Far and Away

@utopia

That sounds wonderful. Took Toby to the beach and did part of the beautiful walking track that winds around the hills above the beach. We didn't go too far but sat and watched the world go by and the waves on the rocks for a while - magic! Enjoy the meditation - nowhere better than in nature quietly contemplating life (or doing nothing at all).

@Shaz51

Yeah much better day today. Think may have got sick from the leaver's dinner - a few kids have also been sick - makes you wonder! Probably a combination of that, a very long long day (which I am not supposed to do) and letting out all the stress! GP doesn't want me to do more than an hour or two of THINGS at a time -can't cope physically. Need to build up some strength but only a little at a time - no rush - will just take time.

How are you doing? Haven't been keeping up with everyone so hope you are ok

It is beautiful @utopia.

Trying to get there at least twice a week because it is so peaceful and seems to have become my HAPPY PLACE. Toby runs up and down the beach and I can just sit and watch.Have even talked to a few people - not for long - quick conversations then I move on so I don't get too anxious. Try to do the track when there aren't many people around - early afternoon seems to be the quietest. Want to buy a tent and set up camp there - but would soon miss the comfort and safety of my home!

.. a beach shelter and a book maybe @Zoe7 I used to like early morning walks along clifftops at friends place years ago .. used to be the only time saw dolphins there,plus no one else around

@TAB

That actually sounds like the perfect day

How are doing?

you could take an esky with sangers etc and water for dog @Zoe7 yeah overall ok,just having had kittens over stuff didnt think warranted it. Had a bad year, will re think it in car tomorrow heading towards parents Day 2..

@TAB

I have a 'go bag' which has all the things in it that a day out with the dog could possibly need. Leave it by the front door (fully stocked) so can grab and go when needed. Might need to add some things for me also. Really sorry that you have had a bad year - plus side - it's nearly over!!! How has the drive been - haven't kept up with all the news - just read little snipets! Really far behind on posts - no chance of catching up so sorry if I've missed something!

Does sound a bit like doomsay prepping LOL. Easy to grab and go when needed to - too hard to make sure I have everything for Toby as well as me when I leave sometimes so just easier to know it's always ready. Can't do cheese and olives but maybe some bikkies and tinned tuna - then I can share with Toby! Bag always has water in it so sorted there. Hope your christmas goes well
