Another weekday jaunt, and you may be wondering how I managed back to back Friday outings. Several reasons that I won’t dwell on The most important one being that with a soon to be changing job, from August onwards, Howsie will no longer have Friday’s free. At least for his first month or two. NotContinue reading “Winter wonderland”

It’s all in the song title
The public has been warned that “winter is coming”, and is being urged to prepare for the first major storm of the season. A cold front and low-pressure system is forecast to hit the west coast today, bringing with it showers, thunderstorms, and gusty winds. Rainfall of several inches was predicted, which doesn’t sound likeContinue reading “It’s all in the song title”
Supernatural powers
Lucky for me I worked from home on Friday. When one of Lisa’s plunging friends messaged her to say we had a unusual visitor on the beach, I was able to quickly hoof it down to see for myself. The sweeping prints left by the flippers indicated it had come ashore very recently. They ledContinue reading “Supernatural powers”
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”
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”
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”
Giving back
It’s good to see a place with a fresh pair of eyes. Things we take for granted once again become fresh, interesting, and noticed. We had a relatively late arrival at the Wilyabrup carpark, which I didn’t complain about. With the sun up in the sky that bit more, the view back up the gravelContinue reading “Giving back”
Adrian Gurvitz
While Howsie has for many years played in skater/surf punk bands, he has a wide range of music taste. I am not however sure this would extend to knowing Adrian Gurvitz. An English singer songwriter whose music career began in 1968, and is still recording and touring to this day. Not surprisingly his style hasContinue reading “Adrian Gurvitz”
Change of pace
I can’t conclusively say my hair of the dog remedy yesterday worked. True my arms were not as achy at the start of today as they were on Friday. This may however have resulted from the muscles having naturally repaired themselves sufficiently for the achiness to subside. The arms seemed to feel ready for anotherContinue reading “Change of pace”
