It has been a rather odd day! I knew today was going to be different but I had no idea I would be in so much peril!
I got up early this morning to ensure a prompt arrival for collection at the office at 8, which means getting up at 5:45 which is far too early! However, my drowsiness only lasted until about 8:05 when we left for the first job, as I found myself in the front seat of a 5 year old Pug with shot brakes doing 80mph+ down single track country lanes and braking later that I thought possible :S. We arrived at the first appointment at 08:06... or so it felt, however it was nearly 9 and I had been concentrating so hard on surviving I hadn't noticed!
There was nothing interesting about the first visit, other than some of the homeowners didn't get along and so were just hurling abuse at each other. Sure it's tedious but it filled an hour which means I had to get back in the car...
10:07!! : P Next appointment. This time in Eastleigh. I can't even remember this one! That's not good really seeing as I did the report a few hours ago.

Then again, after the last visit, consisting of a trip into a newly burnt out council house, all boarded up and falling down, it isn't surprising I can't remember.
We had to undertake a survey of the property, including breaking down the asbestos (Artex) ceilings with a spade in the pitch dark with a full Haz-Mat suit on.

All quite exciting really, being covered in asbestos! Walking on floors that you had just been smashing was also quite disconcerting, as was being told upon arrival that squatters may be inside and that I may only enter at my own risk under the understanding that I could protect myself if there were any such creatures lurking within. Thankfully there weren't!
In striking contrast, this evening was consumed by being tonked at glof, again, and relaxing and 'canoodling' with my gorgeous girlfriend!! Yay!
Anywho, I'm hoping that tomorrow will be much more average!
