Sunshine and showers today.
So far it's rained through the night and has been  bouncing off the roads for the last two hours- floods everywhere.  :(

It's naff here too (South East Wales), though it seems to be brightening up; so we may head out and do a chunk of work that I want out of the way.

I've got a gutter clean and a conservatory roof clean to do which would be easy peasy in the rain but the customers want them both done on a "nice sunny day".  ::)

Pretty crappy weather here too. Was considering going into garage and fitting a split charge system to van for the pump battery, kinda got involved with a bit of paperwork instead though. Did go and quote a gutter and soffit clean this morning though. Simple enough job which I have charged more for in the past and I got the impression that if I'd said I would do it for nowt it would have been too expensive. Makes you wonder why we bother at all??? :-\

She's working late so I might have a play in garage later. Just need to find a heavy duty switch from somewhere..... Maybe if I strip the old starter off the scrap sierra and just use the solenoid???

I woke up to see it bouncing down, it stopped once or twice but as i stepped out doors it bounced again :( Finally brightened up at 3.30 pm :( so went for a bike ride as i was getting sick of being stuck in, did a few quotes in morning too though so not all bad :)
