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.

  • Awww  cant see your pics on the iPad will try and look later on the desk top,,

  • I too kept getting the ‘file too large’ with phone and iPad, not sure why, maybe Admin or developers have changed settings?

  • Me too - it must be a tech glitch. I have sent an email to report it (hopefully) xxx

    Hi     

    I had this happen yesterday - I'm not sure if the maximum filesize has been reduced ?

    It used to be 1meg but the on screen message I got was "File is over 500kb" so I reduced it to just below that and it posted OK.

    Worth a try perhaps ?

    Hi Violetsniff

    I agree with others. This was so selfish. Even if she didn’t know it was yours, it is a shared garden but she certainly wasn’t sharing. I agree one gets more upset than normal at the moment. Does she know you are being treated? I expect you do not want to have a bad relationship with her but I’d consider telling her if not, as well as mentioning that it was your rose, planted to cheer yourself up. 


    I hope you can find another way to cheer up. 


    Best wishes

  • Hi George, 

    The site happily used to take typical iPhone/iPad photos, so the file size must have been changed overnight. 

    Bad enough you have to swap editors and back again! 

    Putting me off trying tbh! Can’t be bothered to churn up laptop to try to change everything and then keep trying! 

    Hugs xxx

  • Im not sure I know how to reduce the size of photos, I will have to investigate.  If they have changed it, it would have been courteous to let people know and put some hints and tips on reducing the size of photos. And as moomy says, not so easy to do I presume on phones/tablets.  xxx

    Hi all. I’m not going to attempt to post a pic given your experiences today!

    Eddiboy, the garlic I just put the leaves straight into the pan then is all got blitzed anyway. I also put some in a lentil dall just chopped it up a bit then it wilted like a spinach would. It’s a great colour, doesn’t taste too strong.

    Good to hear of all your accomplishments today, walking, running, cycling. Especially in this heat. I’m feeling pleased as I did a bit of yoga earlier, for my mind and soul. Also planted some seeds in the veg bed and put tomato and cucumber seedlings in the greenhouse. 

    So I’ll be down there first thing tomorrow in my pj’s to check on them!

    i hope everyone has had some benefit from the weekend and the weather, even if you could only get out a little bit.
