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”
One for the road
My body clock seems to be getting into the swing of 4:30am wakeup times. This may be in part due to the earlier start time of the dawn chorus.

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”

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”
Packing it in
Now that Lisa is back at work, for the fourth and final term of the school year, my usual Thursday and Friday work from home days have kicked back in. Allowing the opportunity to join her morning beach walk on Thursday, when we found this unlucky Bighead Gurnard Perch (Neosebastes pandus). Based on its conditionContinue reading “Packing it in”
