It was way too much like hard work this morning, when at 4am the alarm violently shook me out of my deep slumber. When we had agreed the time earlier that week our reasoning was sound. The destination being just a wee bit further than usual, and the temperatures threatening to tip into the thirties. Continue reading “Just one regret…”

Big brother
I thought I had been pretty good with taking time off from work this year, but I seem to have got towards the end of the year with a fair bit of leave up my sleeve. This included one day of a particular type of leave that if I did not use it I wouldContinue reading “Big brother”
Give a dog a bone
A sixteen hour round trip to catch up with friends down in Esperance was just a bit too much to think about for Ash this weekend. This worked out well for me, as it meant I had someone to hold the rope and I didn’t have to go solo again. As Sam found out lastContinue reading “Give a dog a bone”
Adjustment time
All good things must come to an end. Or a better way to look at it, is that they are being placed on hold until the right time comes round again. After watching the spikes come up from the large green leaves that you would not usually associate with an orchid, for a month orContinue reading “Adjustment time”
Too much of a good thing
Walking out this morning, and once we hit the coast to make our way northwards, ours were the only footprints to be seen. There was however plenty of other life about. The underside of one roof system we passed was moving, covered in hundreds of thousands of midges that once disturbed erupted into a cloudContinue reading “Too much of a good thing”
A cool find
In the South West of Western Australia we would normally have access to the Bureau of Meteorology radar imagery from the Perth (Serpentine) radar. But this has been out of action since late August, so it becomes a little trickier to check what’s happening in our neck of the woods. Added to this, despite summerContinue reading “A cool find”
In the dark
For those that may be wondering if I have given up looking for orchids, the response is both a yes and no. Certainly as summer approaches and the land dries and temperature warms up, the abundance and variation of orchids on display in our area is declining. I’ve been out hunting a few times, butContinue reading “In the dark”
The Cure
Recovering from his first taste of COVID Howsie was keen to get out, but seeing it had taken it out of him he was also to take things easy. So we agreed to hit a few familiar lines so he could ease his body back into exercise, without fear of pushing it too far andContinue reading “The Cure”
A good day out
What with visiting the same locations for a climb as many times as we do, you sometimes have to shake things up to make them interesting. This weekend Rongy was first to jump on the bandwagon to say he was keen to get out, and I threw out the idea of aiming to achieve whatContinue reading “A good day out”
A taste of things to come
My usual radio station while driving is Triple M. Probably, as my daughter would say, because it plays old stuff. Mixing up tunes from the 60s through to the 90s. Although they also throw in what they consider the better tracks from the more modern era of music, i.e. since the start of the secondContinue reading “A taste of things to come”
