Well, today I actually got time to play with my Daughter in the snow because I had a late start . We made a snowman and then she decided to smash it . She enjoyed that . When she got cold we went indoors and I got ready to go into work. I sat in the truck until 4 pm when I had a Collection.
It was my job for Tomorrow buts Its today that I'm writing it. I had to go to Brighton for 8.30 am.
I decided to take a proper meal to work because I hate stuffing my face with junk or going hungry after 12 hour shift and no where decent to stop. I bought a new flask and picked up some cup a soups , 2 for a £ at Asda , All you do then is take a flask of hot water and no dirty flask to wash up. I got on to the M1 at around 5 .30 this morning and Just as we reached the M25 the traffic started to slow . I noticed the snow and realised how bad they must of had down there. The fields and the verges were piled high and it was still covering some of the third lanes , I'm writing this while getting loaded and they are calling me so Ill post the rest of the day later . Its now 5.30 pm and still need to be loaded ...... back in a bit
Well I dropped the Brighton stuff off the back with the tail-lift and then headed into Kingston upon Thames. The motorways were running really smooth and it didn't take me to long until I was squeezing through the town centre trying to find my next drop.
It was tricky because everyone seemed to see me and then do whatever they could to get ion front of me ... I had a few near misses today because of the low sun and the salt all over the windows but I made it and dropped off the three boxes.
My next drop was SW7, it was Imperial Collage right next to the V&A museum , I met security at the gate and he told me to park up and see the Lady in reception. She was a lot of help NOT !!
I had a pallet of Sample bricks and 100 kg of clay with me , in the middle of central London in an 18 tonne truck and she was saying she knew nothing about it. If I wasn't as persistent as I was , I would never of gotten it delivered. I had the name of the person who had ordered the goods , I had the company who she worked for, and I had the address, .
The receptionist said she had never heard of them. It was the usual story , sorry , don't know anything ! sorry cant help you .
I rang work and they tracked the customer down to the next floor , I was looking for EWB -UK , the customer worked for Environmental Water Boundary's UK errrrr the clue is in title . I was very polite and just smiled.
I had to take the customer out to the lorry to show her what I was trying to deliver to her because she was asking for it to be taken up to her locker.
I settled on drooping at the goods in lift and got her to sign for it. I could see her Lecturer helping her in with in as I left.
I headed for the A4 Compton rd and then up the M4 and onto the M25 and then homeward bound M1 . I stopped at the Services and had my 2nd Cuppa Soup and set up my Twitter account after hearing about it on 5 live. I had turned off the radio earlier on and put a tape of The Hobbit on but it had finished by then and Simon Mayo was setting up an account on air. Me and Wifey had signed up a while ago but we hadn't really used it , it seems you cant move for twittering this week with all the celebs doing it. I added the twitter link here but I might remove it if it gets too long or I cant edit it.
Ill post some more pics when I find the lead to the laptop , I got them in the internal memory on the camera ,not on a card ! .
