FIRST FBG CHALLENGE WALK OF 2026

 

Sheesh... I have to get up early on a Sunday morning ... to attend the first FBG Challenge walk of the year.

I am going to try and complete the Challenge this year, which will mean going over to Cambridge 2-3 times a week for the next 8 months or so.

It's a personal commitment, and I hope to do it and reclaim my fitness.  And of course, maintain my friendships with the ladies and gents in Cambridge.

So, I'm up early, and heading off to Cambridge in about an hour.  

Catch ya later.

ONWARD...

11.05 am, and what an awesome morning!

Perfect walking weather, not too hot.  And just lovely company.

ABOVE: There was a nice big group of us for the first walk of the year.

A few new faces as well.  Gawd, more names I have to try and remember.  

ABOVE: 'R's sneakers... how amazing are they?  

ABOVE:  It's not often you see three monarch butterflies at once. 

ABOVE: Three of our ladies brought along excess fruit and veges... so I grabbed some pears.  They look very yummy.

ABOVE: Today's walk stats, a slow walk ... but any walk is a good walk.

This afternoon Steve and Lily visited us.

Steve did a couple of jobs for us, and Lily?  Well Miss Lily just entertained us.

She is very cute. 

ABOVE:  Sharing her snacks with Granddad.

ABOVE: Helping her Dad measure up, and get the placement right.

ABOVE:  Measure twice, ONLY drill holes once.  Good motto.

ABOVE:  And there ya go.  The smallest room is completed.  We have a lovely new loo, and a good solid grab rail/paper holder.

All ready for next weekend, when Stew comes home from the hospital.

There's only FOUR more sleeps until Stew has his operation.  He says he's not nervous.  I am though.

But I know his surgeon is really on to it, and is making sure ever base is covered, pre and post surgery. So I just have to chill out eh?

11.05 pm, and I'm good and tired... so hopefully I managed to get to sleep quick tonight.  Sometimes it can take me an hour or more to get to sleep... most annoying.

Catch ya tomorrow.
