One of our "first dates" that Chris took me on was a walkies up to Square Rock in the Namadgi National Park. Beautiful walk. So when he wanted to go for a "shortish" walk on Sunday, I suggested we go back there.

I managed to get there a whole lot easier than this time ten months ago =) - I may not look like it, but I have actually managed to increase my fitness levels somewhat. Very happy!

So it seems that when we go here together we have a habit of losing (or attempting to lose) something. Last time there was a strong and very sudden wind that carried off an almost empty water bottle (which Chris still keeps reminding me that I owe him a water bottle for!! Only joking of course). This time my iPod decided to have a go at jumping. It managed to fall in between two rather large rocks in a nice little unreachable (by hand) crevasse. Lucky Chris bought his new walking poles! He was able to move the iPod to an area where it was able to be grabbed.

My iPod is fine. The cover protected it perfectly! However, the cover isn't so fine - managed to really scratch up the screen protector. New ones on order!

Apart from that, we had a really nice walk. Gorgeous scenery, very nice bird-life - crimson rosellas, some strange kind of green parrotty thing, little finches.

We had a chat with a lovely older couple on the way back down. They got back to the car park around the same time as us. We watched them take off in a white subaru wagon. On the way home we caught up with them as they were travelling at about 30km below the speed limit. I waited for a safe area to pass and then started overtaking.

One of the things I hate most on the roads is people who drive REALLY slowly, then won't let you overtake. Like these people. Travelling at 70km/h in a 100km/h zone, yet as soon as I made an attempt to pass they floored it! After a few choice swear words directed at the driver, I managed to get past anyways just as another car came fanging around the corner towards us.

Do people actually realise how dangerous they are when they're acting like complete morons? Added to my theory that I had made some really incorrect generalisations about the average road moron after seeing some really dangerous driving practices from older generations around Canberra - and not the ones who are too old (or suffering from afflictions generally associated with age that prevent safe driving practices) to be driving safely. This group is late-fifty-ish and acting out of pure stupidity.
