But that is exactly what irks me, I didn't go looking to blame anyone, I just considered it an accident until he pointed out it was my fault.<br /><br />But he was duly contrite later ... which is just as well, because when we got home he said ... "WILL you come and hold this?" ... and off he went up the ladder to cut down some wisteria that had grown around the sky dish.<br /><br />Of course I held the sides of THIS ladder as I always do - whilst trying to avoid the razor sharp pampas grass that was tickling my chin - because I've watched Fred Dibnah tha' knows.<br /><br />I was holding on to a rung at the tin hut because the ladder he uses there is an old rickety home made job with splinters sticking out on the sides but has smoother worn 'rungs' ... so in fact it's his fault ;)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288556385811134829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5534679970477261563.post-24684200807598273132014-05-31T16:45:01.949+01:002014-05-31T16:45:01.949+01:00Firstly I must shower you and your poor finger wit...Firstly I must shower you and your poor finger with sympathy.<br />I was going to ask if it is your 'nose picking' finger and then offer alternative suggestions but then I read the bit about rings. :) <br />".....and blaming me for HOLDING the effin ladder."<br />This is where the violins stop playing. :)<br />It probably was your fault, after all your eyes were nearer to your finger than his. (unless he has a third eye you know where!).<br />The other thing is that you were not holding the effin ladder in the correct way. If you watch 'ladder experts' and steeple-jacks like Fred Dibnah, you will notice they never hold the rungs of a ladder. They always hold the sides. Firstly this avoids getting muck on your hands, and secondly it ...........(but of course you now know this from experience.)<br />Violins start playing again and I offer more sympathy.<br />Cheers B xxx (and a 'get-better' x for your poor finger.)
