This is a photo of Groover at the top of the overbridge that we walk on during our weekend’s walk. He nearly always beats me to the top. These days I find it hard to find the time to exercise. Yes I know it’s an excuse. Yes I know that if I really prioritised properly [...]

Remember me telling you about this singing group? I go past them on my walk every Saturday. They meet around 9am outside The Blue Duck (this is the cafe in front of which Ken Crew was killed by a shark – remember that?) Well today instead of power walking past them (*snorts* at thought of [...]
It’s horrible news. It takes you out of your comfort zone. Your easy relationship of the past has gone. Suddenly all the rules have changed. Your friend could be dying. Suddenly you don’t know what to say. Big C is in the room. But have the rules changed? Has your relationship altered? Does your [...]
Since November 2006 I have carefully avoided my former gym, across the road from work in East Perth. I had been a member there longer than any other gym I’ve been a member of. I used to find it quite convenient to pop out during lunchtime for a quick half hour workout. But then I [...]
I’ve been pretty good this weekend. Yesterday I spent five hours weeding in the garden. It was long overdue – thigh high thistles – and it took me ages to clear just a small section of my garden. I figured that counted as exercise. Then, this morning Groover and I went for an 8 kilometre [...]
How did you sleep last night? If you woke up with a nightmare it might be worth making sure there are no stinky smells near where you sleep. Experts have discovered that when you smell something pleasant, like roses, you have “positive” dreams. But if you smell something yucky, like rotting eggs, you tend to have “negative” dreams. My [...]
There’s a real “Wallace” moment at the end of this video. I’ve spent more than $700 and we haven’t even seen metalwork yet. Hopefully I’ll get some back on insurance. I’m in almost as much pain as he is.
Here’s mine: Get up and join group for Jacob’s Ladder experience – do JL 4 times and run up and down Mount St Hill twice. Completed. Stand in pool for 20 minutes to help my aching legs (apparently it’s what you do). Done. Eat breakfast, fruit salad. Done. Blog. Nearly complete. Get hair dyed, temporary [...]
One of my must reads is Three Ring Circus. Tiff writes about her family of 7 kids, including little Ivy who is struggling at the moment. Reading her struggles makes me grateful every day for the health for my two. (touchwood) The thing is, Ivy needs a particular drug to help her, and approval [...]
Don’t worry. This won’t be a long post about how painful my ten days of intense fitness training are proving, or how pathetic I looked at the top of the DNA tower in Kings Park after the eighth time. No. I simply want to share with you two quotes and ask you which you’d find [...]
