Title: Who's out working today?
Post by: britishwill on January 23, 2013, 02:27:25 pm
Just seeing who is working today. I checked out the side roads and peoples paths around theirs houses are all iced up. i got the boys to do some leafleting but the paths etc are pretty dodgy. It is also snowing intermitanely which is a right pain in the back side.
I am enjoying an admin day!

Monday - nope - too much snow ice on paths to feel comfortable about it
Yesterday - 10 til 2pm  - Snow laying but melting
Today - 10 til 3pm - Quite a heavy three hours of snow last night but actually a bit better than yesterday and worked in falling snow which came on today for the morning.

Planning on being out tomoz - forecast a fraction colder but little snow falling.

I'm in northeast Pembrokeshire. I had spare days Sat, Mon, Tue and today (cos of Xmas), but I didn't get the few I had on Friday done, so was hoping to do them today. I did 2 of them then it started snowing again. Since 11am today we've had 5 inches on top of the 12 inches we had last week! I don't think i'll be out till Sat at the earliest (given the forecasted thaw on Friday).

I've done one day since last monday because of snow or ice. Its been difficult to walk the dog let alone clean windows. I would sooner wait until the thaw than risk either myself falling or a c ustie than risk a serious injury etc!

I was out of bed at 3am, on the glass at 4, lunch break from 12-1 and then worked up to 4pm.

Not a bad day, should have earned £500 I think, (that's Wfp, of course, you can't trad for those sort of hours in these conditions).

I'm in Middlesborough.

He doesn't, he's joking.
He might get up at 4 but he wouldn't be working.

I wonder what gets up at 4am when it comes to Dora.

Maybe he was desperate to go to the loo.

going out at 12-4pm warmest part of the day and best chance
of getting some work done.

the only time i would be up at 4am would be if i was out tench fishing
only a early summer morning on a estate lake watching the sun rising
with a lovely mist and me enjoying a cuppa and a bacon sandwich

to go to work not a chance ;D
