Hello you It'd be good to see you -from a distance. I've been off work for 3 weeks. I go back on Tuesday. I had a week off with a really bad cough -didn't know what it was & didn't want to spread it about. Then 2 weeks annual leave. I feel like I've retired! Completely lost track of the days & have no routine, so I'm getting up late, mooching around the house, then spending the afternoons at the garage. I've still got the cough & have had a few instances where I've woken up in the middle of the night gasping for breath with a blocked throat, but otherwise fine. I'm actually looking forward to getting back to work now. As far as I know, absolutely no PPE at the Post Office. One per van, but my van buddy Richie's off sick anyway. Non drivers taking part deliveries out then walking home. I'll be out in a van doing mine & Richie's deliveries on alternate days. No overtime being paid, so working till time, then cutting off. Not allowed to hand back holiday dates. I read online today that they don't want to pay those that are self isolating for the bank holidays. Christmas levels of Mail but with 20% of the staff missing. Interesting times! Yep interesting times. I suppose even if the business mail is down with so many people at home internet shopping is going up,which in turn keeps the packet/parcel mail high. Is your litte old Landlady keeping a low profile,she doesn't want to catch this at her time of life.

I've often wondered if you legally need doors. It's got seat belts. Is there a definition of recreational vehicles like jeeps & beach buggies that defines whether they need doors or not? Yes Bob, my landlady's fine. She's 94 & tough as old nails. First day back at work today after 3 weeks off. We're delivering large parcels, special delivery & tracked items, plus the letters for those households, then anything else we think we can get done. I'm covering all of that on 2 deliveries. I took the letters for 6 complete roads as well, but there's still a backlog. We're missing a quarter of the staff at the moment. The road I live in hasn't been delivered for a week, so I did it on my way home.

Alfie? Thanks. It's getting there, slowly. When you look at it every day you don't notice the differences, but remembering it as it was when we first drove it, it's changed a hell of a lot. I swapped the wheel nuts for some better quality ones that arrived in the Post today. I forgot to take my reading glasses with me & ended up changing the same nut 3 times -I'm blaming it on the glasses anyway.

Fitted the fuel pipe spigot to the rear tank & hooked it up to the pump, via a filter, (it's further from the exhaust than it looks).

Not happy with the exhaust flanges. The lefthand one sits too close to the axle & is at an odd angle. Can't do much about it at the moment, but at some point it needs to come off & be re-done.
