A carton of cream jumps out of the fridge and spreads itself across the floor.

I clean up the cream.

Ailz catches her foot in a cable and my laptop hits the deck.

Ailz says something and I say, "Don't speak to me right now because I don't think I can answer coherently".

I leave her to check that the laptop isn't bust and take a turn round the front garden. I find an apple tree I didn't know was there. I eat an apple.

I hadn't realized I was so close to the edge...

Funny how one doesn't think one is quite that close to the edge and then something minor makes you realize you are going to completely lose it if anything else happens. Not fun. I am glad you found apples.

I don't think the edge is altogether such a bad place to be. It's interesting, anyway. And one knows one is alive.
