Men at Work

Men at Work
Taken at Emsworth, Hampshire yesterday, on a wet and windy afternoon.

I got so tired watching these men at work that I had go and sit in a warm dry café with some coffee and cake, until I was rested enough to drive home..!!

Jean Paul Capdeville, Frans Schols, Leo W, Anton Cruz Carro and 18 other people have particularly liked this photo

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Any location with a café is a bonus Güni........especially at this time of year :-))

I'm with you on this...........I don't do heights, and especially not in the wind and rain! I'd rather stay and have cake and coffee with you :-))

Thanks for dropping in and commenting!

Wishing you a good weekend.

Coffee and cake is always a good idea :-)). Thanks for popping in and commenting!

It can be a hard way to earn a living, but in warmer weather it's not a bad life,
A very nice opportunist capture, Keith!
I also suspect the coffee and cake were better than watching men at work!
Have a great weekend

Keith Burton club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
I can't argue with that Roger........I'm well past it anyway :-)))

Glad you like the photo though, and you're quite correct about the coffee and cake!

You sure know how to live, Keith. I cannot distinguish what type of construction is intended. I guess a new home. All the best, Anton.

I do my best Anton, especially since I retired. I think someone is having a new roof put on!

We used to say in the shipyards "Work in progress controller" for those who just kept watching others work, LOL !

I hope it was entertaining. Better a big stomach from coffee and cake than a crooked back from work ;-)

My thoughts exactly Leo..............but I could definitely do with losing a bit of my stomach :-(

Couvreur, un métier si difficile et dangereux mais un métier que j'admire.Un métier aussi de spécialistes. Ce n'est pas mon cas; quand je montais sur mon toit changer une tuile j'en cassais trois.Tu as bien fais de t'assoir Keith, c'est trés éprouvant.

Keith Burton club has replied to Jean Paul Capdeville club
I can't argue with that Jean Paul......but it's definitely not something I could do as I don't like heights.

I wouldn't even go up on my own roof.........even if all the tiles were broken :-)))

Bei nassem und windigem Wetter mit Shorts auf dem Dach ist etwas für ganz Harte ;-)

Yes, it's not the best weather.........and probably not the most sensible way to dress! It's definitely a tough job though..........and I wouldn't want to do it.
