The years only just started and the first month is finished.  Funny stuff, time, it can run very slowly or, as with this month, it can pass in a flash.  Anyway the last day of the month went as quickly as every day this month seems to have done.  First load was a full load to the Malton store, accomplished easily enough, there was even a cup of coffee for a thirsty driver, not bad at all.  Second load wasn't a full load but was a mill delivery to Gilberdyke, again easy enough but there was no coffee ;-(  Third load was a full load to Kirkbymoorside store this is usually an easy load but the road between base and Kirkbymoorside has been closed for the next eight weeks so we have to make a four mile detour, and that isn't the official diversion, that would be ten miles or more out of the way.  The real problem for me is that I have to make this detour twice a day as it is between my home and work.  Back to the delivery, all was accomplished easily enough, though Ned who was unloading got wet, it was raining and cold.  But again there was a coffee for a cold wet driver, isn't it amazing what you can get by looking wet and dejected!  Coffee drunk and back to base, collected my tickets for Monday, looks complicated but what the hell that's for Monday.  See you Monday.
