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.

  • Morning all. Thought I'd pop on and see what's been occurring. Still lots of activity. Take it easy though  ... don't overdo it. 

    Yesterday's coastal walk. 

    Have a good day x

  •  Ooo!that’s very atmospheric !!

    I,too,am painting….But only one side of a door.It is going to be Heather orchid and have found a grey which goes nicely to use on the surrounds.(another day!)

    Wnating Fand B but unable to afford…..but there are lovely colours in other makes if you look,or I had them made up at B and Q.

    I finished my letrozol the other day…as my Oncologist said I could,I have been on it for 5 years now,and have had several unpleasant side-effects,and am now just waiting to see if they disappear,or whether they are “just me”!

    I do have a mammogram soon which she wanted me to stay on it until…but will think again after results of mammo…which I have ordered a Volunteer Driver for…I had forgotten you could do that…but I did request that we both wear masks.(am still shielding),and still more often than not,sit in the back.

    I don’t care what people think.They don’t blink an eye ,and I am glad to say,there are more people still wearing masks in crowded parts of town outside too.

    Have had a picture made for myself and friend who were both confirmed on Sunday.We were all “ladies of a certain age”and it was a lovely service.I noticed that after a lot said they wanted to kneel but were afraid they wouldn’t get up again,that most of us did.xxx

  • congratulations ( hope I have got this right) on your confirmation. I am glad your faith brings happiness to your life. I have been absent from church since covid, as I would have to isolate if anyone there tested positive and I don't want to miss work. Also my grandson plays tennis Tennis o  Sunday mornings and I can sit outdoors with my flask and croissant and watch him. Hope God understands xxx

    Also good on you for ditching the Letrozole. I keep taking the odd half one, ridiculous I know xxx

  • Thankyou,lovely ….my friend P who was confirmed with me was in the same position as she is a teacher.I think God completely understands….

    I wonder what little animals you are currently looking after?

    I have been to the Great Yorkshire show today and am in love with sheep Sheep
