Funny you say that, as I was going through ALL the names of the members on CIU, from A-z and imagined giving each one a £10 note...
... then I woke up when a jet of water hit me in the face, or was it a streak of pi55 from a goat in the field? I dunno, even to this day.
-
Time to get worried when that starts!
Hope you're worried Andy! ;D ;D ;D

Only swear to myself never talk.

I talk to myself all the time, its the only way I can get a sensible answer.

Clint Eastwood as a lone gunman against many always needed an edge. He rode down the hill with the sun glinting at his back, his adversaries unable to make him out at first, then realising the danger too late shooting wildly. His gun began to blaze and they began to fall........
Afterwards the sun shimmered over the fallen like the steam coming off my hot system brush as I pull away from the last window.
-
I sing to myself, and sometimes the customers (if they are about, without me realising). The day passes really quickly when I'm happy. To passers by I must seem happy and mad. At least it's better than being quiet and bored stiff.

For some reason the 1980 olympic games eight and fifteen hundred meters. I'm usually Ovett, and I very often win at both distances.
-
Yes I do. Like Vince, it is the only sensible conversation I get. ;D

Ive been thinking of learning an other language !
the down time for my brain is just to much sometimes may as well put it to some good use :)
-
i got me radio on the phone, thats good seomtimes, when the dam plug doesnt keep popping out >:(
-
Sometimes I daydream and forget which windows I've done. Its scary. Window cleaning is so repetative you sort of hypnotise yourself.
The idea of learning another language appeals to me

When I'm going for it I have no problems as I'm always thinking of my next move but when I'm chatting to customers whilst working, I sometimes get engrossed in the conversation topic and forget if I cleaned a particular window. Then I have to walk back and inspect the window to double check to put my mind at ease.
If left alone for long periods of time with no distractions on large jobs, I also feel like I'm hypnotising myself because I'm so relaxed, calm and peaceful with my thoughts, daydreaming and singing in my head.
I can't think of many jobs that allow you the opportunity to drift off in your thoughts whilst earning a good wage at your own pace.

Just yesterday I was thinking that the earth rotates around the sun every 365 days (we measure it approximately although it happens more accurately outside my head), and I started wondering how long a sun orbit is? And what does it rotate around? And if the sun is in orbit as it must be then the earth is in an even bigger orbit than just the one around the sun so do the stars orbit too? Where do they go?
Then I finished and had to wind my hose up...........it is getting too heavy to lift into my wrecked old van!
