It feels like it has been a while since I climbed at Moses Rocks, but it has only been two months. That was with Tomski, who had asked at the time “where’s Jaime and why didn’t she come out with us”. So it seemed fitting that this time I headed out with Jaime, and noContinue reading “Totally absorbed”

Character building
For the second week on the trot when the weather goddess had decreed that the better weather for climbing would occur during the week. With a 100% chance of rain on both Saturday and Sunday only Alan showed any interest in getting out, and was only available for Sunday. As is so often the caseContinue reading “Character building”
Defying gravity
Steve was back in town. Making use of the relaxing pace of the south west to escape the rat race of Perth, collect his thoughts and recharge for the onslaught of the next stage of his hectic lifestyle. He’ll confess that the multiple and carried demands on his time are mostly self-initiated, so he hasContinue reading “Defying gravity”
The new car park
On Thursday we had a delivery of firewood. Many people have used their fires a for a bit now but we seem to either have a bit more resilience or a better insulated house. But even for Lisa and I Friday felt bitterly cold, and that evening we finally lit the fire. It didn’t takeContinue reading “The new car park”
Small world
In case you were wondering why I had not written up a post last weekend, it wasn’t intentional. What was intentional was not getting out for a climb, but I had hoped for one last snorkel near Castle Rock. The water would probably have been OK there, unlike at our local beach where the waterContinue reading “Small world”
The house-elves
Similar to Saturday morning, as I drive out of Peppy Beach the sky was thick and soupy. At times visibility on the road was down to mere meters. This soon cleared, as continued my journey inland, and above the mist first light was creeping into the sky. This morning I felt like I could haveContinue reading “The house-elves”
Garden ornaments
Sunday morning came in a bit strange. Lisa drove in for her fitness class in soupy fog and it was still lingering when she got back mid-morning. So instead of going for a snorkel I was up for a beach walk with Lisa and the dogs. Blue sky crept in and it looked like itContinue reading “Garden ornaments”
Staying in control
After a fun session of climbing at Castle Rock, Tomski, Jaime and I walked back to the car and as we walked I pondered whether the water conditions made it worth jumping in for a snorkel. It was hard to say as there looked to be a bit of swell, but the only way toContinue reading “Staying in control”
The tyranny of numbers
During the week Tomski hinted that after this weekend he may be leaving the south west and heading up to Perth, soon after intending to fly home to Israel. For that reason, and seeing it was a long weekend, I suggested that we could head out this morning despite also heading out on Monday forContinue reading “The tyranny of numbers”
The glass house
Friday night after work Lisa and I took the poodles for a walk down to the beach. The sunset was incredible, tendrils of the sole cloud bank stretched across the sky and turned yellow, orange and finally a fiery red as the sun dipped below the horizon. We stood watching the amazing show but IContinue reading “The glass house”
