Winter surprises

It has been an unusually long spell since I’ve been on the sharp end of a rope. Being just shy of a month. While winter took a while to getting going, it is fully here and feeling like a winter of the old days. That is no bad thing for the environment. It does howeverContinue reading “Winter surprises”

Better luck next time

With a break from the rain upon us, which coincided with the weekend, it was time to make use of our great outdoor playground. On Saturday morning the swell was having a break from resembling a washing machine, providing for a more relaxed bob for Lisa and the rest of the Peppy Plungers. I’m notContinue reading “Better luck next time”

Orchid spikes

Apologies for those that may have been wondering where I was hiding over the last two weeks. It is a rarity for me not to sit down at my keyboard for a fortnight. I certainly wasn’t out on rock, nor wandering out bush. Not due to injuries or illnesses, but because Lisa and I gotContinue reading “Orchid spikes”

Taking a rain check

You may recall Howsie was considering not climbing on Friday this week. However, once the boys had left for school he found himself home alone, with Nadia out until mid-morning. Indicating to me that he may crack on with a bit of gardening, I planted a seed of my own. Suggesting we could spend anContinue reading “Taking a rain check”

Going shopping

Despite how I ended my post yesterday, Howsie and I kept messaging each other with ideas of how we may be able to retrieve our gear. Unfortunately, we didn’t know anyone close enough to ask them to pop out. There were however two other possibilities. Howsie said he may head down with the family onContinue reading “Going shopping”

Weighing up the cost

There’s no avoiding it, some weeks life just gets hectic. This was one of those for Howsie. Planting season in the natural resource management sector is very much at the mercy of the weather. As a result of the way the seasons have been this year, it has been hard to prepare sites and nowContinue reading “Weighing up the cost”

The comfort zone

Another cool and crisp morning greeted Howsie, David, Josh, and myself. There was hardly a breeze and stunning morning hues, as we wandered along the beach towards Moses Rocks. It was time to for me claw back some hours, and a Friday morning out seemed like the perfect way to use those hours. Josh hasContinue reading “The comfort zone”

Putting my feet up

Today we welcomed a newcomer to our local climbing crew. David arrived from Ireland a few months back, and as yet had not had much success in meeting climbers. It is however small world, and he happened to be working with Ash’s partner. And while Ash has not been out climbing with us for whatContinue reading “Putting my feet up”

Rewinding the good times

You may be wondering why I may be writing about a climbing trip, in view that the last time I went climbing I took a fall, injuring myself. I’ll start by saying we have not climbed with Pontus for some time, due to him being stuck in Perth for work. Some weeks back he mentionedContinue reading “Rewinding the good times”

Hobbling along

Closing my laptop on Thursday and not being motivated to drive anywhere, I looked at my orchid guide to see what other species flower early. There are a couple of shell orchids that are known to flower about this time, and better still are found in dense heath, Peppermint, and Tuart woodlands. The A classContinue reading “Hobbling along”
