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.
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.
Another day where despite occasional slight light drizzle we manage to avoid any serious rain. Playing catch up with double mail on walk 202 but manage to deliver all we brought out.
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.
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.
A second post bank holiday delivery day, not quite full volumes and we manage to get all delivered.
Plentiful road closures and resurfacing works going on around the delivery, making some roads beautifully quiet and others unbearably busy.
The day started overcast but quickly became a gloriously sunny day.
Noticing the big bold blooms today.
The sun is out, the forecast good for the whole week. We have a longer day, due to the bank holiday and manage to complete the whole, walk.
An eye for all the beautiful pinks about, in Chester Place, Denbigh Road and Mill Hill Road.
The beginnings of road closures around the walk adding excitement.
The sun emerged and the shadows came out to play.
A good, if busy couple of days delivering. Slightly embarrassed by accidentally catching my delivery bag on a customers wall in a tight pathway resulting in a section of wall falling over.
Apologised to the customer but they were, perhaps rightly, cross about the hassle of having to talk to Royal Mail through a central customer services number. Caught the flack for the aggravation of modern life.
Today: A dry(ish) slightly sunny but still cold morning. We worked hard and all delivered. Starting to feel like I know the delivery better.
