Nil point

Today we had an early start with every intention of enjoying an eighteen kilometre track in the forests near Dwellingup, the aim was for us to start the walk at 8am. The forecast wasn’t great, but Lisa was prepared to risk it on the proviso that I didn’t stop too many times to take imagesContinue reading “Nil point”

The flapper

I’ll start with the reason for the title of this post, which is related to an incident during Alan and my indoor boulder session last Wednesday. On the last sequence of the night, and feeling a little tired, I snatched for a small hold. I didn’t catch the hold and my fingers slid over itsContinue reading “The flapper”

Itsy bitsy spider

Last weekend Howsie and his family had enjoyed a great few days out at Narrogin, exploring the local reserves and he sent me an image of a cluster of amazing looking orchids. Upon asking him if he left it was worth the drive out there for a day trip, he hesitated. Quite rightly to, asContinue reading “Itsy bitsy spider”

The scatterbrain

Dan is back in town. He somehow managed to escape the clutches of a lockdown life in Melbourne to join us in Western Australia and the freedom we have been enjoying here. With no work opportunities back home he made the decision to find work over here, which he did and after fourteen days ofContinue reading “The scatterbrain”

Fairy lights

Lisa and I, encouraged by a lovely but short walk last weekend, headed out today for a longer hike inland. Neither of us had been to Greenbushes before, and I have only ever know it as a lithium mine with a town site tacked on. That’s a bit harsh as Greenbushes has been round sinceContinue reading “Fairy lights”

Quietly hopeful

Lisa and I haven’t been out for a walks of late, and with each passing weekend there has been one reason or another as to why we didn’t get out. But with each passing week it seems to be harder and harder to get motivated, and get back into the swing of heading out forContinue reading “Quietly hopeful”

Odyssey

The plans were all set for a foray up to Welly Dam last weekend, but they fell apart. I instead had a very unusual day, for me, of lying on the sofa and watching TV. This lasted the whole day, as my body resisted any notion of getting up and doing anything. This made meContinue reading “Odyssey”

A swell time

The exciting news is that yesterday Lisa and I headed to Perth to pick a few bits up, and maximised the use of our time there by going to Rock Face indoor climbing gym. Where Lisa checked out some climbing shoes. With one big toe being fused and the other having bad osteoarthritis, it hasContinue reading “A swell time”

One more climb please

This week has been glorious. Beautiful warm sunny days and all that was supposed to change as the weekend commenced. If I was a conspiracist, I would think that some higher being was purposely throwing the poorer conditions at us on weekends when the majority of the population don’t work. But I’m not and addedContinue reading “One more climb please”

Rocks in our heads

Some would say we were a little nuts while others might say we had rocks in our head, the latter being maybe a little true but the former not so much. Admittedly when we had set the date for this camping and climbing trip, many months back, we had not envisaged that we would haveContinue reading “Rocks in our heads”
