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.

  • Sun scream sounds so funny, ! Makes me remember son’s description of windscreen wipers, ‘wimscreamers’! 

    Great pics, all! Too hot to walk today plus I’m isolating  just in case (sore throat yesterday and feeling like I may have a slight cold today but negative so far) but I have picked loads of fruit and begun to make loganberry jelly!

  • Love the sunscream and wimscreamers! Sorry you’re under the weather  and it’s such a bind with the worry of Covid on top. Hope you continue negative and it’s just a pesky summer cold. You’re still busy though! Loganberry jelly sounds delicious. 

    Haven’t walked loads in this heat either, so my photos are from earlier in the week, moorhen plus chick, first on the lily pads then on grass. Love to all, HFxx

  • I'm hiding away from the sun today (way too hot for me Fire) whilst preparing for surgery tomorrow.

    Does anyone grow tomato plants? I decided to try this year but they are really struggling, not sure if I've watered them too much/not enough or I just don't have green fingers! My mum usually has a few plants but she wasn't up to it this year so thought I would try.

    Enjoy the rest of your day. 

  • Yes I’m growing tomatoes, first  trusses are all set well, they do need loads of water, though.

  • Plenty of water and some Tomorite works for me. Good luck with the surgery.

  • I was a little worried about over watering, maybe not enough specially with the hot weather we've had!! Fingers crossed I can bring them back! Thanks Moomy.

    I thought a little water/feed & they would thrive but sadly not much to my mum's amusement. Thanks pensionerp

  • Hi  hope op went / goes well . Re Watering tomatoes I was told they need plenty of water but at the roots trying to keep leaves dry . Also told don’t splash and dash Joy  but water along row then go back to beginning so water goes deep ,because watering at base can cause splash up I trim lower leaves then less chance of damage . Best of luck
