Embarrassing yet funny...

I'm still getting used to the comments about being brave / inspirational and all that, because in my honest opinion, I'm just doing what has to be done...I really can't say I'm going out of my way to do anything differently to anybody else! 

I guess what embarrassed me so much was the getting singled out, but I know they meant well...I doubt they would have clapped and all that if they had seen that most of my "walk" was either me sitting in the shade or taking photos!!

So far in my experience I haven't been singled out really - I hate covering my head at all, so people look, but then they just go about their business. I haven't had any nasty or inappropriate comments (yet. Fingers crossed!) I'm going to visit my grandmother next week in her retirement village in a small town in NSW, that will be an adventure, she will be fine, but her neighbours are all gossipping little old biddies who I daresay will be highly inappropriate without meaning to be!! They're all from a different time, where if you got cancer, that's it, you died. My job to convince them otherwise! 

I've had a couple of funny comments from kids - one said I could be Dr. Evil's wife (bad guy out of Austin Powers movie, who's also bald :-P )  and another stated that my head would make a great cricket ball...lol...to which I replied no, it's not the right colour to be a cricket ball...that got him thinking! He was about 5 y/o. 

Anyways, it gave me a laugh but made me feel about an inch tall...I'll guess I'll get used to it over time! I'm only half way through so I'm sure there'll be a few more "moments"!
