I only ask because UWA Rowing are holding their Learn to Row classes from THIS SUNDAY 2nd SEPTEMBER at 7am.

Cost is $150 and you just show up at 7am at the UWA boatshed which is on the corner of Mounts Bay Road (Stirling Hwy) and Hackett Drive… you know, near the fish van that sells “Sexy Salmon Fillets”. Whatever they are.

Here’s some inspiration from this morning…

Blisters and crabs – rowing day 2

Sunrise over Perth

I love rowing.

The getting up isn’t easy.

The cold water that numbs your feet isn’t pleasant.

But the camaraderie, the joy of gliding across a still river, the moment when you are all in sync (and I mean moment) makes up for it all.

It is a true team sport where you absolutely rely on everyone “pulling together”.

And when you get it right it feels fantastic.

I only caught a crab once.

Today I remembered to bring socks and my comfort level skyrocketed.

The UWA Boatshed

After the boats were put away (in the more modern shed next door to the one pictured), we went upstairs to the clubrooms for a cuppa and crumpet.

Crumpets! Oh how I love their buttery goodness.

Downstairs where the boats are, the wood is old and soft, the floorboards wide, the walls have names painted in thick white paint – the 1988 team the last thing you see as you exit the shed and there is the faint smell of rotting fish.

Apparently the smell used to be really bad and everyone thought it was the shed until a member, a professor at UWA, crawled underneath and discovered that rats had been storing blowies under the shed.

I can’t imagine how foul that would have been to clean up but he did it, and placed some rat bait and now the smell is bearable.

Last time I got away lightly and despite sitting on a plane for half a day, had no stiffness or soreness.

Today I think might be different.

We really rowed today. All the way to the Narrows and back.

Dolphins were seen, but not by me sitting in the bow trying to keep in time with everyone in front.

When I got out I had wobbly legs – a sure sign of lactic acid build up.

And I have blisters!

Ouch!

Is it acceptable for a rower to wear gloves?

Christmas in April

If you were new to Perth you might think that these fantastic towering gums are supposed to look like this.

You know, with those spots of bark against the white.

They kind of look like the remnants of bark that has fallen off.

But no.

What you are looking at is hail damage.

Only one side is damaged.

I took this photo so you can see the difference – spotty one side, clear the other.

At night these trees are luminous in the moonlight.

I wonder how long it will be before they gleam, smooth and white, again.

Dirt games

I drove up to Toodyay today to stop in at the archeological dig which is part of the project that we started in York in January.

It was soooo cold. 

Must have been about 15 degrees maybe less.

Arriving on the last day I got to see the full extent of the excavations, and what I love about digs is that they are JUST LIKE Time Team… you know, that show on ABC1… that’s not on anymore…

They had found seven buildings on the 45 acre site including the barracks, holding cells, kitchen and privy, the commissariat and the hospital.

One of the convict era buildings was the barracks which they found under the car park of the Toodyay Shire CEO.

After it was a barracks, it became a schoolroom and they found graphite pencils and slates that would have been used at the time.

Here are some of the effective treatment options cialis properien to reduce arthritis pain and inflammation.

Stress is something which buy generic cialis robertrobb.com makes a person completely depressed. How cool is that?

The building was knocked over and the courthouse, now shire offices were built over the top.

In the mid 1800s the area was a hive of convict activity and this is the first time that those buildings have been excavated.

Needless to say the shire is very excited.

The CEO, who is potentially losing his carport, wants to try and keep them preserved but exposed so that people can appreciate their history.

And I, as an archeological junkie, appreciate that sentiment.

Oh I hope they don’t have to fill them there holes.

They have permission to keep digging for another week and I can’t wait to see what they discover.

I was very flattered to be invited back for a day’s digging.

So I’m looking out my little trowel, my steel capped boots, and my puffy jacket (hey it’s cold), and hopefully I’ll get to spend a weekend day up at Toodyay up to my ears in dirt, glorious dirt!

Dippity and I went down to UWA today to go to an upmarket in the Undercroft.

We had to walk down the main drag to the Guild to get some money out and of course it was a chance for me to remember 25 years ago, my first day at university. 

Ahhhh they were good days…

We walked past the Oak Lawn and watched some medieval knights and ladies doing their hey nonny nonny thang.

We laughed at the AW building.

Awful isn’t it.

*Dippity face plants in reaction to terrible mum joke*

We wandered through that tropical garden in front of the Reid Library.

I love that garden.

It’s so lush.

So we’re wandering through it and the trees just tower over you and Dipp finds this flower.

Surrounded by all that sandstone architecture, by the beautiful gardens she finds a single flower to photograph.

Well… I’m a fan of that macro button as well.

This violet reminds me of something I recently heard – I think it was someone talking about the GFC – one of those people putting together those mortgage packages for big banks to buy – the things that caused this recession.

He said “you know those people who can’t see the wood for the trees… well we couldn’t even see the trees.  All we could see was bark…”

Bark watchers.

I love that phrase.

My Salad Days

Isn’t that how you’re supposed to describe your youth? Last night I went back to Uni to catch up with the Class of 88. It was a great reunion. Casual, relaxed, friendly.  A great number came over from the Eastern States and up from the country and it was lovely to see what toll the years had taken.

Overall I thought we scrubbed up quite well.

More photos…

It was weird to see all those boys who, apart from one or two, were all single while we were at Uni, so staid and married.  Talking fondly about small human units.  It was sweet… just unexpected.  Although I don’t know why I didn’t expect it.

It didn’t stop us kicking on into the wee small hours which I thought was a pretty good effort – especially since I had woken at 5.30am to get down to the (non) start of the the Cottesloe to Rottnest Swim.  Even though the conditions were grim there was still a huge contingent at the beach, standing around in the semi dark like some huge festival event.

While many frustrated competitors may have been angry and disappointed (read the forums on the Rotto Swim Website), it really was the only decision the organisers could take. And it must be said that there were one or two smiling with relief.
