Lisa and I had intended to head out for a walk last weekend, as her energy levels had returned to somewhere near pre-COVID. Unfortunately, as seems to happen with life, other things distracted us and we didn’t get out. So this weekend I was more determined to get her out and about, for something otherContinue reading “Game on”

Gone fishing
Heading out with Mario is always good, but this time I did wonder if I would have the stamina to keep up. While I have been out the last few weekends, since my isolation period ended, on both trips we’ve jumped on lower grade routes. Not that this has in anyway diminished our enjoyment ofContinue reading “Gone fishing”
Chased away
For some reason this weekend felt more welcome than usual. I can’t quite put my finger on why but it may be related to still feeling a bit low on energy, and having just endured a full week back in the office. Better still there were people keen to get out for a climb, whichContinue reading “Chased away”
Oomph
With a propensity to be able to name itself as “the best in the world”, Australia recently bagged another record. This time probably not one it wanted, with the most recorded COVID infection per capita. Despite Elseya, Lisa and I being careful and still taking precautions, despite the relaxing rules, I managed to bring itContinue reading “Oomph”
May day
A week or so back we were greeted with a lovely red sunrise, but the sailor’s rule of thumb for predicting the weather served as a warning that we were in for a change. There is an element of truth in this, in that weather systems in the mid latitudes will usually move from westContinue reading “May day”
Taking the plunge
The cooling night time temperatures are bring on the morning dew, and driving out of Peppermint Grove Beach the hundreds of orb spider webs on the fence lines on the roadside become so much more visible. It was a later start than normal today, so with sufficient light I stopped to check out and takeContinue reading “Taking the plunge”
The photo shoot
It feels like it has been a long time since I have been to the main cliffs at Wilyabrup, and looking back it has been almost three months. Today for the first visit in such a long time Howsie and I were on a mission. He has not been feeling all that great and IContinue reading “The photo shoot”
Squatters rights
The water was as clear as I had hoped, after I observed it from my bird’s eye view when I flew over during my trip back from Melbourne. I’ve since popped in for a snorkel twice, the first dive was with my short wetsuit lasting half an hour and it felt cold so today IContinue reading “Squatters rights”
Changing times
This post is a bit long and I did consider splitting it into three, but the fingers kept typing and it seemed to flow so well I’ve left it as one big read. I have however included a sub-heading to distinguish the three sections, so it makes it easier to digest in stages so youContinue reading “Changing times”
The beach shack
Way before the camper trailer was even a twinkle in Lisa’s eye, we had booked a getaway down on the south coast. Making use of Lisa’s long service leave to allow us to have a break during school term time, and also having Elseya at home to look after the poodles. Dogs were allowed toContinue reading “The beach shack”
