day 41.... aiding the destruction of an ugly building

day 41...."today help destroy an ugly building" Today i was charged with the duty of picking a building i decided was was an eyesore, and aiding its demolition, by taking a tiny part of it.. now im aware that benrik was possibly assuming this would be a building still whole and standing, However when i was in town today scouting for the building i was gunna lash with the toffee hammer, i noticed that demolition had started on the old police h.q... and if course realised i had found my target.

This mission was harder than you may expect, you know how hardcore government conducted operations are health and safety wise... so as you may imagine the demolition of a mega high building (for the boro) was well sealed off... i searched and walked the whole fence looking for a break in the fence ... or damage i could crawl through.. but nothing.

So i climbed  the fence... it was prety high( 8-9 feet?), and as i reached the top and was just swinging one leg over to the other side, to my bum clenching alarm i realised the fence wasnt as stable as it apeared... there is something equally amusing and horifying about these situations.. realising youve put yourself in an awquard position, and at any second its either going to end well or terribly.

Benrik wanted me to aid the demolition of a building  by taking off and stealing a piece of it... this i did, i looked for a police hq sign.. but no such luck.. i also knew id have to carry it back over.. so this small bit of wall was just the trick. It doesnt have to luck flash.. i know that its stolen from the police hq.. and that may amuse me for ever more.

Just me and my rock, but the camera took a crazy one.. and i like it.. looks magical, maybe the rock contains special law keeping properties which causes it to glow?

So then i had an explore as i'd gone to such trouble to break in, and took the photos you see above (and below)so i had a casual mooch about, and was quite at ease right up until the moment  2 policemen walked past within about 3 feet of the fence (so like 12 feet from me).. im not ashamed to say i hid. Obviously i was convinced either my phone ringing or a  sneezing fit was imminent.. happily neither occured.

How ever fun my entrance into the sealed off demolition zone was..my grand exit was a good deal more exciting, i knew it wasnt a good idea to use the fence again, and so after a few seconds, i saw my way out.. a tall wall, the side wall to the law courts no less (i know, not 2 buildings its ideal to trespass on, your hardly off the radar) the wall was diagonal , and high...  and i wasnt completely sure i could get up there. After a few failed atempts climbing from one platform to another to reach the top, i decided it was time for decisive action.. i wasnt positive i could remain in there any longer without being spotted.  So i opted for a foolish long run up and arm stretched high leap, in an atempt to grasp the top of the wall , and haul myself up.This didnt even seem likely to have a good outcome to me..(bareing in mind my limited athletic ability)But the leap was made the hands reached the top, tho they nearly let go as my torso slammed into that diagonal wall, i hadnt thought this through properly. Filthy jacketed, and a little more bruised than before, i pulled myself up  and exited the scene of the crime.

police station bashed, and piece of wall in pocket. I had aided the demolition of a building i considered a blight on the landscape..

mission accomplished.

da deesh!!!!

Not task related... but earlier in the day as i passed the town centres spot of nature, i witnessed this hillarious scene... the whole pond (which is massive) had frozen over.. apart from this tiny circular ice free section.. i couldnt stop myself laughing like a headcase while watching about 30 ducks swimming in an exact circle in single file..cracking. Part of me hoped they would go so fast they caused a whirlpool.
