Pulling the toys out of retirement

Sean and I are about to go indoor climbing this morning. This is going to be really scary as I haven't climbed for about 5 years. It was hard enough climbing the ladder into the roof to find my climbing gear, which was buried away amongst the other semi-retired toys. Toys that include...

- Climbing gear
- Camping gear
- Hiking gear
- Tennis rackets
- Squash rackets
- Kath's ski boots
- Bike helmet

... to name a few.

James is starting express interest in going camping. The two of us were going to go camping down at the farm in a couple of weekends, but with only a couple of flying weekends left before the Nationals, that has had to be put on hold.

Aunty Monkey - A new social network

I am in the process of setting up a new ballooning focused social network (kinda like a MySpace for balloonists).

This means that this blog will now become more personal focused and all my ballooning banter will be at http://www.auntymonkey.com.
