Guttersnipe

I cleaned the gutters just before the heavy rain hit.

It turned out they were competely clogged with sand - which is a first. Must have been very bad weather coming in from the sea over the last few months or a storm in the Sahara or something?

Anyway, by the time I finished I was pretty well covered with gritty mud, and had to go back up the ladder with a watering can just to wash black streaks off the walls.

Should I have bothered with that last? probably not.

When I say it was just before the heavy rain hit I really meant JUST before. I got this pic seconds before the rain washed me clean again...
