A 1927 film titled The Unknown was almost lost forever, but was restored several years back. Considered one of the premier works of the silent film era. A period that commenced approx. 35 years before it started to wane, when technology enabled sound to be incorporated. An ability that crept into the scene in sameContinue reading “Too many unknowns”

The Waterboys
I have a vague recollection of including a reference about a guide being released, probably a wee while back now. One that had drawn Howsie and my attention, as well as many others. After my last visit to the UK in February we planned two trips to this majestic place. The first would have seenContinue reading “The Waterboys”
Calm conditions required
Going for a solo mission today I wasn’t intending to write anything up, but after finally plumping for a title for my last post I felt I had unfinished business. The term ‘plumb tuckered out’ came to me at the end of writing the post, and as such didn’t get any attention. Just as theContinue reading “Calm conditions required”
Plumb tuckered out
Things at work seem to slow down a tad during the Easter school holidays. Maybe due to hordes of people taking advantage of the opportunity to book just a few days off and be rewarded with a decent break. The downside for us, living where we do, is many of these people gravitate towards ourContinue reading “Plumb tuckered out”
Who wants to live forever
In the topsy-turvy world of weather these days, which is a self-inflicted phenomenon, the reason I got wrapped up in the topic of autumn weather having only just starting to feel like it has arrived in my last post was justified. The forecast was for warmer-than-average days and nights and a high chance of below-averageContinue reading “Who wants to live forever”
Autumn blues
Having reached halfway through autumn, a few noticeable differences are creeping into our early morning starts. The nights are cooling off, which means the rock during the first few lines can make the fingers feel a bit tingly. This is due to the rock having radiated out more of the heat it had captured theContinue reading “Autumn blues”
Wrapping up
Urged on by my recent first orchid sighting, as well as needing a bit of a stretch after an extremely relaxed do nothing day yesterday, I headed to the Capel Nature Reserve for a stroll. It was a chilled wander in more ways than one. Firstly I was in no rush. Secondly, a liberal layerContinue reading “Wrapping up”
Regretting your choices
A thought came to mind after climbing at Smiths Beach yesterday, of reversing the situation from several weeks back. Climbing two days on the trot, but this time hitting Welly Dam on the second day. It is a bit cheeky for Howsie to head out on consecutive mornings, as it takes him away from hisContinue reading “Regretting your choices”
Undecided
There are many theories about the meaning and origins of ‘two is company, three’s a crowd’, which was first recorded in 1670s by John Ray in his collection of English Proverbs. Digging deeper a Spanish twist exists as a slight variation with compañía de tres no vale res, which directly translates to ‘a company ofContinue reading “Undecided”
Numero uno
After much of the landscape had a good soaking over Friday and Saturday, delivering well over half of the total March average, Craig was keen to risk an atmospheric climb. As mentioned in my last post the winds hadn’t picked up at all. However, the clouds still hung heavy and showers were still about. WilyabrupContinue reading “Numero uno”
