Hey guys!

Yes, it's me again, Steven. No, I have not kidnapped Aunt Gertie, she's not tied up anywhere – and I haven't taken over her blog, either. In fact, while last time it might have been me imposing on her, this time she was the one actually asking me to write a second post! So you see, there's nothing to worry about – all of this is intentional and perfectly coordinated!

Hello, darlings!

Today, I don't want to waffle on too much in this first paragraph, because the idea I had for the actual post is so much fun that I can't wait to share it with all of you! It's a reader interaction, as you might expect, and it has a funny story behind it. So the only detour I'm going to make this time around is going to be so I can recount that.

Courier Jobs: How Do You Like Yours?

Posted by Gertie on 01-Apr-2015 12:07:19

Hello, my dears!

How are we all? Enjoying the warmer weather and looking forward to summer, I hope? I know I certainly am. I am enjoying the way business at the cafe has been picking up, too – while it can get busy sometimes during the chillier months, there is always more movement when the weather is hot, and there are more drivers out and about on their haulage and courier jobs in dire need of a coffee and sandwich! Some of those who come through are on day-long or several-day jobs – explaining the need for on-the-road nourishment – but some mostly work locally, and come in because they like my cooking, the coffee-brewing, and the bit of banter I always offer.

Courier Jobs In An Ideal World – Your Answers!

Posted by Gertie on 11-Mar-2015 12:36:16

Hello, my darlings!

Well...you know what I'm going to say in this part of the post, don't you? I don't even need to start. "Amazing answers; you lot really came through; this is why I love doing reader interactions with you people," and so on and so forth. It feels as though I say this every other week and, while it does bear repeating, I'm sure at some point it gets tiresome!
