Does my bum look big in this?

Staying in one place for so long has resulted in me putting on a few pounds. This made Gerard's job of winching me up his mast much harder!!!

This is the same mast from the photo yesterday and I think it gives you the viewer a nice contrast against yesterdays effort. Unfortunately the sky has clouded over, or I would have shown you a much better view from where I was sitting.

I am happy to report that there were no dramatic incidents and I returned to earth with all my limbs intact. The first time I went up a mast I was a little nervous but I like it now. I can look down as much as I want and don't feel anything and just enjoy the view.

Might even get Gerard to take me back up if the sun would just come out!!

By the way, it was my Birthday today (39). Why when you still feel 25 do you need to remind yourself that you are not? And every year! I think it would be better to only have Birthdays until you reach 21 and then, all you would need to say, when asked is "I am over 21". I can't think of anything that you would be barred from entry to with this and I.D. that just said over 21.

It would be much better just to keep everyone guessing and would cut age discrimination at work!!

Hey...I could be a politician with ideas like this...if only I could learn to tell lies more convincingly.

I will work on it.
