In view that I have been off work for four days, it may be surprising I haven’t posted anything until today. In part due to the ocean conditions not being great for swimming with the fish off our local beach. But also due to yet another little mishap, which will get a mention later. IContinue reading “Lost and found”

A nasty pasty
The water hasn’t been playing nice at our local beach this week, resulting in me not going in for a morning snorkel on Saturday. Instead suggesting to Lisa after she returned from her plunge, which is not reliant on needing clear waters, that we could have a trip into town. There were a few bitsContinue reading “A nasty pasty”
Swings and roundabouts
Repeating last Friday’s early start, getting up at 3:30 felt strangely much more acceptable this week. It was not just me that thought it, Howsie also said it felt more bearable for him too. Despite leaving the house with only the garden solar lights breaking through the darkness, by the time we met at theContinue reading “Swings and roundabouts”
The puzzle
Over the last few months, mostly, Elseya and I have been working on a few puzzles. With Lisa dipping in on rare occasions. I do love getting lost in a good puzzle, and it can be a great relaxing timewaster. This one however was not relaxing, not in the slightest, and was frustratingly difficult. InContinue reading “The puzzle”
Taking calculated risks
After walking in the dark until seven thirty or later in England last week, it felt a little strange for the sun to be on its way up at five as I waited for Josh in Capel. I even wondered whether we should have met an hour earlier to maximise our time on rock duringContinue reading “Taking calculated risks”
Please sir, can I have some more
The moon looked extra special this morning. Unfortunately the view didn’t last, as it slipped below a doona made of clouds. A bit like Lisa’s face did after I had popped a sippy mug of tea on her bedside table, and said goodbye. I’ve just read that the moon’s orbit last night had brought itContinue reading “Please sir, can I have some more”
Cuts like a knife
Driving out shortly after 5am, the radio broadcaster was talking about all the glorious sunrise images listeners were sending in across the south west of Western Australia. I didn’t send an image of my view to them, but did stop to take a quick snap. Mist clung to the ground, while the hues of theContinue reading “Cuts like a knife”
Aerial displays
A late phone call, as opposed to a message, from Howsie could only mean one thing. Our planned trip out on Friday was off the table. I had previously also drawn a blank when asking the wider group if anyone was available on the weekend. Um, what to do. Then shortly after Howsie’s call, IContinue reading “Aerial displays”
Waiting for the sun
A few weeks back, when David posted that he was going to be camping up at the Honeymoon Pool this weekend, I was a little surprised to hear that there were only a couple of sites left. During school holidays it is certainly very busy, but outside of them there are usually ample sites available. Continue reading “Waiting for the sun”
The leaky brain
Despite waking up numerous times on Friday night to poke my head outside, I didn’t get to see another light display in the sky. It just goes to show how lucky Howsie and I were on Friday morning, and I’m still pinching myself about it. When the morning arrived Lisa headed to the beach forContinue reading “The leaky brain”
