When people come to our DO they can't believe how much we take out, people rarely get back early, Tuesday maybe, but Rurals hardly ever do

Got in at 6 yesterday morning, just about to prep the rural duty I have been doing for months when a LM comes up and says we are short staffed you are being moved. I got put on a town walk with a double frame so not a good start to my day. It had 600+ drops mainly flats :arrrghhh so I've spent most of today sitting on my arse trying to rest my leg, had physio on Thursday with 2 ultra sound massages and told to take it easy :roll: The guy who's rural duty I've been covering has returned after major spinal surgery and has been doing light duties like prepping for a few weeks now, they sent him out on it by himself :no no so don't even know if he managed to complete.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Strangely, Saturday was not quite as bad as I thought it would be, given that we have a Bank Holiday weekend. Hardly any packets AGAIN. Just got Tuesday to do then I'm off for a few days. :Very Happy
