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.

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: Tue 7 Mar

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.

Out on Delivery: Tue 14 Feb

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.

Out on Delivery: Tue 31 Jan

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.

Out on Delivery: Mon 30 Jan

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.
