1st day back today - had to sit in the van a bit during heavy showers but did a first clean on a small commercial this afternoon and managed to get a fair day in.

Yesterday, looking at the weather I would have been happy to cover the wages but we've done ok and I feel back in the swing now.
It's a game of three halves!
