Lovely day, beautiful weather. Enjoyed every minute of it, except for that minute in which I turned my iPod on and it gave me a flashy red battery sign. It was a very silent walk today :sad:. I usually start my day off with The Mamas and the Papas - California Dreamin'.

A thing of exquisite beauty.
And there is no foundation to the rumour that a RM van from Cambuslang was seen unloading D2D items into the flats just minutes before the event.

Today a police car pulled up and asked me if I'd seen a bloke - and the description he gave fitted me down to a T.
A couple of minutes later the car was whizzing after this bloke who could have been my twin. (Very rare event for my area. I thought for a moment they were filming Taggart)
(I just shouted - it was him officer. He put the D2D leaflets in the disused building and set fire to them)

Easy Monday, yay.

One bag had three 'orrible cuboid things in it though. They were all about 10cm x 10cm (x 10 cm) so I couldn't really be cheeky and give them to the driver, but frak me they were a mutha frakking nuisance and a half. Couldn't close the bag up. One of them was unaddressed and I'm not even sure it was on my walk . . . couldn't find it, anyway. Why the hell do people think a house NAME is sufficient when very few houses are actually known by their name OFFICIALLY. Name and number, please, or else get lost. I'm pretty sure it was for another walk though. Oh well.

The perfectly square boxes are by far the most annoying thing you can cart around, even the smallish ones. The shape is in constant conflict with a rectangular pouch filled with rectangular bundles. :arrrghhh

Anyway, first day back after two weeks off :cry . Especially annoyed at missing the last day of the Ryder cup as i had pretty much followed every minute of it from Friday morning. It was a fairly light day, nice weather and was done by about 1pm. It dragged on a bit though, probably because of the long, lazy break i have just come back from! Should take me a few more days to get back up to speed again :neutral: . How i love working for Royal mail... ;liar
