my first skydive

In case you thought I was being totally lazy on a saturday - I'm not! I did have my first skydive on saturday - from the top of my ladder!!! I went up to the top to clear a branch of apricots (as I've been put back on them, away from apples, cos I wasn't earning enough, so I'm now on an hourly wage - yippee!!) and got hold of the branch and then hit the ground. None of my life flashed before my eyes, I only found myself splayed on the ground feeling very painful. I also had to force myself to breathe as it was very painful. I did get up after a few anxious moments and walk away. Then after a few minutes I got back up my ladder (to the very top again) and continued thinning. Luckily no ambulance, doctor or worse (new specs) were needed!

The next day (today) I got up with great difficulty and now have a lump on my neck where it's been strained, a sore lower back, extreme shoulder stiffness - but a few painkillers later and some Vicks for colds and musclular pain and I'm ready to face the day!

So that's about all that's been happening lately - not very interesting!!! :-)

Work, off for rain, too cold because it snowed just above us in the hills, watching the UEFA game on the TV and you know pretty most of my last week.

High speed internet is now installed in Roxburgh so this is better and I can check my e-mails as well quickly - very sweet!!!! Got to go and rest for tomorrows work again!!!
