It's very difficult to move with your lower back taped up...I got in the bath last night and couldn't work out how to sit down, and then couldn't work out how to wash my feet. Taking the tape off before my bath tonight, I missed my soak :( Sleeping was also uncomfortable.

The physio on Thursday actually caused problems rather than fixing my hips. Never had a problem with the aggressive treatments before, but maybe because of the house cleaning and awkward positions things were slightly different this time. The treatment caused muscles in my lower abdomen to spasm (wondered why I was getting these weird twinges around my appendix scar over the weekend) as they tried to support the hip. So he worked on loosening those yesterday, and the tape is supporting me and giving them a rest. Go back Thursday for more work on them and I assume to redo my hips.

My body really needs to be sent back to the manufacturer for a refund.

Delilah, the photogenic skycrane

Skycrane Delilah filling up at Macquarie University to dump on the fire at West Pymble. Apparently she did 6 trips. Really fabulous photos and commentary by my sister.

All taken at our local oval. Helicopters and a shot or two of the awful smoke that had us nervous. Photos and commentary by sister.

( excitement, smoke and dirt )

We've devised a new form of torture. Wrap someone up in elastoplast, leave it on for a day, then rip it off. There was lots of yelping and almost tears as mum took the tape off my back tonight and I have a welt.

It rained tonight! Some heavy showers, and from the radar it looked like the fire area was getting it. So hopefully it will have done most of the rest of the controlling. They may not need to waterbomb tomorrow, and then baby Lara might be able to sleep.

I'm getting the impression that the majority of you aren't interested in the fire stories/photos. I put them up because it's something that is a little more unique to my corner of the world and I thought there might be some novelty factor. Is there any interest in a google earth map of the fire area and where I live?
