Looking very warm Monday Tuesday...don't think I'll bother if the temperatures are correct...mind you it said 33c tday and it doesn't feel it ... I'd work in this temperature

[alank]

I will be starting on the glass at 8 a.m. and see how it goes.
We don't have to work in it if it gets in the mid thirties so I won't be.
I will be happy enough to get a bit done early doors then enjoy the rest of the day 

[Soupy]

If I stopped for adverse weather I'd never start

[Shrek]

Me - Full week , full days booked in . Factor 50 Sun cream , white bucket hat , plenty of drinks , a few minutes rest between each job and all is good 👍

[Titan window cleaning services]

Yeah. 2 frozen 2l water bottles in cab. Get it done and go home

[Blue Frog Systems]

Taking Monday off as things to do in the morning for new bathroom. Will see what it's like tomorrow and decide what to do Tuesday

[AuRavelling79]

If I had to I would, but I brought forward work to Friday and Thursday just gone so don't plan to restart until Wednesday.

When it is high 20's forecast I have the two bottles of squash/water in the van and I use the aircon between jobs too.

North of 30 degrees is so rare I take the time off for a day or two.

Off to a beach in South Wales tomorrow. It's 'only' 30 forecast there whereas Bristol is forecast 34/35.

[jonboywalton75]

8 till 11 then chill 🤣

[G Griffin]

If they cancel all the horse racing and the pubs are full because of the beer garden brigade, I might have to go and do a bit of work instead.
But like most others I'll be on the glass early 🍺.

I don't know who the Chancellor is these days- it changes more than the BoJ changes his bird and his story- but I was hoping for a grant to see us through this national emergency.
It looks like I'll have to do some work to pay for the neck oil then  .

[deeege]

Full week of pretty heavy commercial work that needs doing before holidays. Not looking forward to it tbh.

Miserable git.
You should embrace every new day.
And you'll have to knock off early on Friday if you're going watching Paul Heaton, so don't exaggerate, please.

National Emergency, warning to stay indoors and hydrate and you throw caution to the wind and go the beach ?
 

[richard connett]

Told my customers I’m starting early
7-11 . Hopefully won’t get above 30 at that time . Then straight in the lazy spa

I wish I was going. I'd have definitely gone if there'd have been seats left but I don't want to stand with my lad. The Proclaimers and The Lathums, too 🤔.
Enjoy 👍.

Added- we couldn't go anyway as the minimum age is 14.
I hope it rains .

He does have a hotplate though; I've seen the edivence. That'll be his downfall when he gets investigated for tax evasion or money laundering.

I wonder what fish they had. I'm always curious when people say "we had the fish". What sort of fish?

[Slacky]

Doesn't feel that hot out there. Ive done my planned work. Just popped for a coffee think I'll be going back out in 40 mins.

[Stoots]

I've just got a text message

"Hi, just a reminder we will require our conservatory roof cleaning today please, feel free to knock on the door if you need a cold drink, see you soon".

She must be off her rocker, I'm laid in the kids paddling pool  came home an hour ago its 31 degrees our there haha

Seriously a conny roof in this weather must remember to stop saying yes to stuff haha.

Done till weds now.

[G Griffin]

[deeege]

Just back, 8am-3pm. Spent 3 hours this afternoon on a hotel working at full stretch 50ft in the blazing sun. 

[Shrek]

Just got in - 8-3 , drank about 4 litres of juice today . The last couple of hours was hot but was doable, one more hot day lads then down to 20° 😁

[Titan window cleaning services]

Started 6:30 finished 2:30. That was enough for me now beer oclock

[G Griffin]

Any casualties?

[AuRavelling79]

Off to a beach in South Wales tomorrow.

We decided not to in the end. The thought of melting tar and melting us stopped the plan. So we sat outside under the lean-to roof until about ten am (there's posh!) and since then we've sat around the house with fans going but won't use the air con until tonight at bedtime.

Meanwhile little Gold in that there London Town has finished Uni and has gone swimming at one of the lidos before going on shift at the pub where she works. She gets free cold soft drinks on shift and a free alcoholic drink at the end of her shift.

