For Winnie because she asked about the Blue Mountains etc in a previous blog. Marg and Janice because they love nature so much, and Emz, for my absence at being a good friend over the weekend when she was having a rough trot. xox
These piccies are of MicroMe at home, sulking while he feeds the birds, as he got in trouble for throwing their dish off the balcony. (Yes, the birds are eating toasted muesli - we haven't any bird seed at present). These are rainbow lorikeets which are fairly common in our area, and quite friendly. We also get a few kookaburras, and we used to have a groovy little grey owl, that was quite tame too, however I think he ate all the vermin and left us.

This is MaxiMe and MicroMe at NannaTerri's place in O'Connell... The back yard and the front yard LOL We have more pictures out back and the historic Fish River - however MicroMe wants to do his own blog about them, and his antics about driving us crazy.

We, (Drew, Matt, MaxiMe and Me), spent the day abseiling and climbing up at the Dam Cliffs, which are in Clarence, near the Zig Zag Railway. Clarence is about the 2nd last station on the Blue Mountains track, just before Lithgow, heading North West out of Sydney on the Bells Line of Road. It is a great place for beginners, or just to practice and muck about if you haven't been climbing much lately (Matt and myself).

  

There is also a great Dam (hence the name) for swimming in, we jump off the cliff in the middle - I think it is about 10metres - maybe less, I am short! Plus it is so cold, it kind of numbs your brain and you have no idea what is going on.
  
We did a bit of abseiling off the rocks and some off a dodgy old crane- which probably isn't recommended, but a heck of a lot of FUN, and they haven't any signs to say not too... LOL

Re: Minti Chill Pill: Getting Down With Nature
Wow weeeee. Oh Jaydee I can sulk tooooooooooooooooooooo, those there Blue Mountains are just wow, such a cool place to play. I feel a sulk coming on, I want to go there, yesterday. Seriously though, what a great place to relax and climb away the stresses of the day to day rountine. Makes our little playground look tame and cold http://www.ukclimbing.com/photos/item.html?crag=256&rockfax=74 . Maybe one day I will be lucky enough to see the Blue Mountains for real. Sigh. Thankyou, Lui, you fair made my day, being stuck in the hospital all day, this has given me a much needed breath of fresh air. Have a great weekend.
Luv,Winnie.xx

Re: Minti Chill Pill: Getting Down With Nature
Nah, I was slack, I didn't even text you when we were in range... Mainly because it was usually when we were in the car, and Drew and MaxiMe make me carsick LOL!
He is smiling now, he is in the living room dancing in his boxer shorts and gumboots to the Wiggles Show. For some reason, whenever they come on, he feels compelled to wear his 'dancing boots'. I have enrolled him in Kinda Dance, so hopefully he will get some groovy moves happening!
I didn't swim that day, because we had to get going to look after MicroMe, and get to the bottlo before our BBQ and all. Plus there were a few kids around, and I don't think their parents would be too keen for them to see us jump - they were daring each other all the time.
Crazy - life is for living - not watching, you know that!

Re: Minti Chill Pill: Getting Down With Nature
Hi
Want to know what was even worse and more embarrasing
I was in the state emergency and it was a training night.
Was supposed to learn how to do it so i could go on search and rescue hahahaha....I'd be such a good rescuer Some of them were running down the cliffs forward.
Needless to say i went to the catering and communication side after that lol.
I don't even like climing on a chair.
Luv Deb
