Brain power

With a near full (office) work day under my belt, I was able to slip out the house at 11am. The drive to Howsie’s was way busier compared to the earlier times we normally head out. And it was also that way when we drove out of Bunbury and up the hill towards Collie. However,Continue reading “Brain power”

Seeing things

Needing to rectify the error of my ways, after I dunked my phone in the ocean or should I say the ocean dunked my phone and me, I scored a five series upgrade. Being lucky to avoid the expense of buying a new one, as Elseya still had her old phone. It was somewhat ofContinue reading “Seeing things”

Davy Jones’ locker

The term ‘lost at sea’ is a bit of a misunderstood saying. It was linked to Davy Jones’ locker in 1791, when an article in the newspaper called the Chester Chronicle said ‘to be within Davy Jones’s locker was to be lost at sea’. It was originally used to refer to the final resting placeContinue reading “Davy Jones’ locker”

Sometimes adequate is good enough

Continuing my theory that fresh air is currently even better for me than usual, and because it is a public holiday I headed and out again. Or was it more because regardless of how I feel, and as long as I am able too, I will always prefer being outdoors rather than indoors. Truth beContinue reading “Sometimes adequate is good enough”

Putting things into perspective

It’s an extra-long weekend for me, having taken Friday off and Monday being a public holiday. Not the best timing for Lisa to share her lurgy with Elseya and me. While I can feel that I am not bug free, I have not been struck down in the same way Lisa was all of lastContinue reading “Putting things into perspective”

Having a laugh

I hadn’t picked up on the silence last Sunday, as I battled hard on the steep unforgiving walls at Welly Dam. Not from the lack of people, but the lack of birds. I thought it may have been as a result of the quicker pace I take when top rope soloing, meaning I’m on rockContinue reading “Having a laugh”

Hanging by a thread

Today’s plans to head out for a walk, followed by a feed, with Lisa were scuppered. When yesterday she started to feel unwell. Rather than rattling about the house feeling restless, which would not have provided a relaxing environment to aid her recovery, I aimed to get out. An unsettled forecast meant the decision ofContinue reading “Hanging by a thread”

Setting the right pace

Maybe despite better judgement, after my pretty big morning climbing, Lisa convinced me to walk the zig-zag with her, when she got home. This is a circuit she does with the Peppy Plungers, who are also known to walk up and down the lookout. The dogs were excited when their leads went on, but thisContinue reading “Setting the right pace”

Let the hunt begin

It was an early start today, and there was a full moon to light the way. My intention being to get a first light start at Wilyabrup. The decision to head out so early was made easy being a solo trip, and my body is back to waking up at silly o’clock. Watching the moonContinue reading “Let the hunt begin”

It’s different up north

Back in the homeland it’s a common thing to hear ‘its grim up north’, or at least it used to be. Having lived in the north and south of England and really enjoying both areas for different reasons, I’d disagree. Hence, I’d rather say ‘it’s different up north’. And Western Australia is similar, although fromContinue reading “It’s different up north”
