Back in the Game

Good to be back on out climbing, pity it was on the plastic stuff.  The technique was still there but 'OH MY DAYS' where has the fitness and strength gone?

The route ahead

Building up to climbing on rock again seems a long way away but summer is here, or has it already been!!  Ached all over this morning and the office day did not help.

So here is to many summer days spent beneath and on a crag with warm drinks, some music and some dodge food; I raise my glass of Klein Steenburg Bordeaux blend to that.

Wildlife, Wine and Wassup

So the time has come to think about the joys of booking holidays.  Going from a care free life of playing hard and working hard but work was hard to find to a life of working hard and playing hard but play had to be planned a week in advance. 

Having the simple of life of the outdoors is a joy and drinking wine is a joy, especially after having a 1 on 1 tasting session with someone who knows what they are on about...not in a pretentious way mind.

 
THIS....
Or                     THIS?





So the dilemma continues between the drinking lovely wine and having a job that I love and that of the outdoors, adventure and the unknown.  Not a major dilemma to deal with but a massive lifestyle change has already begun.


Now just the rest of the direction of life to deal with, I think staying at home is on the cards for now = ideas to do up the house in a rustic style, coming right up in a few weeks time?
