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”
Going back for more
Geez, it feels good to be able to hop in the car and drive without needing to nervously listen for the thermo fan to kick in or the warning light to alert me that things are heating up. I’m way more alert as the driver than a passenger. So it was nice to be drivingContinue reading “Going back for more”
No objection
Another four day week. Um, there is a risk I might start to get used to this, but it can’t last forever. Only until I have reduced the leave I have built up. My rationale for taking it being that I’m doing my bit to help I reduce the leave liability risk of my employer! Continue reading “No objection”
Circular journeys
The body was weary after a reasonable session at Bob’s Hollow, and Josh almost missed the chance to get out today. Messaging me just as I getting ready to hit the sack last night. Despite being achy, the draw of another morning out on rock was just too appealing. He also got a surprise whenContinue reading “Circular journeys”
Good hygiene
Friday morning arrived at a time that most would not have realised existed. Lisa was still tucked up in bed, as I quietly rolled out, and went about my usual morning routine before I head out for a climb. This included pouring two cups of tea into thermos mugs, one for me to take andContinue reading “Good hygiene”
Fact and fiction
Third time lucky seems to work. The cause of my four months of woes has been revealed, by mechanic number three. I sadly still have to wait another week for the parts to arrive and everything being put back together. They have had the car since last Thursday, resulting in me working from home forContinue reading “Fact and fiction”
Making contact
‘It’s just out there’, swim out to the pontoon and the same distance again. So I have been told a few times. Lisa was heading out for her Saturday morning plunge, and the crew enter the water right off where the pontoon is located. You could say I decided to try this new bit ofContinue reading “Making contact”
