I have been very remiss this summer at attempting to get into the ocean for a swim with the fish. The conditions for a second year on the trot have been pretty average. The wrong type, or should I say direction, of winds resulting in the ocean never being given a real chance to properlyContinue reading “Waiting for the right moment”

Hidden delights
Life is about to change for Sam and Michaela, as they prepare to bring new life into the world. The months leading up to this point have been way busier than anticipated, and Sam told me this was likely to be the last opportunity to get out for some “him” time. Like me getting outdoorsContinue reading “Hidden delights”
A glowing report
The same four of us who rolled south to Peaceful Bay just a couple of month back were back in the car heading south this weekend. Not quite so far this time, and not even intending to hit the true south coast. It was a very lazy start, allowing us to pick up a mid-morningContinue reading “A glowing report”
That’s a wrap
Today we were heading to Wilyabrup with a crowd. Seven of us, which is more than the normal trip out. That said Kellie was, as per normal, would be heading off for a run to leave the rest of us to it. The number sadly dropped before we began, as on arrival at Capel RongyContinue reading “That’s a wrap”
The premonition
I should have known that I probably didn’t need two days off to reset my body clock before I get back to work. With a full day, and no need for napping, yesterday I spent my time catching up on mundane domestic stuff, as after a week or so away my OCD tendencies kick in. Continue reading “The premonition”
Half way round the world
It felt more than six months since my last trip back to the homelands to see the folks, but that is all it had been when I once again popped over for a cuppa or two. More frequent and shorter trips is the way of it, and some may think a week visit is tooContinue reading “Half way round the world”
Housework
Domestic duties can at time get in the way of getting out into nature, but today it was quite the opposite. It’s been a reasonably busy and long couple of weeks at work, in part as there was a need to wrap things up today. Watching the extra hours build up each day, and asContinue reading “Housework”
Ice creams all round
I am not the best in social situations, especially where there is small talk. That said I have tried to encourage the social aspects of our local crew. Back some years there was pretty good social element going and we’d meet up at crag, to watch climbing films or flick fests, or at someone’s house. Continue reading “Ice creams all round”
Cooking lessons
At twenty six degrees we were not intending to feel like we were getting cooked. Maybe that was what led Josh to try his luck and suggest a 5:45 meeting time in Capel, by which time the sun had well and truly risen into the sky. As it was I didn’t object to the time,Continue reading “Cooking lessons”
Four!
We finally managed to get the pest control booked in for Thursday last week, to spray the house and deter spiders from cohabitating with us. We have this done annually, this time being delayed and we had noticed an increase in White-tailed Spiders (Lampona cylindrata). These were the biggest concern, as bites from these canContinue reading “Four!”
