Sunrise on Thursday while heading to work was magical. Whispery cirrostratus were being illuminated in different hues. These are high level clouds, of which there are three main types all with a prefix that comes from the Latin word cirro that means curl of hair. Friday morning I kept my fingers crossed that Howsie andContinue reading “Overthinking it”

The Easter Bunny
Regardless of your beliefs Easter is often seen as a time for people to spend with family, and of course eat chocolate. Not surprisingly the call out to see who may be available to get out went unanswered. Each of my normally trusty partners in climb busy with family and/or other things. So on Friday,Continue reading “The Easter Bunny”
Parasites
Things took a turn for the worse the day after I experienced unexpected clear conditions, which were so good that they tempted me into the water twice in one day. The next day I was still able to make out what was below me, although things were being stirred up and the marine life mustContinue reading “Parasites”
Under observation
On Thursday the plans that had been laid for Friday were scuppered. Howsie had fallen victim to some unwanted lurgy. My mind was however already prepared for heading out somewhere, as opposed to be stuck in front of a computer living the real life version of Utopia. Alternative plans were solidified after a few quickContinue reading “Under observation”
Deceptive looks
I’ve not given up on swimming with the fish. Despite knowing there are clearer waters available if I was to jump in the car and drive for about an hour, I do like the convenience of being able to walk three minutes down the road. Last weekend I popped in on Sunday morning, which wasContinue reading “Deceptive looks”
The energy saver
Threats of rain, which never materialised, helped build up the moisture levels in the air this week. It’s been a bit warm’ish but nothing too silly, although as a result of the higher humidity levels it has also been a tad sweaty. I attempted to have a stretch on my wall midweek, but after aContinue reading “The energy saver”
Two left feet
First in best dressed. While options abound this weekend Mario was first in. Offering a trip to another lonely granite outcrop, buried in the vegetation at the Monadnocks Conservation Park. This meant a longer drive and earlier start to what has occurred for some time, as well as the longest drive since the car havingContinue reading “Two left feet”
Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head
The promise of much needed rain, not just a light sprinkle, disappointed. The landscape is parched. Wetlands that normally survive our normal long dry summer are suffering; river pools that provide refuge for our freshwater aquatic ecosystems are drying up; and even terrestrial native vegetation that has evolved to survive our climate is severely underContinue reading “Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head”
Dropping in
With back to back days of heading out I put forward the idea of another tardy start. The relaxed meet up time resulted me getting up close to my usual wake up time. And I hope will prevent fatigue setting in, from the cumulative effects of back to back nights of reduced sleep. Josh wasContinue reading “Dropping in”
Hanging about
Another Friday has been spent hanging about outdoors. Howsie was keen for a quick’ish trip today as later on they would join the throngs of people on the road. Being the start of a long weekend it was going to get busy for sure. Despite the need to be back in a timely manner weContinue reading “Hanging about”
