For some reason Lo, she is a terrible Goddess keeps telling me to get out from under her feet. I know for a fact she’s hasn’t trodden on me for several weeks, and my doctor can confirm this if necessary.
She suggested that I measure the height of the cliff at the bottom of the garden, so I wandered down there yesterday morning with a tape measure.
I was greeted with this view which distracted me a tad. Luckily when I slipped I managed to get a hold on some gorse, which prevented me from falling right to the bottom; although the lacerations I received were quite bad. I suppose I could have done some measuring on the way down, had I fallen, but I’ll leave that to another day.
Anyway, the local A&E department is very pleasant. Strangely they seemed to know all about me. Apparently they had received a very detailed email from the last hospital, that was signed by over a hundred people, wishing them good luck. I had no idea they were all so friendly …………….

(Perhaps I should have mentioned the soil aeration I had carried out at the cliff’s edge the previous evening. Oh well, maybe next time. Lo, TG Ed)

Stumble It!

daddyp please be more careful – we don’t want to lose you….
If only the TG thought like that ………. tee hee
Why did this post disappear? …….. the mysteries of the interweave ……..
did you find them??
Did I find what? ……… *BOO*
your feet … shussssh! too loud!
My feet!!!?! – they’re still dangling off my ankles as far as I know ……. *YAHOOOOOOOO*
You where finding your feet ….
Have I lost them then ……….?
I dunno you said you were finding them?
I must have lost them then ……. I wonder what those things at the ends of my legs are then?
Gorse? Gorse?? What the heck is gorse?
You must learn the power of Wikipedia ……. tsk
“Gorse (Ulex) comprises a genus of about 20 species of evergreen shrubs in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family Fabaceae, native to western Europe and northwest Africa, with the majority of species in Iberia. Other common names for gorse include furse, whin and furze.”
A bush with a lot of sharp spiny thorns and fragrant yellow flowers – very painful if you fall into one, but probably not as painful as falling off the cliff.
Oops. No.6 was me.x
Are you sure my angel? ……….
That picture is beautiful! Do you really get to see that daily?
YES!!!!! – if it’s sunny and not blowing a gale …….
That IS a beautiful view….what is that white stuff on the left?
Lumps of rock that have been dumped there to alleviate coastal erosion – several houses have fallen into the sea there – we’ll be fine though – must be at least several feet away ………..
OH! Phew! I thought it was a pile of bones & skulls of those who had perished trying to measure the height of the cliff at the bottom of the garden!
Actually, I haven’t been down there to check …….. perhaps tomorrow …… I could use some string I suppose ………
If you go…take pictures! Maybe you could ride Gertrude?…he would prolly enjoy the adventure!
Gertrude is a bit confused at the moment – he tried mounting a holly bush earlier ……….
Olga, I think it just may be that. They do look like they’re marching (Somnambulist might be almost correct). Should DP be afraid of bones and skulls that are marching towards his new home?
Perhaps they have a ‘bone’ to pick with him?
This is quite exciting. I thought this kind of thing happened only on Halloween.
All seems quite normal to me …….. oh well
Sorry to hear about the slip… however, I think you should also be concerned about the stampede of white mice coming around the corner. I hear they can strip a man to the bones in 20 seconds…
You must be looking forward to the Christmas break ….. I know I am …….. de dum de dum de dum de dum
[are you in the UK now? I've lost track of your timing]
that’s an impressive view never mind the bushes it was worth it!
I would stub my toe for my art ……..
Is the soil aerated naturally, or is that the aftermath of kids or some form of clam sucking machinery? Looks like some major tractors went digging in the silt.
That looks very fertile for being an overlook on that big a waterway.
It’s a fascinating stretch of coastline on the English Channel – the powers that be have just spent 3.4 million squid on sea defences and pulling some of the cliff down. They’ve installed 50 wells at the top that collect surface water, which is responsible for the majority of erosion, which then gets pumped out at the bottom of the cliffs …… and it isn’t that fertile – gorse lives on very poor quality soil and can tolerate salt in the air ….
