Well. Welcome to this thread.

You may be surprised why it is here or happy it is here. Then again: ‘You have got to be joking! Do you know what is wrong with me?’ may be your response.

This all began on the Extreme Fatigue thread. On there several people wanted and needed inspiration/incentive to get out and walk. Many people see the benefits of it in their life and to help on this; mad journey, train ride, rollercoaster ride and other positively rude words journey called Breast Cancer.

It is not a thread created to make anyone feel less than they do at present. It is not a thread that will set people against one another. Being competitive with yourself or a simple challenge to yourself is the point, but not a race against others is a key premis.

The idea is that you can do any of these or none:

  1. Post when you have walked.
  2. Post how many minutes you walked for.
  3. Post how you felt before, during or after. Or not at all.
  4. Post pictures from your walk, but ones that do not point to where you live.
  5. Post inspirational quotes, thoughts or comments.
  6. A simple like of people’s efforts is fine. No need to write an essay unless you feel the need.
  7. On a safety note. Do tell friends, family or the thread when you leave and return safely. Be aware of your personal safety at all times.

 

Well here goes.

Either it will grow and blossom, with lots of lovely people benefiting. Or I will have egg all over my face – not for the first time in my chequered life and career.

Leolady – may be adding in the odd gallop to my walks.

PS if you don't like us don't be cruel.

    Zonked seals

    Zany houses

    From my walk today! 

  • Thankyou you do notice things about peoplexx

    excellent “zany houses,”there are definately some brilliant thinkers out there !!

    I saw a lovely vid of a swan dance on fb where the female was returned to her mate,so lovely.

    well my Zoom meeting this morning was Book club and I really enjoyed it.It is hard though not to speak over people or visa versa so we are looking at having a “pip”to help!

    Tonight is Lent Course which is fine when we go into “rooms” of ,say,5 people ,but I find a bit intimidating when there are 49 people shared on two pages I think.A lot of them are ex-teachers and professionals ....I go a bit quiet then!

    Anyway...after that I will possibly have an early night and some zzzzzzz’s.xxx

    Oh...just to mention also,the Zillions the Government are spending ...to help us out of COVID....aghhh....anyway ...have a nice evening all xx

  • We will be paying for the Zillions of spending for years and years and Zillions of years, 

    Cynical me? Answers on a postcard......
