I was talking to the local postmaster and his wife today and they are getting smashed with click frenzie.
There’s no deliveries out here so it’s a big day out when you go to the post office but they are out of space. Auspost are holding picking up from retailers for 4 days in Sydney due to COVID cases as they can’t cope and the local 5 acre sorting centre has had to stop the conveyor belts at times.
Lord knows what it’s like in Sydney.
Have a heart people. There’s a pandemic on and it’s no fun getting stuff to our doors at the moment whether or not it’s from France or from the local Kmart.
Might even want to consider what’s essential to purchase. Do I really need those Haigues Chocolates right now?

Gotta feel for the posties though. They are incredibly busy at the moment. I'm sure it's no fun for them, just like an endless 'week before Xmas'.
