...with brand new studded tyres, a brand new side view mirror...and he's clean, so very clean (and we have every intention of keeping him that way, poor thing)!
snapped a few snowy pics out on my round in maria park yesterday...it isn't easy being a postie in this weather at times.
as for the walls of snow in front of the letterboxes...I have few theories as to why that is:
- news of the invention of the snowshovel is yet to reach parts of maria park
- the concept of the snowshovel and how it is best best put to use is completely lost on some people
- nature should be kept all natural and remain free from human intervention
(walter playing hide and seek..took me a while to find him actually!)
(ah, one of my favorites...20' of snow in front of a letter box always cheers me up)
(one almost get the feeling that the people that live here have an aversion to us postie's...?!)
(a bit like climbing a very tall mountain...and once you get to the top you receive your reward...force opening a frozen letter box that nearly take your fingers off...life is so, so sweet)
(maybe I'm paranoid...but I get the feeling they did this on purpose, just to annoy me)
postman in swedish is brevbärare, which translates as letter carrier...may I suggest the revised and more accurate title: "allväders-terränggående-brev-och-paket-leverantör" (any-weather-any-terrain-letter-and-parcel-delivery-person...or something like that...crap translation...sorry).
