The postman

[dormouse1953]

The doorbell rang just now and it was the postman with a large package.  Only he pointed out that the name of the package wasn't mine so did I want to take it or should he take it back to the depot.  I didn't recognise the name so he took it away.  As he said, probably for one of the students in the road.

He's been very helpful of late.  Last week I ordered some CDs from an online retailer and they e-mailed me to say they'd been posted Thursday.  They didn't arrive Friday and Saturday morning I had to get some shopping.  As I was leaving the house I saw the postman down the street and realised there was a good chance he'd have to deliver them while I was out.  But as I got to the end of the street, I heard a voice behind me.  The postman was chasing after me, brown package in his hand.  Very helpful.

I was entertained last month by the postman chasing down a neighbour's dog that had escaped when they answered the door to him. The neighbours stood around feebly while the chap spent 5 minutes enticing it back. So much for the postman's nemesis!

We've got the opposite - not our usual postie, parcels going astray and letters arriving in shreds. Not necessarily the postie's fault, but still...
