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”
Making the time
Yesterday we caught up with some friends who we hadn’t seen for too long, as we made some time for a kinda farewell catch-up for Tom who would soon be heading overseas. It was great to see everyone, and with luck I might get to have a climb with Tom in a few weeks asContinue reading “Making the time”
No complaints
Today was back to getting up and heading out the door in darkness. While I could complain that I needed to stay that little bit more alert driving out at this time, to avoid the kangaroos. On the plus side it is the time of day that I am most likely to see a Brush-tailedContinue reading “No complaints”
A good vintage
I was torn today, whether to use my window of opportunity to go orchid hunting or play on a cliff. I had two plus hours up my sleeve in-between dropping off and then needing to pick up Lisa and Elseya, who were going for a wine and dine experience. It really is not something IContinue reading “A good vintage”
Just can’t help ourselves
For me establishing ground-up first ascents is the best way to climb, having absolutely no knowledge of what lies above other than the assumptions you make from what you can see from below. Tying in, racking up and then setting off with all the uncertainty of whether it can be protected, what the rock qualityContinue reading “Just can’t help ourselves”
Blowing the cobwebs away
I should have known that I wouldn’t survive the whole weekend with a desire and need to get outdoors. Maybe I could have, but today I really needed to empty my head of all the thoughts rattling round inside and bumbling about at home just was not going to help me achieve that. Lisa’s headContinue reading “Blowing the cobwebs away”
The friendly crag
A morning beach walk with Lisa and poodles was in order today. Lisa takes the pooches to our beach most days before she heads off to school, which is quite some time after I have already left for work. And on days I am working from home my head is filled with work thoughts fromContinue reading “The friendly crag”
