Union Canal on a rather dreich, grey, damp evening stroll home. First day doing full hours instead of a bit shorter at the bookshop.
Very tired but happy I managed it, another step to slowly reclaiming my life from this wretched illness.

This lady was last by a country mile at the Raft Race, but she was having fun, huge smiles & cheered on by the crowd to finish

Singer by the Leamington Lift Bridge was entertaining us between races. At one point he sang Scottish kid's song, "ye cannae shove yer granny off the bus", then repeated it, but in the style of Oasis!
I don't even like Oasis much, but that was cool and fun!

Harrison Park this evening. I was using the big zoom on the main camera to take close-ups of the gargoyles on the church tower earlier.

Union Canal at #Fountainbridge Green this evening. Again very mixed skies, from patches of blue, to white clouds, to battleship grey.

Grey, wet, dreich evening by the Union Canal, on the way home. Managed a good chunk of the day at the bookshop, but quite tired now.
Glad I got in though, as I can't tomorrow: hospital & oncologist then. Better all be good news or I'll scream...

Still very fatigued, so again only a short way to the old boathouse, sit below the leafy boughs of an old tree, and read for a while.
Could do without the electric sparks on abused nervous system & sudden cramps in hands, though, chemo side effects, which are less than conducive to holding my book...

The Water Witch, emerging from the bridge by the old boathouse at Harrison Park. Of course I waved!

Another self portrait with book, by the old boathouse on the Union Canal, this time The Red Sacrament by Sara Hinkley.
About as far as I could walk today, totally fatigued from the vile chemo yesterday. Hour reading under a tree, enjoying the breeze and birdsong, to recharge enough to walk home. Still good to get out for a while.

The bus back from the hospital dropped me close to Harrison Park. I'm very tired, rather sore & should probably go home & nap, but it's so nice outside, & I want some time under a shady tree, listening to birdsong. Then home.

Been struggling again today, feels like it's taking longer after each chemo to try & bounce back.
Heavy, tired, cotton wool in the head feeling, didn't get far, just a short stroll by the old boathouse & sit by the water to get outside for a while.

Evening reflections on the Union Canal, the waters in shadow from the tall trees, but the Neo-Gothic red stone tower of Polwarth Parish Church still basking in the sunlight of a summer solstice evening, perfectly reflected in the waters.
Even at 8pm the sunlight still felt warm on my skin...

Lovely afternoon with dear chum, enjoying the suddenly nice weather & the canal festival.
Afterwards, we tried a relatively new café by the Canal. Chocolate hazelnut brownie, absolutely yummykins, blueberry lemonade mocktail, also delicious.

After threatening more showers, the evening was actually rather beautiful, so I went for a second stroll, along the canal at Harrison Park. Found a bench and sat under a tree in lovely light to read my book, while the breeze whispered in the leaves above (I love that sound).
