With an extra day in hand to get into nature this working week, and considering I have not touched rock once in September, you may be surprised to hear that I opted not to climb today. I could be pleased with myself for showing restrain in not going too hard, to avoid the risk ofContinue reading “Tipping the scales”

My favourite
In keeping up with our promise to each other for regular trips, Lisa and I had a night away booked for last weekend. It turned out to be a bit of a wash out in several ways. Regardless of that we still enjoyed being away, and a changed environment always helps to recharge the batteries. Continue reading “My favourite”
Leave me alone
Getting ready for a wander this morning with thoughts of a near three quarter of an hour drive, my plans were scuppered. My own doing. I started messaging John, which saw me doing a bit more editing of his near complete book of moderate climbs in Australia. English language was my worse subject at school,Continue reading “Leave me alone”
Safety first
Sunday morning arrived and I felt the need to get out in nature, without the need to drive too far. The Capel Nature Reserve beckoned, with an unexpected fine day and the sun beaming down on the world. I hope I don’t jinx things but maybe we might start to have a few good daysContinue reading “Safety first”
Cloud watching
Now I know one reason the snorkelling was particular pants last summer. It is due, in part at least, to the moon’s 18.6-year wobble. This may sound like something out of a science fiction film. However, unlike those films where the moon is either at risk from an asteroid strike or breaks its orbit toContinue reading “Cloud watching”
Whose counting
Looking out and seeing a blue sky as I type this makes me think that maybe I should have gone for an afternoon wander. Or possibly even a climb, not that I would have had success in convincing anyone to head out. It had looked like we would be blanketed in clouds and rain allContinue reading “Whose counting”
A winning streak
True to her words, on Sunday last weekend, Lisa and I headed to mini Pear Mill as it will be known from now, but only by us. Here we enjoyed a taste of decadence, played a game of scrabble, and were surrounded by a diverse range of antiquities. The latter distracting our attention when theContinue reading “A winning streak”
The damage is done
Chopping and changing is the best way to describe this winter. With what looks like another washed out weekend was ahead of us. So, with more flexitime stacked up than I should have, I took today off. Looking the more promising of the tail end days of my working week. I was also spurred onContinue reading “The damage is done”
Different ways of walking
We are experiencing a bit of a lull. I had a fair bit of success in April and May. Now with most of the early orchids having been and gone things have eased up during June and into July. The next batch are starting their journey of coming into bloom albeit a bit slowly, whichContinue reading “Different ways of walking”
Deenergised
For a change this post does not start with an early morning, but a late arrival image. Lisa and I were sticking to our agreed plan, and were off for our next short getaway. Heading out on Friday Lisa struggled to leave work any earlier than normal, so by the time we arrived at ourContinue reading “Deenergised”
