The comfort zone

I’m sure everyone has at some point been told putting yourself out of your comfort zone brings benefits, and trying new things helps us grow as individuals. We can choose to do this, but at times it is thrust upon us. This past week could have been an “interesting” one in that regard, but fortuneContinue reading “The comfort zone”

Crystal healing

It is a rare thing to have to scrape the ice of the windscreen where we live, but today it happened. First light was trickling in from the horizon but not enough to be able to clearly see the amazing patterns nature creates using ice, and the waning crescent moon didn’t help the cause. NotContinue reading “Crystal healing”

Window of opportunity

Not put off by the forecast, Rongy and I headed out hoping to catch a weather window. Reckoning the better chance would be on the coast of our little corner of the South West of Western Australia, as opposed to our other consideration of heading to an inland crag towards Perth. Based on this weContinue reading “Window of opportunity”

Making tracks

Josh foolishly said he was up for an early start when we made plans to head out to Moses Rocks. He was however in luck, and being a Saturday morning I already had in mind to offer Lisa a lift to the beach, for her first light ocean dip, before heading out. I left herContinue reading “Making tracks”

Cramping my style

Unlike progress on the bridge at the base of the dam at Wellington National Park, I’ve been overdoing it a bit and have clocked up way too many hours at work. So much so I had a choice today, work and forfeit the hours or take the day off as a flexi. The choice wasContinue reading “Cramping my style”

Setting the pace

While I was having fun on rock yesterday Lisa had managed to polish off the last of the school reports. So waking up to a crisp blue sky, we decided to head out for a walk. Having a sneaky feeling the weather would break at some point during the day, we plumped for a quickContinue reading “Setting the pace”

Seeing the wood, not the trees

There was a fair bit of procrastinating this week. The total rainfall for June was inching its way upwards in the statistics table, as I had predicted in my last post. Due to the uncertain conditions, I lost count of how many times I checked the regular weather app alongside the BoM isobar maps. Looking,Continue reading “Seeing the wood, not the trees”

Good karma

Winter seems to have set in and along with the increasing rain and decreasing temperatures comes the season of illnesses. There is currently talk of the big three hitting Western Australia being COVID, respiratory syncytial virus, and influenza A; and it seems that possibly during my trip to Perth I caught the latter. Starting toContinue reading “Good karma”

Back to basics

It has been a long time coming but I finally took up Mario’s offer to crash at Jena and his place for a night in Perth. Why has it taken this long, well there is no particular reason. Maybe in part because it is only two and half hours each way to most of theContinue reading “Back to basics”

Waiting to be named

Instead of hours on rock this weekend; hours have been spent futilely delving into the world of fungi. The reason for not getting out for a climb, and not worrying too much about it, being that Craig opened up his indoor wall to allow a few of us to pop over on Saturday afternoon, forContinue reading “Waiting to be named”
