Twice this week I’ve had a 1am start to haul milk to London. At night I never really get to work on time because I know exactly what time I’m suppose to hit the weighbridge at the Oakthorpe Dairy in North London.
Even so, on the first day I arrived at Oakthorpe 2hrs early and the 2nd day (yesterday), even though I set off later and tried to go slow – I turned up 1 ½ early!
Nevertheless, somehow with all but the greatest planning I couldn’t get my sleep right.
Those of you who follow me on twitter will have noted that I got a little ratty the other day when I pulled in to the ever useless Fleet Services on the westbound M3 for some hot food and a rest – only to find the Burger King and KFC shut until 11am…
I swear, if you want this nations roads and services sorting out – elect a new party at the general election and tell them to hire me to do it. Though it has to bed said, I won’t settle for a civil servants pay to do it! lol
Anyway, I wanted today off and it would appear I’ve got it, also I need Friday and Saturday off.
A new High Viz jacket turned up today and while it is the exact same one as my last one, all I can say is, well – it’s very bright!!
