| 'But I let myself fall backwards'. |
Brill start to the weekend! Despite dreaming that I had
slept in and missed my slot, I didn't, and I made it to the Humber
Bridge for 9 am, and I am not a morning person! Hurdle no. 1 over. But
the story started the day before in one of Barton's best shops - 'This
'n' That' (note correct use of apostrophes here in N Lincs). Well, where
would you go to buy hairnet? That place has everything, in the
space of your living room. They didn't bat an eyelid when I tried the
thing on over my bike helmet.
The Hospice Shop came up
trumps too with a frock, and soon I had my fancy dress outfit sorted:
'she dressed up as a vicar's wife'.
 |
| Yes I did cycle here! |
I feared that
aspects of what I was spending my time doing today were not very
'housewifely', so I stood both loo cleaning brushes in a vat of diluted
Domestos to offset any feelings of guilt I might have.
(I'm
trying to upload quite a few pics to this Blogger outfit, but it's
acting as though it too has had a few bottles of San Miguel, so
apologies if the order is a bit funny. [It is].)
What do you mean, 'What is the chicken gene?' It's that gene that some of us have that, when someone says, 'We need someone to dress up as a chicken', we are the ones who say 'Oooh yes, I will!' first. [Ignore white space below and scroll down; I don't know why it does that either.]
Would I do it again, and would I do it differently? Certainly! I'd make sure my lipstick was on straight next time!
You tube of beginning and end
More pics below, much too below but I can't make it otherwise.

| Have you ever abseiled before? 'No'. |
  |
| Yes, the flowers are intact. Camouflage at Chelsea flower show! |
 |
| I felt no fear - I'm afraid of danger, not of heights |
 |
| 'Now what?' |
 |
| 'Am I supposed to go horizontal?' No. |
 |
| 'By the way, how do I avoid smashing my teeth against the road?' |
 |
| Teeth intact, I'm off! |
 |
| Won't be doing this again for a while, let's have fun! |
 |
| 'Hi! The gloves they gave me are massive!' |
