I LOVE this photo... Have you seen it before?? It has done the rounds with those funny emails... maybe it is just a rural joke???
During the 2002 drought a farmer has worked his paddock and written "Fuck the drought" into the paddock.. classic!!! Wonder what he has done this year???
Well.. this morning.. a month before we thought it would happen, we ran out of water!! It is the bloddy start of november and I have no water to Wash clothes, cook, bath my kids or drink for that matter!! It is November!!! Droughts suck! I will have to organise a tanker of treated water to be delivered tomorrow.... shuttering to think how much it will cost, but I need water!!
Have had the busiest weekend!! Kids had swimming in Horsham yesterday, then I had to take photos for the paper.. kids came with.. then a quick trip home to wash the pool smell off us all and dress in warmer clothes for the Drags - Car racing drags that is. The WACK (Wimmera agaisnt cancer in kids) host a drag meeting at the Warracknabal Airport twice a year and it is great!! Kids loved it...
Then today, I went in my first Fun Run in Horsham.. only 5km, but loved it!! Beautiful day and worked on my tennis tan a little more!! Photo to follow.. (I had to cut out a few people from my photo..)
Jack kept the kids up and we all went to sleep this afternoon, that was so nice!! I don't often sleep in the arvo anymore. Before I lost my weight i would sleep EVERY afternoon, like the kids. I had to wean myself! Just waiting for Jack to come back.. he went ot kill a sheep, for the freezer (gross I know...) then a quite night in!
My weigh in at WW was bad!!!!!!!! I am getting so frustrated with myself. I know what I have to do, but always end up putting weight on. I need to lose 2kg!!!!!!! in 4 weeks.. Things have been good since the meeting.. on the right track now!
Anyway.. better go and stack the dishwashing in anticaption of water tomorrow!!! As my friend the farmer stated in that photo... "Fuck the drought !!!!!!!"

So sorry to hear you guys are doing it so tough with the drought! It'll certainly make me think even more about my own water usage in the City. It really is serious and I think the government better start moving faster with helping you guys, even it that means restricting our water more in the City. We don't need to water concrete. Yep...I've seen the council do some very VERY stupid things and the rich areas really don't need those extravagent lawns that they don't even use! I hope you guys get some good fortune your way soon.
I cant imagine having to wait for a delivery of water so I could do laundry.. Not fair Kirsty and I really hope you get some rain. We were lucky enough in Melb to get a full day of it last Thursday.
Well done on the fun run.
praying for some rain, it is needed EVERYWHERE. Driving back from Melbourne we could see how dry and dusty it is everywhere. It is so bad. The countryside is just brown and grey..
Congrats on the fun run. :)
Hi Kirsty, thanks for visiting me! ;) Wow congrats on the fun run, you look great! I went back to your first post and it said you were 81kgs, what are you down to as a lifetime member? Maybe doing a fun run could be one of my goals (I remember HATING them at school!). We had a bit of rain last night, so hopfully you got some too!
Did you get any rain over the weekend? We got some, was thinking of you.

oh dear, that drought sounds awful!! as I type this, its pissing down with rain here and I had been complaining....feel bad now. Praying for some rain for you!
hi Kirsty,
I train at home with basic equipment for weights and cardio.
Mostly I use free weights and the treadmill.
Sue, from idealbodiesonline.com prepares my workout program and nutrition and I follow it as best I can. She organises the exercises for the equipment I have.
I usually do cardio in the morning and weight training in the evening. My boys or Reid spot for me if I am doing heavy work.
I have the advantage of bigger kids than you though. I hope this has been some help.
