Col Thrupp washing windows is no easy task!
Date:14/08/2009
WOW! Even after working on Totally Wild for nearly 3 years it still surprises me how much can happen in a week!
I’ve been feeding giraffes, adopting animals, searching for the south magnetic pole and throwing rhino poo on Tess which is DEFINITELY as much fun as it sounds…
But I have to say the story that stands out this week is my window washing adventure. I know I know – it doesn’t sound that exciting, but let me assure you that washing windows is no easy task… especially when you’re 100 METRES OFF THE GROUND!!!
Now, I’m not usually one to be afraid of heights, but being strapped to a little wooden seat with a bucket in one hand and a cloth in the other certainly keeps the heart racing. It took me a while to get used to the feel of the harness, but once I had my descending device sorted (that’s the clip that controls your speed) I was away. You should’ve seen me! I was bouncing off the walls like there was no tomorrow!
The only advice I have if you try this – make sure you wear a clean pair of shoes and NOT the muddy pair from your last adventure with the Scouts – I’m sure I created more of a mess than what I started with!
That’s about it from me! But before I go, I have a favour to ask…
I want to see the most imaginative; the most daring; the most outrageous challenges on my desk by the end of the month. Keep it real though – they have to be challenges I can actually achieve (e.g. diving with white sharks, racing Tess on a BMX, spending the night in a haunted house, etc). I’m starting to feel a little lonely sitting back in the office on my lonesome while the other presenters are off sky diving and bungee jumping and white water rafting… I promise you Wilders, I’m ready for your challenge!
BRING IT and Stay Wild! Col
