Good morning from an already warm and sunny Suffolk. An early coffee has been had as I'm off on a ride out for lunch and train home today. Setting off in a little over an hour to avoid the worst of the heat and hoping to find some shade outside or an air conditioned interior at the destination.

@Illaveago - agree it'll be an improvement. We seem to get deliveries 2-3 days a week, not 6.

I'm on the Royal Mail panel and am paid in stamps. Yep, @postman - I'm one of those that secretly reports on deliveries . Does that count?

Good morning all, clear blue skies with that big ol' orange orb blazing away 😎
First cuppa has been assembled ready for consuming

Don't worry, I've just had one for you.

Edit - that's two this week which is more than I've had all year so far.

Geeeez thanks 😁
Although I was still paranoid for most of my ride last night, thankfully all was well

Ah yes. THAT look.

The one that says "I haven't been fed in a month!"

I know it well...

I think having a cat is great if you're looking to lose a little weight, especially if you're keen on fish, you'll never get a full meal to yourself

So officially now. 1st class can take 3 days to arrive.

When I 'worked' for Royal Mail at the end of the last millennium, 1st Class had to be back at the depot by 15:00. That was then trunked all over the country to be delivered the next day.

Second cuppa went down well with a slice of toast and red jam.
I have a couple of deliveries due next few days one I know about the other is a surprise from the boss ......

Yet more cliffhangers

 

[classic33]

The golf course grass cutter opposite started early this morning, so I'm awake since 6am.

Why can't they start on the other side? Why always start on mine?

Not supposed to start whilst 8am!

 

[classic33]

Ofcom are going to allow Royal Mail to deliver 2nd class mail on alternate week days.

That will be an improvement!

We don't have First Class mail, despite paying for it.

Now that would be nice. But the course opens for play at 8am so apparently they can't do that.

A question... The law says that, when out with a dog, a means of clearing up 💩 must be carried. .
Does that mean you have to carry 2 poo bags because after the first offering has been picked up you will have no way of retrieving any second helpings..

You're expected to be carrying more than one round these parts.
Fines have been issued for having only the one.

Just checked, and whilst it's not illegal it's not recommended. Action can be taken by the council to repeated claims.
Recommended hours being 8am 'til 8pm Monday to Friday and 10am 'til 5pm on Saturdays.

I've never been approached by the Poo Monitor to ask the question.
Personally, I take 4.

Community wardens* will ask if they see your dog going and you not making any attempt to clear up afterwards.


*Assuming they're out and about.
