 Part 34 Back onto a route I know quite well today, so it wasn't a bad day. Once you learn a round you can get around it relatively quickly so you can finish on time. The problem is getting to learn the round!  Part 35 Long day, 30 mins overtime today in a place called Comberton Part 36  Same as above, but 60 mins overtime!  Part 37 Messed up a collection today, thought it was in one village, when it was in another. Made me a bit late as I had to go back and get it! Also, the person giving me the collection hadn't labelled it right so it was an added delay there as well.  Part 38 Had some colleagues come and help me out today, so got done well on time, got back to the depot and had to do some door to door work on the frame before I could go. 

Part 29 - Same route again but with someone else. The Royal Mail sure enjoy putting random people with other people. Every day is different for sure.  Part 30 - Back in a place called Cambourne today. Was with someone who knew the route well, so got it done on time. Then went to help out another postie to get their round finished.  Part 31 - Worked with an ex-footballer today. Interesting. Part 32 - Day Off. Part 33 - Out in another village today, with one of the usual guys and a slightly crazy guy. You certainly meet some characters in this job! 

Part 24 - Back on a shift I shall dub as 'Gladiator Road' because that's the name of one of the roads you need to deliver to (a long one). Got finished on time, and even found a bit of time to help out a colleague with a bit of the area they were doing. Not a bad day overall.  Part 25 - Day Off. Yay. Part 26 - Was a long, long day today, with a lot of mail to go out. It was the Gladiator Road one again, and on top of it all, the traffic was terrible when driving back to the office. Ended up doing overtime in the end.  Part 27 - Another hard day today. Was put on a route I didn't really know, with another guy who also didn't know the route. It made delivering difficult as we were constantly working out what needed to come next. Very difficult indeed. Also ended up doing overtime again.  Some of the Royal Mail Official kit arrived today though, and I have to say that the kit is pretty good. Decent shoes, nice jacket and the shorts are decent as well. Can't com...
