Started the day having to load, not being back in time to get loaded the previous day.  When I collected the tickets I found a note attached to the first load suggesting that I mix and match the loads as they were both to the same general area.  So for the first load, which was Carlton store I added two drops which, though they were hand ball were easy enough, weeding out all the drops that might be difficult for the second load.  The first load went as predicted and all the drops were easy enough.  I had left my tickets for the second load at base and as I hoped the load was picked when I got back, as it turned out I am pleased it was.  First drop required a call before setting off, three hundred stakes several tensioning posts and several three hundred meter rolls of wire fence.  The customer expected me to off load by hand on my own and stack it in his drive,  while I could have done this it would have taken me the rest of the day and he wouldn't have been able to get to his house.  Luckily when this was pointed out he managed to find a neighbour with a fork lift and it was lifted off for me.  His other problem, if I had tipped it by hand, would have been that he would have to handle every stake again.  Some people!  The rest of the drops went OK but I did run out of hours again and had to have another three quarter hour break all of which meant I didn't get back into the yard until eight in the evening, but that;'s life sometimes.  See you tomorrow.
