Hello, my dears!

Before we get started with our discussion for this month, I have an announcement to make. Posts over the next couple of weeks may seem a little topical - as in, focused around a specific theme. And that's because, this past week, I celebrated my birthday!

What Type Of Courier Driver Are You?

Posted by Gertie on 15-Apr-2016 11:02:15

Hello, my dearies!

Before I begin, let me say – for the hundredth time – how much I love having you all as readers. I don't usually have time to talk about the number of messages I get to my email week in and week out (except when I'm talking about answers to a reader interaction), so believe me when I say, it's quite a significant amount! And most of them talk about how my blog is one of their Internet 'pit stops' every week, and their favourite place to read about and discuss what it means to be a courier driver. So thank you all very, very much, and I hope I can continue being a source of enjoyment for you with my little corner of the Internet.

Hello, my dears!

Well, what can I say? I do love being right! Last week, I predicted that whatever answers my darlings gave to the reader interaction question of the week would be varied, interesting, and worth the trouble of coming up with a question in the first place. And wouldn't you know it, this week, you lot proved me right – again.

Hello, my loveys!

Well, here we are – we made it through another month. Blimey, but that went quick, didn't it? Didn't hurt that we decided to take it easy and be a little more light-hearted than usual in our approach to couriering. I think we ended up having a fair bit of fun – don't you?

Hello, my loves!

Well, March Marches on (see what I did there?) and we're still getting good weather, so hopefully this will continue. I don't know about anybody else, but I've had a share of chill to last me the year – winter seemed endless, didn't it?

So that's why, instead of the stodgy stuff we've discussed over the winter, I thought we might do something a little bit more light-hearted this month. After giving it a bit of thought, I had the perfect idea – we'll use our usual reader interactions to play a couple of games…
