Not bad today. Finished on time, even tough I had three days of d2d untouched sitting in the frame this morning, I am on the duty for the rest of the week, so I ended up having a quite heavy bag taking them out. But again not too bad time wise, weather was ok as well. :Very Happy

Today was bad.
Tomorrow will be worse.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Busier all round. Out later, more mail and 2 full packet bags. Most of the mail was the usual holiday brochures and catalogues with a few xmas cards still coming through. Wet day but warmer than yesterday.

How can that be really heavy??

It was really light for me, out at 7.15am and back in at 12.30..............and I was one of the first back.

Until deliveries are all made the same then this will always happen :roll:

No i mean for a Saturday, on this round you can usually be done in 3 hours or just under on a Saturday (3.5 hour walk).
