despite the fact i’ve not been working for the past month, i’ve still not managed to do any work on this site. most likely because i have vague plans of updating somehow, but i’m not sure how (using moveable type, or one of those new fangled applications – mt wouldn’t agree with my host for some reason, and the other thing i tried was just plain annoying). anyway, i’ve added to the russell the peak bagging moose page. meanwhile, it’s looking more and more likely that i’m going to have two winters in a row – yes, just as we’re hitting spring here, i’m getting set to go off and work in washington dc for up to 6 months. i hear it’s cold there.

i shall now cycle back home again and go on a pants hunt.

………

note to self: must stop writing posts about the fact i haven’t posted in ages.

yellow peril

playing on the ‘yellow peril’ sculpture. that’s not it’s real name, but a nick name it picked up when originally installed around 20 years ago. this was part of an expedition around the city finding things to climb on :)

going down the laundry chute

exploits from our housewarming the other night…

setting up to go down the laundry chute (we used a couch as the anchor)

my housemate lowering herself into the chute (no idea what the downstairs neighbour must have been thinking about the noise we were making)

and she successfully made it to the bottom – quick going once she was actually in the chute.

climbing moose

tis me, wandering up the first of the heat climbs the other weekend (for the comp thingo, yes). damned overhanging walls. the next heat was the blue climb, and then the final was the yellow – all in shot. and one after the other, i was much pumped by the end of things.
