A damp forecast resulted in me bailing on a trip to Perth to climb with Mario. The five to six hour round trip for a possibly wet rock experience simply didn’t seem appealing. Instead of the excitement of going somewhere new, and as there was the promise of a dry’ish morning locally, Wilyabrup seemed aContinue reading “Driving round”

The fifth elephant
In the fictional world created by Terry Pratchett, the Discworld is held up by four giant elephants that in turn stand on top of the giant star turtle, as it travels through space. The fifth elephant is said to have crashed into the Discworld at the beginning of time, leaving a wealth of treasures. ThisContinue reading “The fifth elephant”
Looking down
On Saturday Lisa and I headed out for the morning, but that had been a town visit and as such did not satisfied my desire to be outdoors. Orchid season could be considered a little early, but regardless of that I headed to the Capel Nature Reserve later the same day. Before I got there,Continue reading “Looking down”
Jewel in the crown
After a lazy start to the day I got itchy feet and convinced Lisa it would be nice to take the poodles out for a walk, or should I say sniff, round Manea Park. From the start I was not expecting to see much, and certainly not thinking that I would see enough to writeContinue reading “Jewel in the crown”
Down the road
We’ve moved office, all of 700m down the road from where we were before. This might seem a little odd but the old building was well, old. Things were falling apart, the technology was a bit dated, and the office design didn’t match the so called “modern style”. So in May of this year weContinue reading “Down the road”
Under the hood
With the second day of the weekend being glorious, it was a shame to waste it being inside all day so we went for a wander. The last couple of trips out with the poodles have been north to Manea Park in Bunbury, only 25km away but being just round the corner from the officeContinue reading “Under the hood”
Cramping my style
Unlike progress on the bridge at the base of the dam at Wellington National Park, I’ve been overdoing it a bit and have clocked up way too many hours at work. So much so I had a choice today, work and forfeit the hours or take the day off as a flexi. The choice wasContinue reading “Cramping my style”
Setting the pace
While I was having fun on rock yesterday Lisa had managed to polish off the last of the school reports. So waking up to a crisp blue sky, we decided to head out for a walk. Having a sneaky feeling the weather would break at some point during the day, we plumped for a quickContinue reading “Setting the pace”
Waiting to be named
Instead of hours on rock this weekend; hours have been spent futilely delving into the world of fungi. The reason for not getting out for a climb, and not worrying too much about it, being that Craig opened up his indoor wall to allow a few of us to pop over on Saturday afternoon, forContinue reading “Waiting to be named”
Setting the right pace
Today we went on yesterday’s walk. Taking in the stretch of coastline that I was going to wander along before Rongy had diverted my attention and time to a climbing trip. Yesterday I would have been by myself, but Lisa was starting to bounce back after not feeling the best and lacking energy over theContinue reading “Setting the right pace”
