Ladder-climbing trimmer

It's foggy as hell here today, but then yesterday started the same and turned out glorious, shame I had to go to work in the afternoon. This week I start late and finish late, it does have the advantage that I don't have to get up early though. Been trying to get things done these mornings but generally I continue watching classic movies, recently I watched, among others, Kes, the Titfield Thunderbolt and Cast Away.

Have not been too lazy though, have been to the gym 3 times this month, which is good going for me! Also was walking on Saturday from Queensferry to Aberdour, my original plan to walk all the way to Kinghorn was hijacked by a few ales in the Cedar Inn. Even got my hair cut during this walk - a place in Inverkeithing I've used a couple of times before. Ended up getting train back here and going for a couple in the Auld Hoose. So that was my exercise.

Plan on another gym visit, probably early on Friday before work. Looking forward to a week off next week, so burning a few calories beforehand might be a good idea. Fear not, dear reader, I shall let you know how my trip went in my next update.

Have also been up a long ladder cutting the ivy back this month, the ivy just grows and grows, and was touching my flat, so I decided to borrow a ladder from Rob in the pub and up I went. Going up is one thing, cutting the bloody ivy with garden shears while not falling off ladder is another! Still, I was moderately successful, will need to trim it again soon though. Even managed to cut grass twice this month, there wasn't even much cat crap either.

Here a couple of photos of this month's exciting adventures, well actually one is of the ruins of St Bridgit's Kirk on the walk to Aberdour, another of a sunny day this month, another of the ivy (from above) and a new erection my neighbours have put up. Their garden is a bit small for it in my opinion.
