It's going to be hot next week chaps. 27 degrees on Monday where I am.
Worst time of the year to be a window cleaner I was sweating enough in 21 degrees the other day.
Horrible

I’ve just said the same thing worse time of the year to start this job imo.
-
You moan if it’s wet and can’t work now you are complaining it’s to hot you are never happy think you are in the wrong job 😂😂😂😂😂

I may take one of my Goretex jackets off but still wear my ski pants. I’ve still got my heated seats on and use hot water. I’m off to the Gym. I’m 51 and part time.
-
I’ll be home before 12 everyday next week. Not because it’s hot, but because it’s what I do every day ;D
-
I'll turn the AC up in the Jag 8)

I had a convo with a postwoman today and we all too briefly discussed our favourite best working temperature and weather. While yakking I kept my eyes off of her long, tanned athletic legs and shorter than usual shorts too. (She seemed to have no problem keeping her eyes off of my white spindly - at least twice her age - horse frighteners as well. ;D)
We both agreed that 15 degrees was perfect.
-
I love the summer, absolutely love it.
Only find it hard Graft in the late 20’s to 30’s. Anything 26 and under is perfect.
-
I might complain if it gets up to the late 30s like it did last year, I have been enjoying the weather 8)

27c today ....beautiful. All up to date with work so next week off!

Life's really too short to do a job that you hate...I feel sorry for you
I did finish early(1pm) last year when the temperature hit 39c one day...you run the risk of heatstroke in that heat but 27c you should be fine.
I take plenty of fluids,fruit and sun cream,cap and sunglasses
Also air con is fantastic in between jobs and lunchtime if you have it in your van....👍
-
I wouldn’t ever buy a van without air-con.

I was working up in Sherborne yesterday afternoon where it was 26c-29c.
One house for 4.5 hours involving some gutter cleaning with the vac and fascia and soffit, at some odd angles.
The rest was just two fairly straightforward conservatories and about a dozen windows.
Ordinarily, my heart rate would be around 100-120 apart from a few moments of lifting or climbing.
I find yesterday's readings a little excessive considering the only unusual factor was the temperature.
Dazmond, you know about these things. Does that unusual to you?
-
Nothing to worry about mate....fascia and gutter cleaning is hard work!
How fit are you generally?I gather you don't smoke tobacco or drink heavily on a consistent basis?
-
Keep your fluids up and take the odd break(in your van with air con if you have it)in future...👍

Thanks for that, much appreciated.
54, non-smoker, non-drinker, 6'3", 13.5 stone. Generally, at least 5,000 steps a day, cycling with my kids and a mile walk with the dog in the evening.
Never really had any trouble before until I had my second covid jab at 52 and suddenly developed some heart issues,
Apparently they were just temporary but it took a good year or so before I felt properly well again.
Just been a bit mindful of it ever since.

The heat will cause your heart to beat faster to maintain your core body temperature esp when working hard...that's why it's important to take regular breaks to cool off and drink plenty of water.👍

Great resting heart rate mate
-
To be honest I don’t know much about heart rate or blood pressure. As long as I still wake up in the mornings will do me!
-
Always amuses me when customers go "its lovely for you working in this".
Anything above 20 is a killer. 15 degrees the best.
Also sun in your eyes aint fun.

Never touched those ‘vaccines’. Wife never did either and she works at the local NHS Hospital.
Know many people who had bad reactions. I’m all for vaccines, but I’m absolutely not for brand new, untested mRNA technology.
Hope you stay well, some have been severely injured by the vaccines.

Thank you kindly, that's much appreciated.
I often react badly to most prescription drugs so I avoid them where possible. Not brilliant with alcohol either which Is why I don't drink - well that and two kids to look after,
But for covid, I was in the high risk group - over 50 and with asthma - so it was trying to decide between the lesser of two evils.
I had four trips to Hospital for a CT scan, chest x-ray and few other tests and due to it taking months, nothing was found to be amiss.
I spoke to a customer who is an A&E nurse at the same hospital and she said they saw loads of people with the same reactions!
However, officially, it's perfectly safe...
I described the symptoms to her and she reckoned, from experience it was either myocarditis or pericarditis.
I'm not a tin foil hat wearer but talking just to my customers I found five of them, of a similar age to me, all had exactly the same reactions. One had the paramedics out twice as they thought she was dying and another was horribly unwell.
They all seem to be mended now but it took all of us a great deal of time.
I've always been very fit and not thought too much about my own mortality but I must admit this freaked me out!
-
Don’t worry it’s not tin foil hat stuff.
At the end of the day, the reason mRNA vaccines have never been used is because they always produced clots and bleeding in animal tests.
Most people will be fine, but a multitude of people were injured/died as a direct result of the jabs.
We had delta and we were all fine, so didn’t ‘need’ the vaccine anyway. Natural immunity is far superior. Lasts longer and gives better protection.
I’m very much for vaccines, my kids have had all their routine vaccines, but I’m not ok with these mRNA jabs. Way too much risk involved compared to the risk of serious illness from covid.
You’re probably ok now, just do all you can to keep improving!
-
I went for my jab and refused it as it was the astra zeneca. The blood clot one. In the end I had the Pfizer but only 1 dose never had the 2nd but I can't do needles without having a panic attack which was embarrassing laid in a bed in a tent in a morrisons car park :D

Sweating out after the first job today.
Bring back winter.

It was disgusting as expected. Slathered in suncream and sweat, I can't see the joy in it.
