A Giant Redwood, on someone\u2019s drive!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was out delivering this afternoon. In some lovely villages, like Barnack and Helpston. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Bishops walk, Bainton, there\u2019s a massive Sequoia, or Giant Redwood. More or less in someone\u2019s front garden!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The picture above does it no justice whatsoever. It has a presence and impact that requires being there. The picture below, however, does a marginally better job\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got home in the dark. I\u2019m not massively keen on delivering in the dark. But at present I\u2019m only getting depot shifts. Which are longer. And occasionally I can\u2019t avoid doing evenings, if I\u2019m to hit my earning targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mozzer\u2019s grocery store shifts have almost totally dried up. For me, at any rate. I wonder why? In the last three weeks I\u2019ve only done two! And usually they account for 50% or more of my hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once home, Teresa had a lovely curry ready. Antonio pitched in with a healthy salad. My contribution was cherry pie and extra-thick double cream!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it was bath, \u2018n\u2019 bed. Where I am now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plan was to read some more War of Wars<\/em>, and then off to Snoozey-ville. Tomorrow is a blessed day off. Hallelujah!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I realised today that I don\u2019t have Dan Hicks first studio album (pictured above). Nor his 1978 It Happened One Bite.<\/em> I\u2019ve remedied the former omission. And I look for\u2019ard to bathing in that goodness soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
