The first of March already, the year is one sixth gone and it's only just started.  It'll be Christmas before I know it.  But that's enough of that.  On a more cheerful note it has been a good day here and I've been off work for the day, using my last day of holiday before the end of the month.  We aren't supposed to carry any time over to the next holiday year and it starts again in April.  Monday was a longer day than I thought it would be when I set off in the morning.  I got diverted to another collection south of Lincoln so I had a late finish.  Tuesday I had Easingwold store before starting my normal run and I had to do the collection that I'd been diverted from the day before as well as the collection that was booked for the day.  I was told the second collection was only a small one, about three pallets.  Looking at the ticket I made it eleven. As it turned out I was correct, eleven as well as four from the missed collection.  Weight wasn't a problem as the goods were light and I doubt if I had eight tonnes in total but I was full. On the good side this year has been the best year for snowdrops that I have known.  I have a height advantage from my driving position and from the truck seat I see more than anyone in a car can.  The snowdrops have been and still are putting on a great display.  These small white flowers add a wonderful dash of colour  to the otherwise dull February countryside.  See you tomorrow, I'm back at work.
