wet n windy in somerset

going to have the day putting together a letter for the gutter cleaning ,and then stat to send it out along with my flyer to the local nursing homes and blocks of flats ect in my area

when i look around there are so many full gutters all that work , but even on a day like today with high winds, we would not be able to clean them out.

wanted to put a small box advert in our local paper this week , drew it up and went in and they wanted £70 + vat for one week 2.5cm X5cm  they must be having a laugh so i am now looking at having my flyers delivered £25 per thousand to the post codes of my choice

Well I've got a regular shop to go and do in a minute.
It's in walking distance so I tend to walk it as it's a real hassle parking in the town centre.
Then a stroll to the janitorial shop as there are a few bits I want to order.
Then I'll see what the weather is doing when those tasks are completed.
Rain I will do up to moderate/heavyish.
High winds or very heavy rain, I won't.

I've decided to write the day off as well.  Plenty of other stuff to do anyway.
It's not the rain, it's the wind.
Could be a safety issue trying to control the pole in gusts like that.
Apart from that I don't need to work because I won the lottery last night.
I won't spend the tenner all at once.
