Kicking back

There was a chance that I would have been flying solo this weekend. That was until late in the week, when both Mario and Rongy’s partners made plans that didn’t include them leaving them free to play. Rongy decided on the Northern Blocks of Wilyabrup, which I was more than happy with. Partly because weContinue reading “Kicking back”

Here, there, and everywhere

I feel like I’ve been wandering about a fair bit weeks… and in part blame Josh for it. Not the Josh I climb with, but someone from work. Unlike me his job takes him out in the field a fair bit, to secluded spots where we have stream flow and groundwater level measurement infrastructure. ForContinue reading “Here, there, and everywhere”

In need of a recharge

It seems that there is always something on to stop us from dragging the camper trailer out of the shed. Which is where it has been stashed since April this year, but this weekend the stars aligned and we finally got away. The last time, despite it being glorious weather at home, we drove straightContinue reading “In need of a recharge”

A picture paints a thousand words

I’ve stumbled across a new local spot to hunt orchids, and it is the closest one to where we live yet. In fact it is an even shorter distance from where we lived for seven years, and we never checked it out. That might be because it isn’t publicised, has no parking areas, and thereContinue reading “A picture paints a thousand words”

Training day

Another inclement day, and this time is was Craig who joined me to brave the elements, not walking and hunting for orchids but for a climb. You may recall a few weeks back he joined us for a play at Moses Rocks, after a long absence from rock. I think he may have caught theContinue reading “Training day”

Time for a cuppa

Despite a not entirely favourable forecast and having driven through belts of rain to get here, Lisa and I were greeted to flat, vibrant, and aqua coloured water extending out into the distant ocean from Castle Rock Beach, which is located in the Meelup Regional Park. Even better, as we stepped out of the carContinue reading “Time for a cuppa”

Sitting on the fence

Friday afternoon I would normally be working from home, but due to unavoidable meetings I found myself in the office as the clock clicked towards the end of my working day and week. Earlier in the week I was chatting to a couple of people at work, who also like to check out the flowers,Continue reading “Sitting on the fence”

Time to feast

While I managed a trip out on both days this weekend, which were equally fun, both were relatively short. So I have decided to roll them into one, not so long, post. Saturday was a doing day, as several domestic duties called including heading into town. Something I am not particularly keen on, but onceContinue reading “Time to feast”

Whose leading who

With a sunny Sunday forecast Lisa and I headed to Nannup to repeat a walk we did last year on our wedding anniversary (https://sandbagged.blog/2021/10/31/21-again/). One we had talked about as a good place to take the poodles for a walk, for a test run. Being not too long and with a path that remains dry. Continue reading “Whose leading who”

Measuring up

Today Ash posed the question, where does the term sandbagged come from. Before looking at that I checked and found numerous definitions, discovering it can mean both “to thwart or cause to fail or be rejected” and “downplay or misrepresent one’s ability in a game or activity”. Thinking about my, not very good, pool playingContinue reading “Measuring up”
