A few people at work have been keen to see what the appeal of rock is all about. I‘ve already converted Sam, and today Mike decided to have a go. 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”
Overthinking it
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”
