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:

Post when you have walked.
Post how many minutes you walked for.
Post how you felt before, during or after. Or not at all.
Post pictures from your walk, but ones that do not point to where you live.
Post inspirational quotes, thoughts or comments.
A simple like of people’s efforts is fine. No need to write an essay unless you feel the need.
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.

Evening everyone, I hope it has been a good day wherever and however you are.

My Mindfulness mantra for today is: Enjoy doing any tasks or jobs more mindfully today. I’m not keen on tasks at the best of times, especially in this heat but I did have to clean the chickens out earlier. I left it till this evening so it was cooler, it’s not a pleasant job but very satisfying and it gives them a chance to run about in the garden for an hour or so which is good. I took my time and was mindful about it, it is a better way to be if you can when you’re not rushing around.

They are ex battery we have had them about 6 weeks now and they are doing well, all improving. I hope the pic uploads it is Sidney who was in the worst condition, she finally has some new feathers coming through, bless her.

Looks so inviting Flossie, want to jump in that sea! Well done for walking in the heat xx

Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!

What a lovely lot of summer activities everyone is up to - how lucky we are to be having this lovely weather (ssshhh - not too loud or it will run away)

Flossie25 - the beach looks beautiful - quite jealous!

Violetsniff - no idea where it is but looks like it is about to fall down - love the look of that decade - so stylish!

Well, I shall be heading down to Devon next week to see family so will hopefully be able to post some more interesting pics but for now - Millwall docks (if it loads properly) - who knew it could look so lovely! I was dragonboat racing again - it's quite tough and I have a lot to learn. I'm exhausted but it was lovely being out on the water!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
