That’s handy

For those that use Spotify, you may have noticed their algorithms for compiling your personalised playlists can get a bit samey after a while. Today driving out by myself I was keen for something a little different. Leading me to cautiously put my faith in the app to prepare a playlist based on an artistContinue reading “That’s handy”

If anyone can…

It was time for Lisa and I to get away for night for another mini-break. We ummed and ahhed about where to head and what to do, and plumped for a trip to Penguin Island. The last time I went there was with my folks and Elseya back in 2008. Lisa sadly couldn’t join usContinue reading “If anyone can…”

Adrian Gurvitz

While Howsie has for many years played in skater/surf punk bands, he has a wide range of music taste. I am not however sure this would extend to knowing Adrian Gurvitz. An English singer songwriter whose music career began in 1968, and is still recording and touring to this day. Not surprisingly his style hasContinue reading “Adrian Gurvitz”

Change of pace

I can’t conclusively say my hair of the dog remedy yesterday worked. True my arms were not as achy at the start of today as they were on Friday. This may however have resulted from the muscles having naturally repaired themselves sufficiently for the achiness to subside. The arms seemed to feel ready for anotherContinue reading “Change of pace”

Four years on, and still waiting

It has been a heavy lifting week in the shed with Lisa. As part of the wonder of Apps, which fuels our desire for numbers and information, she keeps track of her progress in quite some detail. Both for individual exercises and overall session statistics. Can’t say I’ve been dragged into that world, and hopefullyContinue reading “Four years on, and still waiting”

That’s a big baby

I can’t complain with the flurry of people that have been keen to get out over the last few months. This weekend however, I didn’t get so much as a nibble when I dangled the bait of touching rock to our group. This of course didn’t stop me, and I had every intention of walkingContinue reading “That’s a big baby”

Seeing in believing

Last week Josh put the feelers out for a climb. Sadly he didn’t get a positive response from anyone on our local group, and I was hoping to get in the water on both Saturday and Sunday instead of on rock. However, after becoming disillusioned by my murky underwater adventures yesterday, I suggested I wouldContinue reading “Seeing in believing”

Testing the waters

The marine environment of the globe has about a dozen amphidromic points. These are generally located in middle of ocean basins, whose shape results in a rotary wave action forming. The circular action results in a centre point where there is effectively a flat spot, similar to the eye of a cyclone. Here there isContinue reading “Testing the waters”

A matter of taste

After today, as we roll into February, the year will start in earnest. The summer school holidays are coming to a close, which means the usual weekly routine of life for many will resume. For me, my ease into the New Year continued to the bitter end. I was not going to waste the lastContinue reading “A matter of taste”

Weighing up the choices

I dread to think how many times I have walked into Wilyabrup. Hundreds for sure, but how many hundreds I have no idea. And for a great many of those trips we have been the first people at the crag. If you haven’t already guessed from my posts, I like early morning starts. Today SebContinue reading “Weighing up the choices”
