Courier Exchange Blog

Hello, darlings!

Well, here we are – the last week of February and we have succeeded on our mission of making the month relatively fun! Well, the last two weeks of it, anyway. And to cap it off, we have everybody's favourite type of post: the reader interaction answers!

Hello, darlings!

Well – I promised fun and, three weeks into February, we're finally having a little fun!

That's right, today's post is that old favourite – a question-and-answer interaction between you, the readers, and your old Aunt Gertie! And for those who thought we had exhausted every single possible aspect of courier work that could be discussed, think again – because I came up with a very original question to ask you lot this time around!

Hello, dears!

Well, as February rolls on, it seems we are destined to talk about important themes, rather than the light-hearted interactions you all love so much. On the flip side, these posts are really useful for those of you carrying out delivery work, and you all make a point of writing in and telling me just that - so I shall continue!

Hello, my darlings!!

Well, another holiday season came and went, and here we are in dull, rainy February. Have you noticed how nothing ever really happens in February? It's probably the least exciting month of the year. Which is why it only seems fitting that we start it with what is a somewhat serious post.

Hello, dears!

Well, we made a rendezvous last week, and you can always trust us (or me, at least!) to keep our appointments, virtual though they may be. So here I am, and here you are – all ready for a new round of reader-interaction answers, fresh out of Gertie's mailbox!

Hello, my dears!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday season, with just the right mix of courier work and free time to spend with family and friends, as well as lots of presents of course! My own Christmas and New Year were pretty quiet, mostly spent with my nephew and his family, as well as my brother, who came down for the holidays and whom I had not seen in a long while! Much reminiscing ensued, of course, as well as games and plentiful cups of eggnog and hot chocolate!

Hello, my dears!

I hope everyone is doing well and staying out of the cold as much as possible. I certainly am – every hour not spent at the Cafe has been spent by the heater, or under a duvet in the company of a good book!

Hello, my darlings!

As always, I hope everyone is staying safe – especially those of you going out there in all types of weather to do your courier work! After all, January in Britain is no laughing matter at the best of times...

Hello, dears!

Well – isn't this turning out to be quite the cheerful month! After spending the first two weeks sharing tips and tricks on how to cope with the pressure a courier driver goes through during this time of year, this week I have what could well turn out to be a bit of good news for all of you!

Hello, my dears!

As the countdown to Christmas continues (both here at Gertie's Cafe and elsewhere around the world), I hope you're ready to get in a bit of a festive mood yourselves – because today, we have that perennial chestnut, a readers' answers post to a topic I've started the week before!
