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”
Stowed away
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. No surprises there, when does the climate behave in accordance with the season of old now anyway. Unlike the last trip it was only meContinue reading “Flying back”
Dawdling along
I’ve managed one more dip in this unusual season. And it may be the last until the next snorkelling season comes along, as I’ll be unable to get into the water for a little while. It felt cool walking down this morning, and we have recently had some overnight single digit readings on the thermometer. Continue reading “Dawdling along”
