All for a Good Woman

"How's your training going?"... "Why haven't you posted anything on your blog?"... "If I were you I'd climb every day, why don't you get out and do more?" I haven't been very communicative recently as I've been having an illicit affair with A Good Woman Called Mari. She's proving to be a bit of an ice-maiden.

I've gotten to second base. Third base is still proving difficult to steal, but I've got my hand on the prise a couple of times. However I've yet to mount the final push for fourth. Why am I bothering? She's above my class, but it makes the game that much sweeter. Unfortunately I'm still a punter as her grade was done by the French in the 50's, and she's a bit tired out. So what training have I been doing for this? Dave Macleod cleared snow for his warm-up on Echo Wall. Another good warm-up is clearing rocks from the base of your problem.

It also makes for a soft sandy landing when she spurns your moves. With any affair you have to remember to enjoy the chase and the romance...
