I only climb trees that donā€™t have bears in them, Danny, and thatā€™s why I get away with it.

Of course if anyone wants to see me a bear in the woods you only have to ask. :smiley::smiley::smiley:

Mary had a little lamb,
she also had a bear,
Iā€™ve often seen her little lamb
Iā€™ve never seen her bear.

Here,if you want to stay old,itā€™s best avoid some trees.Some Gum trees drop branches and are called ā€œwidowmakersā€ for a good reason.

Itā€™s the same for muffin the mule :wink::astonished::grin:

Climbing trees, yay!

Also paddling, swimming in the sea, walking on walls, granny dancing :man_dancing: at social events and riding a small kick scooter all around the town :kick_scooter::kick_scooter: :kick_scooter:ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.

When Husband got one of his model aeroplanes stuck firmly in a unshakeable very tall treeā€¦He went home got a ladder and climbed up it reach out as far as with a long thin piece of wood to knock it downā€¦I was standing waiting to catch itā€¦
no tears but the state of his bare arms were bloodyā€¦pride hurt as wellā€¦
We have a tall wide trunk tree that was here many many moons agoā€¦Along comes some electric cables to enable neighbours to have electricity right above the treeā€¦Now twice yearly we have to butcher itā€¦literallyā€¦poor treeā€¦it is now just touching the cables as I typeā€¦

And bike riding. Cycling is very popular among all age groups these days, and I see lots of older people riding bikes. So I am not unusual as a more mature bike rider, but none of the other old codgers ride their bikes as recklessly as I do. :biking_man: :096: :skull_and_crossbones:

If you saw me on my bike you would think you were looking at a teenager, Muddy, if you couldnā€™t see my head.

I prefer to play on the swings in a park, or on the slide, but it has to be a slide big enough for me to slide down on. :grinning:
I do hug trees, but canā€™t find one with low enough branches to climb it.

Not me, Dianne. Raw leg power for me. I do have a bell though, which came with the bike, and makes a feeble little tinging noise. No basket though. :018:

You need a siren.

And a basket. Baskets are lovely on a bike.
