海外「何が何でも靴を水に濡らしたくない清掃員」

Yesterday, I participated in cleaning up the ditch of the local council.
He opened a concrete lid on the side of the road in a residential area and raked out the earth and sand inside.

When I got a strained back again, it was not good, so I was going to take it easy, but I ended up in charge of the hose nozzle.
The soil that cannot be scooped up with a scoop is washed away with water from a fire hydrant.
This will help you get used to handling fire hydrants, portable pumps, and fire hoses, as well as inspecting them.

That’s good, but it’s quite hard to bend into the ditch, hold the hose nozzle in a lumbar position, withstand the reaction of the spouting water, and fly the sediment about 10 meters away.
Not only does the water hit the lid of the side ditch fly in, but mud water mixed with earth and sand also splashes out.
Water leaks from the joint between the nozzle and the hose, and the lower part is wetted from the waist.
Every time I walk in my boots, water gets in my boots and it rumbles.

Well, for a former agricultural student whose hobby is mountain walking, getting wet is not that much of a problem.
The mud on his hat, face, and clothes is just too much trouble to clean up.

It was the weight of the hose that swelled under the water pressure.
You must hold the hose firmly so that it is not taken away by reaction.

So, my back hurts today, but my arm feels weak.
The muscles used to hold things are in the forearm.
It’s full, and it’s really hard to manipulate and write with a mouse.

No, I don’t usually carry anything heavier than a mouse, so it’s hard to do manual labor that I’m not used to.
… what a load of tsukkomi would come in.
“You don’t have a mouse,” or “You’re walking with a dog weighing over 14 kilograms? You’re doing it.”
