No window cleaning for me today in ( sunny , hot - err not this year ) Cornwall:-\
I feel very sorry for any body camping on holiday here at the moment - particularly families :-\
I've heard a lot of folks down here camping have packed up early on gone home due to there campsite becoming water logged.
Lets just hope this small natural climatic cycle, and not a long term cycle due to Earths rapid warming.

Blowing a gale in Plymouth too mate!!

-
Already got large branches down here in Tavistock and the rains heavier than a sureflow pump on full...... lol
At least all my paperwork is up to date.... And the van maintenence..... and oddjobs around the home...... I think it will be a day of catching up on dvds or tidying up the garage...... :(

Same here further along the coast opposite the Isle of Wight. Lost out yesterday and today's going to be the same. Saturday working planned, but they say it's going downhill again at the weekend.

I'm wanting to Protecacote my van, and service it too - but need a dry day to do it, and when its dry I have to work.
I was never this far behind last year !!
The one thing that frustrates, me about this job is -' OK' I reside to the fact I can't work today - but then also I can't catch up on my own jobs as they are all outside !! >:(
I feel like a caged animal......
Might get me Cag on and go for a walk on the coast ( once my paperwork/PC work is done) :-\
-
Oh.... and theres always stuff to sell on Ebay.
Been meaning to get round to that for months.
There will be some WFP stuff going on there to... ;) ;)

What do the wfp guys do in this weather? I carry on doing trad up to a point but now with this rain I'm thinking that wfp is not as good as it seams.

Hay M .. Where abouts in Cornwall are you?
Personally for me I'll work through drizzle, and if it pours whilst doing a job I'll finish in the rain.
But I won't go to work if its set in for day, I won't bother going out as most of my customers are domestic. My commercials, and shops however, I'll do in any weather.
-
its been bad here for the last 3 days but it hasn't knocked our schedules as we work through it. its not been that bad that its dangerous so we keep going

womens olympic beach volleyballs on so I'm happy ;D

I returned from my 2 week holiday at the week end stayed near St Austell,we had 9 days of rain :'(
-
I clean a lot of holiday homes in my area, and meet the guests staying there - not many are having the holiday there expected.
Yesterday as I was driving out of Padstow there was a queue that must have been approaching a mile long just to get into the town :o
As the beaches are too wet or windy to spend the day on, folks are flocking to the towns for anything to do - makes driving on the lanes a nightmare, but then you can't blame them :-\
Business's at the beaches must be having a hard time, as they need this period to make there living.
We normally spend most summer evenings at the beach - this year we've not be inspired to spend the evening down there once !!!!!! :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Sounds to me like you either need new water-proofs, or you need to do the zip up ;D

3 big houses and a big PVC commercial weatherboard clean for me today,and it was blowing a gale.

Well it cleared up here - sun came out, winds dropped ( a bit) and managed to get out and get some windows cleaned, and a new customer too ;D
A complete contrast to this morning.
Good effort for getting in those gales and showers Dave.......... ;D

Sunny all day in manchester!! Only pain was it took 2hours for motorway traffic to clear up this morning so only started at 10am, did till 6 though and caught up!!

Blowing a gale & chucking it down Iin Torquay. Finished at 6pm soaked through.

Roll on the winter when the holidaymakers have stopped congesting the local roads and the sun returns ;D
-
So so Guildford way, difficult, didn't chuck it down, but did get wet now and then. Wfp is difficult with all the hoses grubby.

The thing is that they need to clean thier caravans out now and then so this is a good opportunity to do thier chores. I don't worry about them myself, they'll come back next year.
