My work days have been a bit all over the shop since I returned from the UK, and I found myself working from home on Wednesday this week. which is unusual. And even more unusually I found myself joining Lisa for part of her morning routine, when she took the dogs down the beach forContinue reading “Stowed away”

An uncommon sight
The weather has finally broken after the hottest and driest period on record for the South West of Western Australia. Much to the relief of many, but the first rains is not always good news. While I was in England a local dump of 50mm of rain, approx. 7% of the average annual rainfall, resultedContinue reading “An uncommon sight”
Feeling wobbly
When reaching for my glasses as I got out of the car for my morning walk to look for orchids, the tiny screw that held the frame tightly round one of the lenses had come out. Luckily all the parts of the dismantled glasses were still in the case, enabling me to fix them backContinue reading “Feeling wobbly”
Hard yakka
Who is Dave the postman you may ask. He has been the deliverer of post for my Mam and Dad since they moved up to Romiley some five’ish years back. And my sister, Seeta, for as long as she has been living in Romiley. He had been delivering the post on that particular round forContinue reading “Hard yakka”
Flying back
It was time to fly once more back to the homeland. I’d heard I should expect wet and damp conditions. Spring had not been what it normally would have been.

He had confessed to being scared of heights, so had set his expectations of achieving anything quite low. Pat, also from work, joined us forContinue reading “Redemption”
In the middle
When at work and asked how I am going, my normal response is ‘not bad’. I’ve been called out on this a few times, being questioned where in the spectrum of possible moods that places me. The question is often loaded, with the assumption I am indicating I may be erring on the gloomy side. Continue reading “In the middle”
Maybe next time
There’s only one good reason to get up earlier than I need to on a weekday, and as you can probably guess that is to go climbing. A few weeks back I almost made the near two hour trip to meet Pontus at a small spot just north of Pinjarra. As it was, things wentContinue reading “Maybe next time”
Taking a break
Was it me or were there no April Fool pranks this year in mainstream media? It may have been because it coincided with Easter Monday and was considered inappropriate, or that the pranks have moved to social media platforms that I don’t use. Being a public holiday I could afford the time to have aContinue reading “Taking a break”
