Was supposed to be spare; but of course someone was sick. So , picked up a walk that had half of it with four days mail.
Rammed with packets and mail. Got out at 10:45.
Thought; yes I can clear this and finish by about 3pm.
Lost the will to live at 2pm and brought back three bags and loads of packets.
Actually on reflection. Lost the will to live at 10:45.How often we all lose the will to live on this job! It used to be good! Are you retiring?

Not retiring. Bloody wish I was. But another few years left in the tank.

Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........
