Since I stopped worrying about my finish time I find I enjoy the job a lot more. Heavy day for a Friday but compared to last week it was easy.
I staged a Roger Moore impersonator festival in my local village. There were a lot of eyebrows raised, I can tell you.

Quite heavy for a Saturday. Three hours start to finish, which is about half an hour longer than usual.

We haven't had any mail for a fortnight. Don't know where it has all gone. Today was ridiculous. I had a packet or two per bag and two to three bundles per bag. Walk took me less than two and a half hours - this is a walk that is generally considered 'big' in relative terms within our office. It can take comfortably over four hours on a heavy day. Something is obviously awry within the system, but I'm not going to pry into the thought processes of those above me for the umpteenth time, they tend to think that my intrusions are somehow derived of devious intent. They are, but that's not the point.

Great day Tuesday, decent finish and it was dry. Today was a bit of a catch up day. More packets in, plenty of recorded items. Flats were not too bad but the letters on the heavy side. Bit cold but dry again.
