A head for heights required & A little logging

This story  begins with a scary pic of somone looking down at a 1000 metre drop.
He's stood on what looks like a plexi glass floor jutting out from a building on top of a mountain in Chamonix in the French Alps.  Not for the feint hearted methinks! - - -

Canoe man in trouble again   the bloke who faked his own death years ago and eventually did time for the deception
He was in the news recently after flying out to the Ukraine looking for a "bride" which was a breach of his parole .  He was in even hotter water on his return being promptly arrested as he stepped of the plane.  He is apparently likely to get 9 months in prison for his trouble!

Junk mail   "A cross we all seem to bear" its often the only mail which drops through the letter box and half the time it go's straight into the re-cycle bag.
This lady collected 1027 pieces of junk mail in a year and the pics in the story are of the "pile" in various poses.  I rather fancy the idea of keeping it for a while and then pouring it in the nearest letter box!

What do you do when you need the loo in the middle of nowhere?  Well if you are anywhere near Corrour in the Cairngorms you use the Remotest loo  in the UK
No doubt if/when Scotland leaves the union we will need to re-appraise the situation! lol - - -

At last! that irritating (well to me at least) Canadian singer Justin Bieber has said he's going to retire

What are those trousers he's wearing!!  The singer is quoted as saying "I want to grow as an artist and i'm taking a step out, I want my music to mature".  Something tells me its just another publicity stunt - - - shame!

Closer to home
Sally visits the Christmas Market in Manchester with her big sister Lesley
Here's a pic of one of the Chocolate stalls.  She arrived home having driven back from her sisters in a snowstorm over the hilltops!  I haven't drummed up the courage to ask how much the "treats" she was showing me from the days activities cost yet - - -

Having the day to myself I executed a raid on the shop to buy the dinner cunningly disguised as a Thai carry out in a cardboard box! then had a couple of hours up at our logging area.
The idea was to get all the bits lying around on the hillside sawn up and added to the pile in the foreground.
An hour or so later even with the sun on the work area I decided I had done enough.  The wind was strengthening and it was getting rather cold! - - -
Enjoy the day
