Ah now I probably wouldn't be writing if the PC handn't been invented. Writing in longhand is too slow for my brain and I used to lose so many thoughts and ideas. I think too far ahead.

So I guess I'd be knitting lol

Annie, no not really, I've been quite busy, but it's got my imagination on overdrive. I just saw the advert where the window cleaner is using a trampoline, and it spurred that random thought lol.

Rose, I'll lay claim to that one, you nabbed 'Death by Wok' lol


Joy, that's a good point, we'd have still built upwards somehow...like the Egyptians, or even the ancient Britons with Stonehenge.

lol expects next piece to be about 'life without the ladder'

well I suppose without the ladder there would be only bungalows....no second storey buildings at all in fact. no rockets into space, no telephone masts, electricity pylons, no factory chimneys so no industrial revolution...very low haystacks LOL

What if nobody had ever invented the ladder?

Just a random thought, but I wonder how different life would be if that ladder hadn't been invented. Or other things like the wheel, or boats, or if someone hadn't found out you could ride a horse.
