Lose 10 kilos (read all 8 entries…)
This goal is kicked! 1 week ago

I’ve done it, hit the magical 10 kilo mark. It’s taken over 12 months, but the last 6 months were where it came off the easiest.

I think the big kicker in the last few months has been no alcohol. Surprising how much weight it puts on.

I have been suffering from morning sickness and could probably attribute a kilo to it, but I have still been eating well so not sure how much effect this would have – in fact I’m eating more than usual!

get a rainwater tank
Best thing we ever did! 2 weeks ago

At the moment it’s not plumbed in to the house for things like toilet flushing, but I do have it hooked up to the washing machine. Our clothes are lovely after being washed in rainwater and I’m using much less laundry detergent. The little water consumption graph on our rates notice is also looking much healthier now that the washing machine’s not sucking down all that water from the mains.

We also use it was washing the car, washing the dog, all that outdoor cleaning type of thing. The gray water from the washing machine also helps to water the garden.

We’re thinking of eventually putting a second tank in at the front of the house that can be plumbed in for the toilet. There’s still a huge amount of roof area that we’re not currently harvesting water from.

read one book a month for 12 months (read all 3 entries…)
Untitled 2 weeks ago

My books for May were the first two in the Aldabreshin Compass by Juliet E.Mckenna – Southern Fire and Northern Storm.

My book for June was the second One Book One Brisbane anthology, plus a few others.

I’m finding that my reading has really increased in recent months as I’m putting in 3 hours a day on public transport and using my library membership a lot more.
