delivery: Fri 24 Mar
Today: Day felt good, not only was the sun shining and the weather mild but we managed for the first time all week to deliver everything on our frames. Blossom is starting to bloom and the dappling March sunlight created joyful moments around every corner.
Out on Delivery: Thu 23 Mar
Today: A return to work after three days holiday. A sunny start to the day, noticing all the new pinks. I caught three reflections, in the lift in Royal Arch court, the lift in Alexandra court and in the corner mirror at the delivery office.
A temporary replacement van as our van is off for repairs after being in an altercation with a wall, whilst I was on holiday. I enjoy the smaller more manoeuvrable van and I am in a sunny mood all day.
Out on Delivery: Thur 16 Mar
Today: Double mail on the first walk, every call again with the Council Tax letters, but not too many parcels. Daffodils are looking perky throughout the walk.
Almost manage to delivery everything with in the time. A long days walking.
Out on Delivery: Sat 18 Mar
Today: A busyness of mothers day parcels and cards. Enjoyed all the different ways people addressed their mother. Jealous of “xxx most wonderful mother xxxx” and intrigued by To Moth. An in joke ? or a distracted writer who forgot the er. Noticing reds and yellows out on delivery. Spring feels here despite the overcast weather.
