How’m I sposed to scroll, hold my coffee and pat the dog simultaneously

Just another crimpy boulder with a scary-arse top. Second try! Nice flags required too #climbing

Rather liked this overhung crimpy boulder requiring the spider hand crawl πŸ§—β€β™€οΈ #climb #climbing

Current non fic reading. It’s really good so far. And some books for teens with disabilities, too.

Romance

New hair, new eyebrows, 25 year old tongue piercing 🀣 Wow it’s old enough to have a family of its own

Australian election coming soon, so, here's a vid about it.

Spewing that NYT Wordle stats now include the archive! My score was 100% yesterday, but because I cared less about the archive I’d start with random words and flunk some, so now it’s gone down to 98% 😭

Claudia, Queen of Dogs, escaped from slavery and imprisonment six and a half years ago to live the life she deserves. Named after the super model Claudia Schiffer by the pet rescue vet.

Supporting my son Rohan to do a 10k run in May. We're raising funds for Murrup, an Aboriginal Community Org supporting education. Chip in if you want to & can. We chose this org because we get that inclusive education is the bomb. gc30mainbeach25.grassrootz.com/murrup/rohan

Stoked to get my first ever bat-hang boulder start, & go on to finish this black 5 (first ever πŸ¦‡!!). I hear people being hard on themselves (β€œI’m not good…”) Don’t do that. Achieving new skills feels good but it’s just one part of climbing. Be kind to yourself, move, get stronger & love it. πŸ˜ŠπŸŒˆπŸ‰πŸ₯•πŸ’•

Who wants to finish their novel and get it out in the world this year?

Ham salad with Japanese sesame dressing, eaten with chopsticks because it’s more fun

Have you had a worst year ever? Mine was when I was nine. Seriously. Crazy hey, but 1986 sucked.

Finally, a vet understands what cats want.

Wordle 1,335 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Nice Wordle today.

Some socks fight with their partner sock in a duel that leads to one sock being expunged from the kingdom ie. house. It’s the only rational explanation for why I have a whole fucking basket of single socks with no pair. Why can’t socks just *get along*? What do they even fight about ffs.

I bike rode 5ks each way today after dropping off and before picking up my car. It’s so much cooler in the shade of big trees. Big trees are so cool. Literally.

Slow cooked Mexican is going to be yummy. What’s in it? Chicken, onion, capsicum, Mexican slice mix, canned bears and tomatoes, πŸ… celery and garlic, salt, sugar…

Option A: Get ready to take my car in for fixing. Option B: Drink coffee on the lounge.

A surprisingly fun kilter climb. Friday Arvo by PJP, V3. #climbing #kilter

Going into this week with our community in mind πŸ’—πŸ’— maybe the world isn’t ending and small acts of kindness and supporting resiliency through local action is the only real way to create meaningful change? maybe we can try together?

Part of my morning routine now is checking for asteroid updates. I kinda hope it could unite people, if it becomes a real danger. Like, let’s all work together to sort it out.

Sunday views over the trees etc. Fractal Pterodactyl was a nice climb with one really hard move… a dead point to a sharp slopery-jug (with a hidden crimp). I think I want to try it on lead… maybe another TR or two first. TR is fun. #australia #outdoor #climbing
