While I didn’t get my hurkle-durkle in on Saturday, it was still a relatively lazy day. This resulted in me getting itchy feet and wanting to get out and do something on Sunday. My preference was a snorkel, but with a forecast of fresh winds and being mostly cloudy it was not looking promising forContinue reading “Colourful names”

Word of the day
Another 4am wake up time meant there was no hurkle-durkling for me today, which was in fact yesterday’s word of the day. Nor Chris who I would pick up three quarters of an hour later. There are a few things I do to reduce the time required between rolling out of bed, quite literally sometimesContinue reading “Word of the day”
Shuffling the books
While Lisa has been bobbing in the water off our local beach all winter with the Peppy Plungers, I have refrained from doing so. So while in recent weeks she has come back from her Saturday bob saying it was warm, I really had no idea what to expect. Usually I don’t swim with theContinue reading “Shuffling the books”
Another long goodbye
This morning the unwelcome sound of rumbling thunder rose me from my slumber. Truth be told I’d been woken up several times prior, when rain fell noisily on the plastic veranda roof right next to our open bedroom window. As such I had already checked the radar at 1 and again at 3. Each timeContinue reading “Another long goodbye”
Back to back
Being keen spy a whale or two, Lisa was up for a wander on Saturday. The obvious place to head was Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse from where a number of walk trails head out. One of which takes you to the point of Cape Naturaliste and a whale watching platform. Here you can in 180 degreeContinue reading “Back to back”
It’s the little things that count
I was hoping to capture todays sunrise. And being aware that I might miss that special moment of the day due to being on the road, I took this snap while parked outside Howsie’s house. The morning hues were on display, but it didn’t really show the full glory of the sun peaking over theContinue reading “It’s the little things that count”
Looking forward
It’s the one day of the year that I really don’t want to be at work, and would much rather get out into nature and enjoy life. Luckily falling on a Friday I was able to encourage Howsie to join me on a little excursion to head to unfamiliar territory, just to make the dayContinue reading “Looking forward”
Quality over quantity
Our 2006 Roads and Tracks Road Map of Western Australia, prepared by a potentially dodgy publisher on the basis that the contact for them was a ‘bigpond’ email address was once again misleading. The road names had potentially changed or swapped in places, and many of the dirt roads were shown as sealed and viceContinue reading “Quality over quantity”
A baker’s dozen
Several years back I heard of a fabled location called Orchid Valley, a place with a name that simply screamed out to be visited. Several of my work colleagues knew about it, as we have water resource monitoring stations located in the vicinity. They just happen to have been lucky enough to maintain the stationsContinue reading “A baker’s dozen”
A send-off to remember
Rongy is once more heading off travelling, so today we popped down to Wilyabrup for a farewell climb. Sarah is joining him this time, so she too came along for a climb, but was also hoping to get a bit of herping in. “Herpet” is a Greek word that means creeping, and it could beContinue reading “A send-off to remember”
