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.
Today I had an unexpected opportunity to drive over Ashdown Forest (Winnie the Pooh country). I grew up near there and have spent many hours and days with friends, family or on my own walking. I realised how much I miss it. I only live 45 mins away now but don’t have much cause to be over there. I went to a special location, the bench in this picture is dedicated to my Dad who died nearly 21 years ago from lung and bone cancer. I had a good chat with him and cried quite a bit (in a nice way). There was no one else around and it was very calm and peaceful. A special moment.
i think I will try and get over there more often.
Hi
Shame about the op being cancelled. Won’t be long before you can flex those fingers again .
The posh meal sounds delicious ...all a bit Greek for me 
my taste buds coming back but mouth still a bit sensitive . So restaurant spices a bit too hot for me.
I can confirm that sorting out wardrobes really does help sort the head out . Took me a while after retiring for business suits to disappear don’t know when I thought I was going to wear them again .
Second big clear out was 2days before mastectomy when putting button thru tops at front .
Think I might be due another one . As well as charity donations I fill bags with things that are well worn and sell to clothes recycler then can either spend on me or donate money .
Must admit I think they have got it so right on cold feet you end up crying with Faye Ripley.
Ive been good and had conversation mainly because people were telling me how I must be feeling so much better now treatment finished !
Err no ! Still on three weekly treadmill thanks. Plus we need to adjust to the new us .
Go ahead and fill that wardrobe with new stuff you need for your summer travels in the van . Oh ! And keep talking .
