i was going to work today, but its very windy here too. Not that it bothers me, i just think the water will blow everywhere, and the dust and particles carried in the wind will just stick to the windows, making it harder to rinse down - being in the fens over here, its really flat and the wind carries, sand dirt all sorts from accross the fields, so i dont think that would work for me.

  I won't work in this level of wind, I have had problems before from working in strong winds, as above the dust carried in the wind sticks to the glass and makes a right mess.

the wind down here is something else. Last night I could hear the concrete tiles being lifted on the roof. Good news is that any wind brings in the salt sea spray and keeps me in work.
I have never seen wind like it. I am two doors from the beach in cornwall.

Been cleaning 3 & 4 storey all day today. Blowing sideways and gusty. Just held my brush sideways leaning into the wind to clean the windows and grip the pole very, very, tightly. Definitely windy because my warning signs blew over and that was with the safety cones wedged in between the signs to stop them blowing over ;D It's safe doing windows with recesses but quite scary doing bay windows 4 storeys up ;D