[Jonny 87]

Bunch of snowflakes. 😁

We had a lovely day today, 8:30 till 5 pm.

It genuinely wasn’t too bad in Scotland. 30 degrees-ish tops I reckon.

Even got two calippos and a solero from
Customers. Happy days. 

[Ggh]

Just a normal day in the north west.

[Steven Biggs]

Glad I’m minted . Don’t don’t have to go out cleaning windows in ridiculously high temperatures. Been in and out of the hot tub , all day, which we turned into a cold tub . Ice pops and magnums galore . Have a couple of days off . Back at it on Wednesday.

[windowswashed]

Only got to 29C today, working by the coast witha sea breaze was beautiful. Day off tomorrow, Thursday and Friday now, yippee.

[kikjason]

Worked while 12.30;wasn't that bad really I was going to carry on till I got in car and couldn't even touch steering wheel it was that hot..thought sod that I'm going home😃

I’m 34 but I’ll take all the haribos and ice lollies I can get. 😁

Just getting the van filled up and ready for another day. I’ll do the same as yesterday and just go out, and see how I feel. So far I’m still on track to get my work finished and have some time off at the end of the week. 😎

[dazmond]

When I came out of the gym last night at 930pm it felt very warm...almost like being in Mexico.i drove around a bit with my air con blasting just to cool off after a heavy session....

Last day today then back to normal tomorrow lads.....

One thing I hate about this weather is I don't sleep very well...I think ill take a leaf out of Adams book and buy an air conditioning unit for my bedroom...👍

[EandM]

28.2c at 8am. I believe that is a first for West Dorset.

[markymark]

Well, mixing this with the Heatwave thread, I'm just working slightly shorter days and concentrating on getting through the work. I had a month off in May and now I have to catch up - there are worse problems I know. Plenty of fluids, factor 50 and keeping covered as sensibly as possible and taking my time are key. It's about knowing your limits as it's more a marathon than a sprint.
I'm also using the weather as a TwUnT Indicator - I have a few customers who are quite likely to sit there with a drink and watch me work. They're the ones who will be getting another price hike 

[deeege]

First full day on a 5 day College clean. 28 degrees already.  I reckon this afternoon may be a real test.

[Stoots]

Been sat doing my accounts since half 7 this morning curtains closed and fan on. Just nipped outside to get something, sod that  it's 31 degrees already here 

Why suffer back to normal tomorrow and crack on in relative comfort hopefully

[AuRavelling79]

At 8 am went to Aldi's with Mrs. Gold. Really cool inside - cold even. Filled up at Costco for starting work tomorrow. Back at home by 9.30. 

[alank]

Did a few local finished for 10 and had a cold outdoor shower on the swing seat with a glass of tonic water and ice by 10.30 

[Slacky]

Feels hotter today.

Think Im done for today. That'll do.

[Shrek]

Definitely feels hotter today , finished abit earlier as the last job had work going on

[Slacky]

I went back out and did a couple more.

Im off to Canada for two weeks tomorrow

i worked 815am til 130pm......it was reading 39c in the van on the way home!...this weather could easily tip me over into sun stroke territory i reckon..ABSOLUTELY BAKING OUT THERE!

I would say it could be dangerous working more than 6 or 7 hours in this....it was a lot hotter this morning than yesterday first thing

Just finished. 7:30 - 3:30 but took a full hour for lunch and rested whilst the van filled up.

Wasn’t too bad really, wouldn’t want to be overweight or unfit working in this heat though, then it could get dangerous.

[Stoots]

I went out to fill the van about 2pm, never felt heat like it not even abroad.  I dont know how anyone has worked a full day in that. Glad its over tomorrow 

[Steven Biggs]

It did me in today . Walking to the fridge to get a strongbow . I told the lads , if your having the day off you can get off your lazy arses and be my waiter for the day . That lasted about  2 trips until they rebelled and told me to get my own . Luckily the girls were off school and they still do as there told .
