Life as a Postman (Part 1)

 It was a really long day on the feet today. Very tiring as there was a huge amount of post and parcels to deliver. The relentless heatwave we are experiencing at the moment doesn't help either. I know it usually doesn't last because we don't usually have mega hot weather (30 degrees C +) in the UK. It doesn't help that my flat is also very hot too.  My shin splints are still a little painful and the compression sock I have been wearing has helped. I rang the agency I'm with in the afternoon to see if I could transfer to Huntingdon or something, but at the moment Cambridge want me to go full-time so I don't have any other option. I have decided to go full-time with them.  Not a lot else happened today, but I was working as hard as I could to stay cool in the hot weather. Helps that I'm paired with someone decent as well on the round, so that's nice. 

Life as a Postman

 Hey all,  Another tough day today. My feet are cracked and my left ankle hurts a bit, but nothing too serious. On a different round this week, and it's harder than any I have done before. Lots more walking and it's harder than any rounds I have done before. Much harder on the feet and legs. Also today I realised I ordered some socks, but ordered the wrong size and opened them by mistake before realising. I don't know if Bridgedale will take them back, but I hope they will. It has pissed me off because the socks aren't cheap. They are rather expensive but good for the feet, which is why I ordered them. Not much else to add today. Took a bath, went to bed.
