Currently in a cottage high on Birker Fell in Lake District nice and cosy next to wood burning stove .

Going home today though and will crack on tomorrow and hopefully get caught up about 3 days behind at the moment.  Mike

Now on the third heavy/torrential downpour this morning with strong winds. Looks like it's going to be another day written off.

Storm force winds here and intermittent heavy rain. I've been out this morning and have done a few, but I've 3 more to do and I don't think they are going to get done, especially as one is a large detached rural property.

I'm sick of this now. I was £520 down on what I should have taken in December, and January is panning out similar.  >:(

Was blowing a gale earlier and that's interspersed with heavy showers and sunshine here. I've done a couple of small jobs this morning, and have an hour's work at a school this afternoon. There's no chance of doing any ladder work today, so, other than that, I've sacked the day off.

Hi Carl
I seem to recall you were quite against working in the rain because of customer service concerns.
I don't like working in bad weather either for the same reasons - hence at home - blown back home!!!!!
Are you re-considering??

Yep, I am generally against working in heavy rain, but luckily today i've been able to do ones where I know the results will be OK (they are not on a main road) and where the custies are out - I'm fairly sure I won't get any comebacks. I'm sat at home now waiting for a break in the weather to do those last 2 and it does look like I might be able to get out in a few mins. Day to day I'm going to continue vetoing heavy rain days. Been hard hasn't it  ::)roll
