Arapiles View From Tent

I’m back home now, after my two month summer climbing holiday taking in the best Australia has to offer. Starting out in the Blue Mountains in a house with QUT Cliffhangers, then continuing on camping at numerous places before ending up at Arapiles. Australia’s climbing ‘Mecca’.

It’s actually been a week and a half since I’ve been home, not a lot to report.

Another Year, Another Stupid Horsey Tradition

The lunch and sweeps organised at work today for the Melbourne Cup were too much effort, so I’m now home for lunch. I’m not going to watch the race here either, thanks to an allergic reaction to the advertisement for ‘Dancing with the Stars‘, and then the painfully inane statistics being spouted by Bruce McAvaney.

Instead I’ll sit here enjoying my pasta lunch listening to the tuneful melodies of The Shin’s latest album.
