October is over half way gone, why has time changed? I'm sure time is speeding up, I remember years lasting much longer when I was at school. I am writing this on Sunday night and am desperately trying to remember what happened on Friday. That''s another problem I seem to have as I get older, the days all merge together. Perhaps its due to the changes that have happened to time. Back to Friday, so far as I can remember everything went well. My truck is in for service so I was driving a twelve plate Daf. This truck is not only newer than my Merc but it is lighter and has, approx, another hundred horse power. Yes it will climb Whitwell hill on the A64 without having to change down once, never mind three times. The load for Friday kept getting bigger, initially it was Carlton store and three drops but then I was handed tickets for Malton store and lastly one ticket for Gate Helmsley store. And all this after delivering a full load of fencing timber to Chop Gate. But still not to worry everything will only take as long as it takes, and it did. Really the whole day went well the only bad point was realising that whilst the mirrors on this truck, and there are six attached to the cab, give excellent views of what's behind they create a blind spot to the right. This is especially apparent when approaching small roundabouts as I found out. I must apologise to the white van man whom I very nearly pulled out in front of, I really didn't see you for the mirrors, please accept my humble apologies. My only excuse was that I'm not used to the vehicle, but at least I did manage to stop in time. See you all Monday, hope you have had a good weekend.
