Stuck in a tree

As you may or may not remember from previous blogs, we hang out laundry out to dry. We don't own a dryer so we're going green in our own way! Well I did wash yesterday morning and hung it out on our balcony to dry all day. Depending on how warm it is it's dry by night. You don't want your clothes out overnight because they get this awful stink to them that's just in the air. So I asked Dave if he could help me gather our clothes before going to bed.
It had been a bit of a windy day. I put a pair of Dave's boxers on a hanger to dry on the end of the rod. Well the wind had taken them and the hanger over on a ledge. Dave was able to reach it with a pole, but the wind took it and they flew 9 stories down and into a tree.
Dave had to run out anyway so went on a search as well. It was dark so he asked a guard to help him. The guard had a flashlight so they could see where they were. The boxers were a little high up so they got a large bamboo pole to retrieve them. Success! Dave came home with a jug of water and his boxers.
