We had the NT handbooks last week on Thursday & Friday but they come every year about this time so no surprise really. I agree the letters & flats have been lighter for a week or so with Monday of last week being really noticeable. The packets and parcels seem about normal though.

As light as Tuesdays usually are, today was something else. Took lapsing but was still done almost two hours earlier than usual.

Housing estates usually get less letters and flats but sometimes more packets and parcels. Bit of a generalisation but when I do absorption on loops of P&L walks I usually end up missing out loads of houses.
