Today must have been one of the hottest this year.  And because I&#8217;m now working from home I can get round to some of those maintenance jobs we simply haven&#8217;t had time for.<\/p>\n<p>I got out the sander and took the top coat off our front door in preparation for repainting.  I was trying to recall exactly when it was done last and it must have been about 5 years ago.  The paint had started to peel and it looked a mess let alone wouldn&#8217;t stand another Winter.<\/p>\n<p>And so the past couple of days I have been re-painting it.  You don&#8217;t know how much you miss behind closed doors or at work.  There are all sorts of goings on that you aren&#8217;t normally privy to.  Like the Gypsy runs that take place.  They drive down our road with lorries looking for scrap metal to sell.  We don&#8217;t just have one, I think we now have 4 different sets of them.<\/p>\n<p>Then there is the postman.  Our&#8217;s has a face like a spanked arse or a bulldog chewing a wasp, go with whichever simile works best.  Lol  He is notorious on this site for being nicknamed The Rammer because that is exactly what he does with our mail.<\/p>\n<p>He simply forces your post in to the letterbox opening in the door and whatever sticks out is left to advertise to the whole street that you aren&#8217;t at home.  Good eh!  Well, I&#8217;ve been spared from having him visit this past few days whilst I have been working outside.<\/p>\n<p>Instead we have a new young, virile guy who I would like to have permanently but unfortunately I bet he is only a temp whilst The Rammer is on holiday.  This morning he passed me the mail and asked if I was well, which was a pleasant change from the grunts I normally get off the other one.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Mr Postie looks quite fit with his athletic build and dark brown hair.  I wonder if he has time for a coffee when he is on his rounds\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week the weather here has improved day by day.
