I only seem to have record years when the personal tax allowance goes up. Strange that.

I work in rain. Had a good soaking this morning. I just don't work in wind and rain. As long as the rain is coming straight down it's fine. If the rain is coming sideways and hitting the glass then it can cause issues.
Tomorrow is definitely wet and windy, Friday is touch and go, BBC keep changing the outlook.
I'm working this Sunday and next Sunday on commercial stuff so I suppose a week day off won't harm.

There will be three of us out today. We had one "not today" in the rain yesterday. Annoying but just move on. If we get a call back we go back.
