Barney Mckenna is dead
The banjo player and last living member of the Dubliners died at the start of the month at age 72.
I’m a little ashamed I only learnt this today given he died on the 4th.
I’m also saddened I only discovered the Dubliner’s music in the last year of his life.
It’s the first music I have truly loved and found beautiful, there’s little more I can say other than...
Climbing (also composed on the train)
So I watched a climbing film called first ascent on the train which essentially follows a load of utter bad asses as they become the first to climb various routes. It got me so psyched for climbing. So now I have a few targets, I want to crack them before the summer at the Sports park
Go back and do “that purple one” and for it to feel like less of a struggle
Nail that 6c blue comp route, I’ve...
I spent the last few days at Olivia's
And I wrote this on the train
I wouldn’t advise reading on if you are currently single and depressed by that fact.

I composed this post on the train , train travel tends to make me more lyrical and deep thinking. I was on the way home from Olivia’s and returning home for the first time in about 2 months.
I spent 3 days at Olivia’s, it was really great. Sunday we went into...

Quotes

“My memory is slightly failing me, mostly because Mr Nash’s quote about how his relaxed belay position is necessary to protect certain man parts, has more or less pushed everything else out”
Where I was belaying I was laying back leaning on...

If you're ever having problems , or stress
My advice is to go and sit outside on a nice evening, in the darkest quietest spot you can find. And look up at the stars, The universe is the most spectacular thing in existance and you can see a panorama of it from the average park bench.
Let your mind grapple with thoughts of infinity , life beyond our planet , expansion of the universe , and then just how small you are in comparison to all of...
