Back in the era when cassette tapes were all the rage, I had an album titled Greatest Western Themes. It got a good workout. There’s something about the music from the older westerns that I kinda like. One composer stood out on this album, Ennio Morricone. In addition to his previous achievements, once he movedContinue reading “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”

Fore!
I’ve again found myself fall foul of my own enthusiasm. Pushing things that bit too far, such that my body is giving me warning signs to ease up. The niggles of golfers elbow developing in both arms. More than likely as a result of the weights session rather than the climbing, but to be safeContinue reading “Fore!”
Taking a bow
The sun is rising later and once up staying lower in the sky. The swell is also looking that bit bigger and as a result the beach is transitioning towards wintery conditions. The writing was on the wall and the snorkel gear was packed away last weekend. It has been a pretty disappointing season forContinue reading “Taking a bow”
Shades of grades
Sixes were in the air. The 6th moon phase was on display with a 66% waning gibbous moon. Lighting the path as Mario and I aimed for a first light start at Cosy Corner, at 6am. Driving out yesterday the moon was hidden behind a blanket of clouds. Today it look very different. Maybe forContinue reading “Shades of grades”
Walking on sunshine
The car slowly came to a standstill. Having spotted them a long way off, the wallaby and it’s joey stood motionless in front of the car as it came to a stop. The intense full beams made brighter by the light bar, had either blinded them or confused them to the point they became statues. Continue reading “Walking on sunshine”
The tortoise and the hare
Third time lucky, or at least I was hoping, as I found myself again wandering through the Capel Nature Reserve. Mind you I can’t say if I would have been too upset if there were no orchids out. Just wandering through the bush is reward enough. At times it surprises me how little can beContinue reading “The tortoise and the hare”
Busy bees
Howsie will admit that sometimes the weight of all the hats he wears can be a little overwhelming. Today for example a voluntary afternoon commitment came up, being half way up to Mandurah north of Bunbury. After last weeks failed Friday foray Howsie was still very keen to get out this week, and as FridayContinue reading “Busy bees”
The right conditions
Encouraged by yesterday’s ocean conditions, which had finally settled down to what we would normally expect it be like, I decided to walk past the point to the more intact reefs. I could have driven. A sand bar had formed across the Capel River mouth. as usually happens during the low rainfall period of theContinue reading “The right conditions”
Enhanced vision
Lisa and I hit the shed this week for the first time since we, probably, got hit by COVID. I’m not sure either of us were fully prepared for it, but we managed two sessions and also aim to get back in on the weekend. I also opened up the doors on Tuesday after workContinue reading “Enhanced vision”
Putting on a show
I bumped into a long term local when I came out of the water after the dive in which I saw the least, out of my three recent dips. They told me of memories of diving here in the 80s and seeing abundant and diverse marine life. Claiming something changed in the 90s, and sinceContinue reading “Putting on a show”
