Immingham Bulk Park. I wonder if I have been forgotten!

Yes there really is a company called John Doe Ltd. I collected poultry grit from them today. And it's a good load.

A nice place to stop for lunch, about four miles from my destination in Penistone for a mill collection.  Just done Carlton store and two farm drops, all went well. I am still limping from a twisted ankle and I find it bloody irritating. I haven't even looked at the collection ticket, but it doesn't matter as the loading staff won't look at it either and I'll get what I'm given.  I'm not sure but there might be a store delivery when I get back.  Hope not it is Friday after all.  See you Monday.

Strange day.  Loaded first thing, not a complicated load but when the forklift picked up one of the first of five packs of timber he was nearly on two wheels. I got the five packs on and weighed, 16360 kg I'm only allowed 18000. The items for the next two drops brought me to weight so I refused the last drop.  The weight of timber varies greatly depending on its moisture content. The first two drops were in my usual area, one stable drop and one farm drop, Both easy enough, the young lady at the stables even helped, that's very unusual for a stable yard.  The last drop was at or near Rettford which is well out of our usual area but I found it easy enough. The question is will the customer be able to find it in the yard.  Though it was a farm drop the yard was more like an industrial estate. I think I got a peek at the future of farming. See you tomorrow.

This is a good load and reasonable drive back,   all in all it should make a good end to what has been a bad week.  Most of the problem has nothing to do with work and much more to do with the fact thaI  I badly twisted my ankle early on Monday morning and have been limping ever since.  This will sound stupid but the truth is the damage was done to my ankle whilst trying to sneak up on a rabbit. Why was I trying to sneak up on a rabbit?  Well the rabbits from hell are destroying my newly planted orchard and I only have an air rifle.
