Usually I am resourceful but not when it comes to doing something high up. I'm not afraid of heights but I hate ladders. The tree grows in our courtyard and because of the lack of light it only starts branching out at the height of the 3rd floor, which is about 6-7 meters high.
If I had one of those saws on a pole I could cut if off from my bedroom windows but the tree is so close to the building that more likely than not it breaks one or more windows.
I tried sleeping on the couch this morning but because of the wind Lexie was restless, first she kept going through the noisy catflaps and then she decided that the only safe place to lie on was my pillow.
More windy weather is predicted for the coming days. As soon as my father's up I'm going to ask (beg) if he can cut that branch of today. If that doesn't work I'll offer to work for free for a day or week.
