Chap I know, who is a caver, decided to do a spot of DIY on his gutters.
Lacking a suitable ladder and being of an inventive turn of mind, he
threw a rope over the roof, tied it off firmly the roof rails on his
Galaxy, and then jumared up the rope until at the right level.  which
was all very well, but he forgot to tell his missus what he was doing,
so it all got a bit exciting when she jumped in the car and set off for
the shops.....

A friend (well, his son in conjunction) has done that but without the car
being driven off. He lent me his rope for when I was on the roof, but I
removed a slate from inside, and lashed a scaffold pole between the trusses
t tie te rope to.

When working lower I tied it to the newel post on the stairs, and posted the
rope out the window. I expected complaints from occupants tripping over the
rope and descending the stairs rather quickly, but all was quiet.

Freind above is assisting next week to erect my 'bird table'  so I can get on
wit the rest. I'll have to get the rest of the fascia/soffit done at the back
before I get moaned a t for the grass underneath it in the back lawn dying
off.

All has been quiet on the avian front the last few days, the weather hasn't
been the best for early morning flying. Do seagulls and crows migrate?
