Down the track, this. Roly looking to drain some water, still going to be a muddy effort even without water. That much water in the rain water tank awesome, that much on the track, makes for interesting driving skills [emoji12]

So this is the only wildlife I have managed to capture and it's dead, not deadly. Looks like the kookaburras may have got it.

A Bluetongue lizard, only young and out at this time of year, leads me to believe the birds got him, because he was too slow.

 

Poor little lizard :( looks like a skink?

Last time I was in Balingup, I walked there from Collie with my uncle.

Woden uses ravens, I use an iphone.

 

 

This is the track to my property, 2km of this, it hasn't been graded for almost 3 years, it us due fir a controlled burn and if I needed an Ambulance..........forget about it. I wonder why I pay Shire rates at times.

These town names.  Do you live in Westeros or Lord of the Rings?

South-west of Western Australia, most of the town names are based upon Nyungar aboriginal words. The suffix -up means water. I lived in the town of Kojonup which was based upon two Nyungar words, Kodja meaning ax and up meaning water. So basically I lived in a town named Axwater. There was a natural spring there (still is and part of a park) that was the basis of the settlement. It was a natural stopping place for those travelling between Perth and Albany.

Shepards Pie for the Lads for dinner, just finished it. I have training tonight and hopefully will get my workout done before I go.

 

Training is Emergency Child Birth. Can't wait, this is one of my least favourite things to watch, practice and listen to :hopelessness: I am hoping they have a new video rather than the one from the early 90's. It's just cringe worthy all round, the kid must be in his 20's by now. Imagine if he turned up as an Oprah "where are they now?" Episode :glee:

Righto, from earlier today:

 

The Cube/Week 6 Explosive Bench Thursday 14.04.2016

 

Warm Up:

Skipping, stretching with bands, all sorts of stuff to do with shoulders and appendages. 1x10@10kg Bus Drivers,

 

Explosive Bench:

1x10@30kg

1x5@40kg

6x2@48.5kg (killed it!)

 

Close Grip Bench:

2x5@51kg (felt really tight with form and loved these today :love_heart:)

 

Bench with pause 1" off chest:

3x6@43.5kg (just awesome)

 

Laying Tricep Extensions:

4x14@7.5kg

 

Front/Side Raises with Band (Black)

3x12@black band (I think it is 7.5kg, need to check that, totally fried up my shoulders.)

 

Kroc Rows:

3x12@12.5kg (really had to work to keep form on these, far too easy to lose control and almost drop the weight on the down)

 

BB Bicep Curls:

3x12@25kg

 

OHP:

3x10@26kg

 

No ABS today as my brother was waiting and we needed to go into town. Right now my shoulders are hot (literally) and my upper back is getting a little tight! All in all I feel really good about this!

 

On other news Roly has fixed my cable machine so I can add seated rows and flies back into my routine :eagerness: !!!!!! He did however have to shorten the cable so Lat Pull Downs are still missing. Nothing we can't work on though, he looked at the now spare bar and thinks he can recycle it into a pull up bar!!! :glee:

 

Family dinner tonight, and Son1 is bringing out baby Boxer puppy and his new tattoo!!!!

My Partner is turning 50 this weekend, he cancelled his party, which I don't understand but think he may have hit a social anxiety wall. His brother was going to come out and spend the weekend, but rang this morning and cancelled. So I have been watching him slide into a depressive mood. 

 

I think me and the Lads will throw him a little party of our own. Time to get to town and get some sparkly decorations!

Yay, finally caught up on your continued awesome! (I finally got internet again, that definitely helps. :P)

 

Hah, I love the thought that we live somewhere mystical and strange like Middle-Earth, when it's just western Australia xD

 

I'm also now super thankful whenever it rains (new water tanks, woo!) but I'm glad my driveway doesn't flood like yours!

Is that just a cool looking tatoo somebody invented or is there some symbolism or meaning relative to it?

Son1 said there some type of meaning to it, a game or something. On his other forearm he has the Valkyrie Wings, which is pretty awesome!

 

We had our impromptu party, cleaned up my shed and put some streamers and balloons up, had a BBQ and cake! Will try and get a couple of photos up tomorrow.
