It was time for our next weekend getaway. Not sure we picked the best dates. A public holiday on Monday extended it to three days, which would no doubt result in more traffic and potentially difficulty in booking somewhere. Then added to that a pretty big front was due to roll in on Friday, theContinue reading “Keeping scrolling”

Sticking to the schedule
With Nadia away with friends, we had to wait till a wee bit later in the morning before we could hit the road for another Friday rock session. It meant the chance of a collision with the animals was far reduced. Although the roads were significantly busier with the less fortunate souls that still hadContinue reading “Sticking to the schedule”
Following my footsteps
It may be dead but I couldn’t resist including an image of this Hairy Stone Crab (Lomis hirta), mainly because it is the first time I have found one. While the name includes the word crab, it only has three pairs of legs in addition to the claws. This means it is not a trueContinue reading “Following my footsteps”
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Back in the era when cassette tapes were all the rage, I had an album titled Greatest Western Themes. It got a good workout. There’s something about the music from the older westerns that I kinda like. One composer stood out on this album, Ennio Morricone. In addition to his previous achievements, once he movedContinue reading “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”
Fore!
I’ve again found myself fall foul of my own enthusiasm. Pushing things that bit too far, such that my body is giving me warning signs to ease up. The niggles of golfers elbow developing in both arms. More than likely as a result of the weights session rather than the climbing, but to be safeContinue reading “Fore!”
Shades of grades
Sixes were in the air. The 6th moon phase was on display with a 66% waning gibbous moon. Lighting the path as Mario and I aimed for a first light start at Cosy Corner, at 6am. Driving out yesterday the moon was hidden behind a blanket of clouds. Today it look very different. Maybe forContinue reading “Shades of grades”
Walking on sunshine
The car slowly came to a standstill. Having spotted them a long way off, the wallaby and it’s joey stood motionless in front of the car as it came to a stop. The intense full beams made brighter by the light bar, had either blinded them or confused them to the point they became statues. Continue reading “Walking on sunshine”
Busy bees
Howsie will admit that sometimes the weight of all the hats he wears can be a little overwhelming. Today for example a voluntary afternoon commitment came up, being half way up to Mandurah north of Bunbury. After last weeks failed Friday foray Howsie was still very keen to get out this week, and as FridayContinue reading “Busy bees”
Get up & go
No we were not partaking in what is claimed to be Australia’s top breakfast drink. Yet another packaged and processed way to start the day, which advertising will claim is good for us. Instead a simple cup of tea sufficed to prepare Howsie and I for another Friday session. It’s been a stinker of aContinue reading “Get up & go”
Nothing to see
This will confuse Adrian. He’ll have no recollection of the opening image nor a few to follow. There are four orchids that are known to flower early, potentially popping up in March. Working from home on Friday meant an early finish and the chance to head into the Capel Nature Reserve to see what IContinue reading “Nothing to see”
