What has been going on?
Last week we said goodbye to Jody as she returned to the states.
The weekend was our first without a house guest for quite a while, and it rained, rained, and rained, and it was a long weekend too. Monday the sun came out briefly and we climbed at a crag north of Sydney called Narrabeen, where a bunch of routes have been rebolted and a few more slab routes established. I managed to get insanely pumped due to the cold rock, which was kind of nice and made me feel like I was working.
After a slow week at work trying to get some things synthesised, the next weekend rolled around, starting with a melted cheese eating party at Chris and Altheas place. 6 people, 2kgs of cheese, 6 bottles of wine. Hmmm. I got home and made the tactical error of checking the Australian Research Council website to see if the review comments for my research proposal were in, which they were. I spent the next hour running around the house yipeeing and whooping in delight as they were all pretty good really, and I really didn't know what to expect, these things can be so random. Had trouble sleeping.
Drove to Nowra early Saturday for a mass of great climbing in the yummy sun, although I seem to have lost my head:
We camped in the cold but awoke to 50 red tailed black cockatoos at our private camp, before more rock action on Sunday.
Sunday night we high-tailed it back to Sydney for the premier of Aus versus Brazil. I say high-tailed, but really, we had hours and hours and hours to wait. The game didn't start until 2am. I was pleasantly surpised when the A lister team didn't wipe the floor with us, and look forward to watching us play Croatia at the more reasonable time of 5am on Friday. On an aside, I really am turning into a soccer hooligan. The Alchemists tournament is starting at Sydney University, and I am desperately trying to get a team together...

WORLD CUP YES!!!!!!!!!!! Bad referees who hand out TOO MANY GD RED CARDS, no!!!!!
Oh, and way to look suprememly hot climbing- not sure if it's just that you're supremely hot in general or the rocks... I suspect it's the former.
Oh, and nice work on the comments!
Cheeese! And red wine!! Hoorah for cheese and red wine!
And are you on that evil-ish 17 traverse thing at Thomson's Point? It looks familiar
