Whose counting

Looking out and seeing a blue sky as I type this makes me think that maybe I should have gone for an afternoon wander. Or possibly even a climb, not that I would have had success in convincing anyone to head out. It had looked like we would be blanketed in clouds and rain allContinue reading “Whose counting”

A winning streak

True to her words, on Sunday last weekend, Lisa and I headed to mini Pear Mill as it will be known from now, but only by us. Here we enjoyed a taste of decadence, played a game of scrabble, and were surrounded by a diverse range of antiquities. The latter distracting our attention when theContinue reading “A winning streak”

In Tim Finn’s words

After having missed out on joining me at the Northern Blocks last Saturday, Craig was keen to make appearance on rock this week. Something that has sadly become a rare occurrence in more recent years. His tea delivery service has been sorely missed! David and Howsie were keen to, so we set up a chatContinue reading “In Tim Finn’s words”

An unsavoury find

At work on Friday the district and local emergency management committee for the South West called a meeting for that afternoon. Hinting that a significant front may roll in over the weekend, and there was a need to be prepared in case things got nasty. Then just hours before the meeting was due to kickContinue reading “An unsavoury find”

The damage is done

Chopping and changing is the best way to describe this winter. With what looks like another washed out weekend was ahead of us. So, with more flexitime stacked up than I should have, I took today off. Looking the more promising of the tail end days of my working week. I was also spurred onContinue reading “The damage is done”

Soaking it in

David has been a little absent of late, but jumped at the chance of a Sunday foray this weekend. I’d heard that he has been frequenting a new boulder gym in the area to pull on plastic, and has even been out for a few top rope solo missions on real rock. Understanding that thereContinue reading “Soaking it in”

Lunch with friends

With enough daylight for a play, Lisa and I drove off on Wednesday after I had packed my laptop away. We were heading a couple of hours north, but stopped on the way at a short walk that had been mentioned on the orchid chat group at work. After our walk and look around CrookedContinue reading “Lunch with friends”

Different ways of walking

We are experiencing a bit of a lull. I had a fair bit of success in April and May. Now with most of the early orchids having been and gone things have eased up during June and into July. The next batch are starting their journey of coming into bloom albeit a bit slowly, whichContinue reading “Different ways of walking”

Winter wonderland

Another weekday jaunt, and you may be wondering how I managed back to back Friday outings. Several reasons that I won’t dwell on The most important one being that with a soon to be changing job, from August onwards, Howsie will no longer have Friday’s free. At least for his first month or two. NotContinue reading “Winter wonderland”

Deenergised

For a change this post does not start with an early morning, but a late arrival image. Lisa and I were sticking to our agreed plan, and were off for our next short getaway. Heading out on Friday Lisa struggled to leave work any earlier than normal, so by the time we arrived at ourContinue reading “Deenergised”
