Almost totally blue sky, with only the odd white cloud. Bit breezy, though, which is making today's job a little more difficult than it should be. I'm stood on a ladder, cutting overgrown ivy from the top of a stone wall about 8 or 9 feet tall (actually, at this very moment, I'm in the house having a bit of lunch). Some of the ivy stems are up to 2 inches or more thick, which makes trying to cut them as their branches and leaves blow about in this breeze a bit tricky at times; especially whilst stood on the ladder. But, hey, it could be worse! I could be standing on a chair instead of the ladder... At that height it would require you stack two chairs and a footstool ... the footstool goes betwixt the two chairs not on the bottom.

I was not ready for this story... it was going to be a sci fi epic, and now I'm taking a different approach, but I guess it's keeping my mind off being alone. How about you... any craziness setting in? Oh crap! I have a chapter to post! 4 1 3
