A pick and mix weekend

With a solid climbing session at Welly Dam under my belt on Friday morning, the weekend was set aside for other adventures.  Starting with what I was hoping would be fun snorkel on Saturday morning.  I was encouraged to head to the river mouth end of our local beach, by what looked pretty good conditions. Continue reading “A pick and mix weekend”

The puzzle

Over the last few months, mostly, Elseya and I have been working on a few puzzles.  With Lisa dipping in on rare occasions.  I do love getting lost in a good puzzle, and it can be a great relaxing timewaster.  This one however was not relaxing, not in the slightest, and was frustratingly difficult.  InContinue reading “The puzzle”

Taking calculated risks

After walking in the dark until seven thirty or later in England last week, it felt a little strange for the sun to be on its way up at five as I waited for Josh in Capel.  I even wondered whether we should have met an hour earlier to maximise our time on rock duringContinue reading “Taking calculated risks”

What’s for dinner

Walking into Bob’s Hollow yesterday with David I sent an image of the ocean to Lisa, knowing she would be up.  In return, as she wandered along the beach to meet the Peppy Plungers, I received an image of glassy calm conditions.  One of the other plungers mentioned the water was starting to clearing upContinue reading “What’s for dinner”

Please sir, can I have some more

The moon looked extra special this morning.  Unfortunately the view didn’t last, as it slipped below a doona made of clouds.  A bit like Lisa’s face did after I had popped a sippy mug of tea on her bedside table, and said goodbye.  I’ve just read that the moon’s orbit last night had brought itContinue reading “Please sir, can I have some more”

One for the road

My body clock seems to be getting into the swing of 4:30am wakeup times.  This may be in part due to the earlier start time of the dawn chorus.  Something I consider a welcome natural alarm clock, while others may view it as a rude awakening.  Depending on the species of bird this can beginContinue reading “One for the road”

Quietly hoping

Lisa and I headed to Gnarabup for a night away, sticking to our agreement to make an effort and have a minibreak once in a while.  Being relatively close it allowed her to partake in the local plunge before we left.  Our destination was the number one surfing location in Margaret River, with accessible, reliable,Continue reading “Quietly hoping”

Cuts like a knife

Driving out shortly after 5am, the radio broadcaster was talking about all the glorious sunrise images listeners were sending in across the south west of Western Australia.  I didn’t send an image of my view to them, but did stop to take a quick snap.  Mist clung to the ground, while the hues of theContinue reading “Cuts like a knife”
