Workin' hard for the money

Work has been flat out lately, I've definitely earned my keep there! I've found solace in the gym to deal with the stress & it's been really good for me health wise. I signed my life away and have been going regularly with a 3.9kg loss in the last week!! It's funny how having a gym buddy keeps the motivation up :)

4WD fun in the rain :)

Picture this...Its cold and wet outside, You have been sick all week and still aren't feeling great. Its been pouring rain all night and the radio keeps reading flood warnings out and urging people to stay safe indoors, your hubby has to go to town. What do you do?????

Well you ask him to take the 4wD and go with him armed with your camera of course!!! Well at least this is what I did LOL!

Luke had to go into town so I did the exact above, and it was awesome fun :) First we went into town to do the jobs he had to do, but then we went 4WDing!! We headed down to Thompsons Beach, and instead of staying on the sealed road like all normal people were doing, We went on the bush track. Water laying everywhere from the rain over the past month, and the Murray River is raging! There is supposed to be a sandy beach there (hence the name Thompson's Beach) but its all under water too. I haven't seen floods like this before and so I was fascinated, I got out of the car and went snap happy. (and ended up with very wet feet!) From there we went back through town and filled up with fuel and headed home, slowing so that I could take pics of the neighbours flooded paddocks.

We drove past the house and went into Katty, not much happening there so we went down the dirt section of Chapel Rd, and started slip sliding around - so fun!!!!!! I cant get over how fast the creek is running also, Theres white wash on the rocks. I don't think Luke was quite ready to go home yet, so we went driving down a random dirt back track at the back of Katty, that we have never been down before, and preceeded to slip slide some more before hubby decided he best get out and lock the hubs in so we could use 4WD if we needed to...!! I got a couple of photos of the creek and then it was home time.

I cant wait until a few weeks time when we have new rims and proper mud tyres! Imagine the fun we can have in the rain then!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll leave you with some photos of our journey now...

Until next time.....

There's supposed to be a boat ramp there...And the beach is under water...This is what I had to contend with when walking around...
