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:
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.
I am everso sorry am going off-piste again from original title of this thread....sorry sorry sorry Leolady56Well,during the night,when I couldn’t sleep,((again!),..I had one of my brain storms...I came up with a little story,hope nobody gets offended...but here goes....(see how many ID names you can find....)
Violetsniff was sniffing along the ground,one night when she came across an earwig o.”Hi o earwig,can’t you sleep either??”
”No,”said earwig o,”Dreamthief came and took all my sleep away!!”
”well,”said Violetsniff,,”have 2xAnne cc’s of this medicine and see if it helps...by the way,have you seen A Shimmering Unicorn???”
”Have you been on those mazza mushrooms again,Violetsniff?”earwig o said crossly.
They looked up at the sky.There was the North ronstar shining brighter than any others....and a little ali owl hooted somewhere in the distance....x

Takes a lot to offend me ....... And the threads develop for the needs of those posting so .....
I have just managed a good half hour walk. Needed to drop my car off for new brakes - ouch that is going to hit the pension pot later. Then walked along in the cool of the morning for 30 mins then hubby scooped me up. Thank goodness the next part of the walk was a very steep hill in the Chilterns. Phew. I could have been picking blackberries there were so many on the bushes. I equate those to September October not July. This hot weather has a lot to answer for. And we will be needing to feed the birds more as the bushes will be empty of fruits!!! Mmmmmm
Now sat recuperating

Life is like a boxing match, defeat is declared not when you fall ..... But when you refuse to stand up again ....... So, I get knocked down but I get up again. x
My walks today were round Primark, M&S and Costco, not that inspiring but did get a pretty frock from M&S, and some Manuka honey (on special offer) at Costco; oh and some plain white tees at Primark!
Back home to cool down in the garden (we’ve an Olive tree which gives us shade!)
