Have finished all my objectives in Burgundy and am now in my dutch friends bar enjoying a couple of beers and a plate of his lovely chips and mayo whilst sorting out emails and planning my next couple of months travel around the mountains.
I have got to go and look at a job in the southwest of france near toulouse,but have postponed my next actual dry stone walling job until the start of november giving me time to enjoy some altitude before the snows set in for the winter and also so that I can watch all of the rugby world cup without being distracted by work. Damn,have had to extend my holidays by 2 months :-)

Thank you in advance on behalf of my bruises and disappointed

Sit in a lift and close your eyes and you will certainly feel like you are going up.
As long as you push the right button that is !!

I am too posh to push. [Snort]
Call me old fashioned, but I believe in developing ones natural, god given propelling ability.
I suspect this isnt as straight forward as may have been presented on the book jacket, perhaps all will be clear when I play the cd. Only £29.99. Got to be barg of the week.
Have to say...tad concerned I might miss it, if I have to be actually asleep. |

Thank you in advance on behalf of my bruises and disappointed Have you tried @mabungo for advice? That said, he did fail at the "missing the floor" thing @corvus1 mentioned... |

 This happened to me when I lost concentration while levitating to pick elderberries on saturday afternoon. I shall use a ladder properly in future and have a drink afterwards rather than before! |

Actually , thinking about it , levitation sucks . I got a worse bruise when the rickity drystone wall I was standing on to reach a branch I was cutting with a chainsaw collapsed. I tried levitation then , but I wasn't quick enough. I saw my self falling towards the dropped chainsaw which was miraculouslty still going , and just as I thought I was going to get really hurt , I hit a strand of wire fencing running right next to the wall and got deflected away from the chainsaw . It left me with a really spectacular thin bruise right across my body where i hit the wire.
I do realise its stupid to stand on rickity walls with a chainsaw,but I am not a pro so H&S dont apply and it was 1/2 mile walk to go get ladder.

We all make mistakes in life Bungo and at least you have not done yourself more damage,though next time either fix the wall,or better still go and get the ladder !!
Happy to hear that you did not cause yourself any more harm than you did,though I bet that stung !!

Mr Bungo, I should like to nominate you for a Darwin award but as you have achieved full family status its invalidated.
However there is the lesser 'Plonker badge' to add to your life time achievement collection, its rumoured to stop at 9
Mind how you go

Wasn't my wall IC , was next doors, all our walls would easliy withstand the weight of even Ma Bungo!
LOL , I know I am award winning plonk Duke, but I am a happy plonker ,just got a lot of dents ! These days I have to find different ways of getting adrenaline buzz as I am not bendy enough to go rock climbing any more.
