Yet another day written off

High winds, rain lashing down, heavy snow forecast for later.
I can't remember when I last did a full week.
And they say it's going to get worse. Ah well merry Christmas.

Quite pleasant here now, blue skies, lark on the wing, bees buzzing, water trickling along the brook, girls in light summer dresses, ah...



NO!  >:(

Rain and snow with high winds in notts, took everything out of the van yesterday and wont be putting it back until after christmas, managed to get enough done over the last 7 days to pay the bills and tide me over until new year, going to spend some time re-arranging my round and getting some admin sorted. Start the holidays early and spend some time with the new son and missus.  ;D ;D

Happy days................... ;D ;D ;D

Weird. I worked all day in the rain. I never work in the rain. Today I just did it. Seven years and only worked in the rain when I was caught in it. Only thing people said was 'I don't envy you today' and just paid up. One customer from down the road paid me in advance before I got to her and it was pouring down.

I guess you can work in the rain. Next year I'm just going to do it.

The wind has dropped now, this morning it was howling.
Working in those storms a month back earned me 3 cancellations
