hi karl is it keeping you from working?whats made it worse was the fact my clutch went on my van last week so i had most of the week off with no van!!!now this!!!

just recently bought a 25ft SLX with aqua-daptor and booked in extra conny roof/fascia cleans etc.ive had to cancel them all for the forseeable future!!

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change...



(Sorry, I couldn't help it, Daz.  Get well soon, mate.  It's a bugger being off when you want to work.)

[NJWindowCleaning]

Sorry to here that you are injured hope you do get better friend. Least there all this sunny you could top up your tan while your off work 

[dazmond]

gaz to be honest mate a calf injury is not as bad as ligament damage in the ankle area mate!!ive never had anything like this before.if i try to get back to work too early it could make it a whole lot worse!!at the moment it feels like ill never be able to walk on it again!!

cheers tosh.yes its a big word ACCEPTANCE!!

we can all have our little plans but sometimes we just have to accept life on lifes terms!!

im ok but its just all the work thats piling up!i dare nt even look in george!its gonna be at least as bad as all the snow we had before january as in work overdue all at the best time of year to be out there cleaning!!oh well i just have to accept it!

good thing is im back off the cigarettes(6 days now).it gives me more time to spend with family and friends and i can catch up with some books ive been meaning to read.

best wishes to you all!......even bumper!!

[Tom White]

and i can catch up with some books ive been meaning to read.

Peter and Jane Go to the Seaside?

[dazmond]

ekhart tolle "the power of now"

allen carr "easy way to stop smoking"

christian book"power,sex and money"



ive ordered the whole second series of" the sopranos" on dvd as well!!

[brianbarber]

Is it just bandaged?, or is it poss to have a small cast? Would you then be able to walk a little?

Mr B

Good luck with a real speedy recovery,
It's a real pain in the arris when you don't get any sick pay....
I try to remember that when I price up work !

[Tom White]

ekhart tolle "the power of now"

That's a very Boodhist book; I read it a few years back; Tolle basically teaches Buddhist Mindfulness.  It's a good read, but you've got to be receptive to it, because the first time I read it I thought it was a load of rollox.

Anyway, these days I'm so present, I make Tolle's The Power of Now, look like the Power of Then! (That's just a little joke).  

P.S. Tolle's A New Earth is a good read too.

[dazmond]

tosh i also have a book called "the tibetan book of living and dying" by somebody called mr ...........rinpoche(cant remember his first name!! ).very interesting on the eastern views on life and death!full of old sages and poems that are thousands of years old but still ring true today.lots of spiritual truth and very heart warming read.

[GB Window Cleaning]

tosh beat me to it, i was gonna suggest "a new earth" by eckart tolle. ive got the audio books of this and "the power of now" so i listen to em at work on my mp3 player! 

[dd]

Maybe you could take the opportunity to try some meditation Daz. Tosh could give you a few pointers.

Get well soon.

At least you didn't go bouncing around on your head off a ladder.
