I packed away all my climbing gear yesterday as I doubt I'll get to use it for quite some time.
SADFACE.

Goodbye, 5.10s. Goodbye, liquid chalk. Goodbye, Black Diamond Alpine Bod harness that should have been replaced about 5 years ago.

Sniff.

Climb with the babby in one of those babygrabbers on your chest!

I'm usually the one shitting myself on the final clip.

Ooh you know all the proper names and stuff. I used to teach kids how to do it and can't remember for the life of me what most of it is called now.

Aye, I went through a phase where I was climbing indoors two or three times a week
and outdoors every other weekend.

That lasted a couple of years then I split up with my climbing partner and didn't trust him at the pointy end of the rope.

See! We should totally climb together even though we are miles and miles apart.

I think this is a plan
Especially as I now have absolutely no nerve left whatsoever!
I went mountain biking on Sunday with PJM and the nuggets along part of the North Downs Way - had to get off and walk along some singletrack because I was scared I'd fall off.
No fucking nerve at all anymore.

Maybe I should take up something more restful.

Extreme knitting.

I'd be afraid of cutting off blood supply to my fingers
I always used to do that when my granny taught me to knit.

And there's the needles too - I could poke them in someone's eyes (on purpose).
I'll just be the gibbering wreck in the corner, okay?

HELLO THERE.

HELLO
Shame we never chatted on Friday. I think you look like Albrecht Durer.

Without the hat, obviously.

I like those paintings you can get down Covent Garden, with the planets and the wolves and stuff like that, which glow in neon light.

Are they as good as the ones that you get in Indian restaurants?
You know, the ones that are lit up from within and have waterfalls that move. Are the wolves as good as that?

Nothing can beat moving waterfalls in a picture.
FACT.

It's close, but not quite as good.
But if you put the neon painting behind a fish tank, then you've got a winner.

Especially if you've got neon tetras
or whatever those little darty fishes are called.
