A light filled day, noticing the reflections from cars and through car windows and the way the light highlights foliage and flowers.

Dandelions as halos filled this garden in Gladstone Street.

Hot.

An overcast warm Autumnal day. Enjoying all the fallen leaves and the spooky house decorations.

Customers chatty and parcels not too numerous.

Peaches and I take a break in the cafe, a very civilised morning delivery. So used, now, to working at breakneck speed it feels different but good to have time to do job well.

Today: A surprisingly wet start to the delivery. Despite the endless hot weather here in Norwich the streets were teeming with fat moist brown slugs.

Caught a photo of the random leg that has been hanging out in a garden in Earlham Road.

Rain stopped at 10am but continued to get a soaking from all the overgrown bushes and hedges on the delivery.

Working with James and we managed to get all delivered. Felt good.

Quite a day, stifling hot from the start. My colleague becomes unwell and I take them back to the delivery office. I return to delivery to try to get finished what I can, but it is hard hot work.

I notice this cracked road surface in Heigham Grove road for the first time. It reminds me of ice cubes in a drink.

A return to work after a two week holiday. All the overexcitable foliage, nettles and brambles have been sun shrivelled and the grass yellow and burnt making the going much faster.

Still numerous summery blooms to be seen and smelt. A wild and summery garden filled with creamed pincushion caught the feeling of the day.

Hot still but a noticeably gentler sun.

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.

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.
