Once every 6 weeks or so I am giving 1214 copies of a magazine (Eastender or New Heart News, but they are practically the same). Each mag gives details of the goings on in and around the Sutton area and it's my job to deliver them.
This batch however was a bit trickier than usual however cause I am now working Saturdays in Virgin and the mag always comes in on a Friday evening. The weather this time of year is an additional problem because when the mags arrive on Friday it was already dark and wet. Saturday was glorious sunny day with birds a singin' and trees whistlin', but I was working as mentioned above.
Sunday was quite wet all day. And while I myself am partial to a bit of God's tears, the paper that the magazines are made out of, are not.
This brought to this morning, still without a single mag delivered. I was up early via the suns warming rays and was out of the house come 9 with around 500 mags in my trolley. I started well but the rain began some time after (I don't know what time cause I never take a watch with me, it's rather nice really). But I stayed my course and it passed. Some time later it again rained, a bit harder but I just stood in shelter and it was gone before long. In this first lot I finished half of Embankment, Stenlake, Stanly, Lucas, Jubilee, Brentor (except No.30) and the upy-downys.
With the first lot done I went home and arrive at 11:45, sat down with some apple juice and meat and watched the end of 3 men and a little lady.
1 o'clock arrived and I was off again with another trolley full. I managed to finish Embankment and added most of Grenville, the Claytons, No.30 Brentor and Limerick to my completed list. Yet my bad was becoming empty so I headed off home to pick up the final lot. Yet before I could leave again it started raining. It didn't stop for a while and by that time there was no point in going out again as it was getting dark and my dinner was done.
So here I am, a few hundred my mags in me trolley still to go and the rest of Grenville, Watsons, Tothill, Cromwell, Desbrough & St.Judes to go. Will I finish them tomorrow? Hopefully.
