Exterior window washer wanted

Joce from Johnsonville

Hey, I'm looking for someone who can wash the exterior windows of my house. I have painters in and there is scaffolding (2 storey). Seems a good idea to get the windows done at the same time. Would prefer a Saturday morning so there's no clash on the scaffolding.

"Just a spot of birding at our local park and this happened. I've got to stop dressing in green and thinking be still like a tree. I feel like a Disney princess (albeit years after filming when they have become old and crazy and someone no longer does their hair and makeup). I tried to scrape it off with one finger and it climbed onto that finger - it was like mobile chuddy or a sticking plaster, and I strongly resisted the urge to flick my hand. I managed to coax him onto an actual tree branch. His Mum turned up and growled. Called him an idiot.

Poll: Should we have a four-day work week?

A four-day work week means employees are paid for 40 hours but only work 32 of those. Should this be rolled out across the country where possible?

It is well past time to relinquish 1,000s of these excellent books to make room to get to the kitchen safely. I have 100s of amazing, well-cared for, and often hard-to-find books on: Astronomy/Cosmology, Cooking, Military History, Tropical Fish Keeping, Classical History and Ancient Mythology ( specifically- Roman & Greek treatises), extensive biographies of Winston Churchill, Charles Dickens and James Cook, and 100s of well-cared for leatherbound books over 100 years old. Also many (many) paperback books from which movies were based.

Kindly contact me should you have an interest. And know of a good divorce lawyer. ( just kiddin'... )
