- Travelled down to Staines by train for my Dad's birthday celebration (happy birthday Dad!) at Lucy and Nigel's house.
- Ate a lovely dinner
- Checked out Lucy and Nigel's fine allotment (felt a tad envious at all their lush veg, including chillis...slobber, slobber...)
- Travelled east to Mile End Climbing Wall for lesson two of my bouldering course. And a jolly useful lesson it was as well. Learnt some very useful techniques, now feel pleasantly tired
- Watched an amazing video clip of Brad Lancaster talking about how he created a beautiful verdant garden in the Arizona desert using permaculture water harvesting techniques. Well worth watching (very short as well) part 1, part 2
- Need to finish reading 'The Moon is a Harsh Mistress' by Robert A. Heinlein. The book is the first on the list of the The Post Apocalyptic Book Club, of which I am a member. I've read about a third so far, so should be able to polish it off on the train too and from work tomorrow.
- So much going on, so much i want to do and act on. This is very good and makes me happy.
- The track below has been playing in my head all day...it really is a great number (though the clip itself is not that hot)

Sadly the title of this post ain't referring to me, sigh...but hey, this is going to be a jolly post with no mention of Peak Oil (dah!)
A weekend of climbing, hurrah! The Monkey Boy and I are heading up to the Castle this morning for a couple of hours of wall stuff. Then we're off to a kids/parents party, staying the night finally at Sam & Anna's.
Sunday sees me popping off to Mile End to start my three week bouldering course, which I'm hoping will finally get me over my grade 4 plateau.
Have to stop soon, Monkey Boy wants to get on to play games.
Just to leave off on the right cheerful note, here is a video clip of Generation X playing 'Wild Youth' in 1977, fab.

Check out this video clip of Harry Black, my six and a half year old son, on the wall at Kelsey Kerridge.
The boy is going to go far! I love the somersault at the end...
