Window cleaning is poope, that doesnt sound like window cleaning though

I couldn’t ask for a better job living here. Absolutely love my job now. In the UK I’d grown to dislike the work in general on top of the fact it was tediously boring.

Today I was cleaning a chaps windows with wildlife around like from a David Attenborough documentary.

Zoom in on the pic, that’s a bald eagle on the rocks. When I went a couple of weeks ago to have an initial look at this job there was a brown bear on the track down through the trees.

No I’m still working the same as always.
No change whatsoever.
I’m 58.
NHS waiting time - how long is a piece of string! Can’t help you there mate.
Tip - buy a spare ‘belt’ as over  time the Velcro fails.

Well my delivery from Anne Summers has arrived! Ordered this morning from Amazon and arrived at 8.30pm so tried it out and got Mrs. Gold to help me adjust it ... ooooh ... errr....  ;D

Cleaned my upper windows including my xtreme 47 on my loft rooflight.

Worked fine! Felt a bit 'new' and bulky to start but actually ok.

Taken off now I've stopped trying it out.

If not too personal a question do you wear it just for work or for all waking hours? Or what?

I think he meant to say the flexibility of being able to take holidays when you want

Yes, no other job gives the flexibility that window cleaning does. Bought a load of jewellery at Wilsons auction on net which was down in Dalry. Cleaning windows today down that way and picked the stuff up. Lost less than an hour on my visit to Dalry and not a bit of sand in sight compared to Dubai.

Sounds like a good excuse to retire

You give up too easily.....its only a hernia....if he wears the appropriate clothing and is a bit more mindful in his approach to his working day he ll be fine....

Good luck Malc....my brother has had 2 hernias and  its a very common,straightforward procedure for a health professional to work on. He didn't do much after each op but he's more of a sedentary person than us window cleaners.

My son just had one repaired just above his belly button,  have to wait about 4 weeks, went in hospital 7 am was home by 11 am.
Was not allowed to lift anything  for 3 weeks then after that another few weeks  of very little light lifting, was told not to work for 6 weeks but went back after 5 weeks just ground first floor pole work but taking it very easy, 3 months on back to normal.

Hope you get yours sorted out soon
