On Our Walks
A while back there was a lovely thread of sunrises that the early risers among us posted. I loved it, so I thought I'd broaden it to a thread for all the lovely sights we see as we do our slow staggers through chemo, or those walks we take after active treatment has finished and we're trying to get our strength and fitness back.
In Melbourne today the weather was sunny, still and mild; perfect for a walk. I have followed my GP to a small town in the Yarra Valley (a good GP is worth the 30 minute drive I reckon), and right outside her surgery is the start of a beautifully laid out walking track. It's 7kms long and I've been keen to explore it. So today I walked halfway along it and back. At over 7kms it was the longest walk I've done since the day before chemo!

And finally proof that no matter how different out cultures are, (many but not necessarily all!) men are bored to sleep while their wives are shopping! Taken in a divine homewares shop called Good Earth India: - Dare I say it, @kmakm ..... WHY??
It is a man made side effect, it should be able to be fixed (like the men & their prostate Hormone aches & pains!) How long til women are included in the 'side effects' test trial? grrrr - So annoying but we just have to suck it up. :#
