It's been three weeks into my new job... and I'm still alive!
So far, so good...although I have already got a list of pet hates, (mostly about letterboxes!) a few blisters and very sore feet. I've quickly learned not to underestimate the number of stairs a building can have and how quickly I'm expected to get up and down them, I've met some lovely dogs as well as some slightly evil ones and been warned about a few 'attack' cats.
Definitely the hardest part is the walking. I know that sounds crazy, I'm fairly fit and it's only walking (albeit with a pretty heavy bag) but the distances covered day after day are pretty high...here's a view of my September so far...and I'm not quite doing a full route yet!
It's pretty grueling but I'm feeling like I'm slowly getting used to it so I think I'll survive.
