Still as infrequent as ever, don’t panic. Quick update since last post, Ashington lost to Grimsby but we had a great day anyway. They’ve progressed in the FA Vase though and we’ve had away days, last one to Milton Keynes, and have another one on 12th Feb, 300 mile trip to Gloucestershire. Disco Bus warmed [...]

Been a while again, I should set this up to set out an apology at the top of each new message ;-) New job is great, did 10-6 for a while then they decided it wasn’t working the way they wanted so moved us to 07:30-15:30, works great for them, not so great for us [...]

I must remember to update this at normal times and not when lying in bed and not tired. New job is going great, makes a huge difference knowing what jobs I’m on daily and knowing what my days off will be. My long weekend this weekend, although I’m on holiday next week so slightly longer [...]

After 4 years as a 20 hour reserve float postie, which meant no set day off and no set duty, just whatever I was placed on, I have had my hours upped to 33 and have a set float of my own. This means I cover the days off of posties on the same 5 [...]

Mini Meet – May 15th 2011 – Seaton Sluice/Druridge Bay, a set on Flickr. A day out in the Beetle, starting at The Melton Constable at Seaton Sluice followed by a 20 mile or so drive to Druridge Bay where we thought we’d support the organisers of The Mighty Dub Fest as they were there [...]

Well, I’d planned a 40 mile or so ride for today. Forecast was good and Bev was at work all day so the plan was to head up to Alnmouth, with a flask of coffee and some cake to enjoy the day. Woke up with a splitting headache and feeling “squiffy”, my technical term. Decided [...]

Well it must be close to it, that’s for sure. A nice lie in till 08:30ish and started the day with coffee in the sun in the garden, where, even at that time of day, the thermometer in the sun trap was recording almost 30deg. We did a Sound of the Suburbs morning, where I [...]

Had some fun since I last spoke here, got to see some bands, drive the Beetle and ride my bike, hey maybe not exciting to some but good for me. Pics will be added at the end. Bands were The Blisters and The Half Cuts, bands from Ashington, both containing Posties. The Blisters were ‘headlining’ [...]

Just a quick update for anyone that didn’t see my tweet the other day, sadly I didn’t get the job I was interviewed for. I got a nice rejection email though:- Thank you for attending the recent interview for the above position, we enjoyed meeting you. I regret that on this occasion we will not [...]

Had a busy week! Last Friday Bev and I took a trip South to Lincolnshire, Woodhall Spa to be exact, to the Bainland Country Park where we met up with our friend Andrew, who travelled North from Watford. We had a fantastic, quiet, weekend doing not much more than eating and drinking :D The food [...]
