I’ll do up to late morning on Friday.

I’ve got a big solar panel cleaning job near Heathrow to deal with between Christmas and New year.

Back first week of the new year.

Couple hours tomorrow, then give the van a thorough clean in and out then that’s me until new year. Might clean the windows at home if she asks nicely tonight.  ;D

Start back on Monday 3rd even though it’s a Bank Holiday, got a school to clean and it’s the only suitable day.

Ready for the break this year.

Full frenzied day tomorrow, going in to Xmas a week behind but that's better than some years. Not back until the 4th, if I feel like it. Or maybe the 5th. A subdued week or two just relaxing, probably prep my van and gear the day before I get back on the glass. Good riddance to 2021, roll in 2022. Hope you all have a relaxing and enjoyable Christmas and New Year

Now I know why I was a bit under the weather, it wasn’t the booster jag at all, I’ve  just recorded a  positive test  on a lateral flow, going for PCR test at 2:00………..Bah humbug!

Do you have compulsory holiday on Christmas Eve? We have stutdown between Christmas & New Year. I assume that like me, it's the only genuine downtime of the year. Even if I'm on holiday I'm still "responsible" for everything, but at Christmas we're shut. I love it.

Something very magic about being a wc and Christmas, it comes at the worse time of year, dark and miserable, it takes a real effort to try and get everything done and then you get that wonderful feeling that you've got there, cleaning done, van washed, pole stripped and cleaned, bookwork done and absolutely nothing to do now till the New Year. Just working my way through a bottle of red with a real glow inside. Merry Christmas everyone, enjoy the rest, you've earnt it.

Paid day off today (not using up holidays). For over 20 years we've tried to get everything done by Christmas Eve and be off until after new year, which this year is the 5th (there's two bank holidays in Scotland 3rd and 4th) This is the first time we've actually managed it, and with a day to spare.

Christmas and indulgence go hand in hand, i'll deal with it in New Year but have to say even i was surprised at how much i put on. I found giving up smoking a walk in the park compared to behaving on the diet front. If previous years are anything to go by, it settles down after a couple of weeks back at work, but that 1st weeks going to be a bit sluggish. :)

I eat too much over Xmas but I always keep a bit of exercise going(walking the dog,drumming,etc every day) during the holidays..I'm helping the missus decorate the downstairs toilet tomorrow and Thursday so I'm on a promise Thursday night! ;D

I usually manage a few gym sessions too but I'm sacking it off til January... :)
