#unioncanal — Public Fediverse posts

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

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!

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.

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.

Nice stroll through Harrison Park and along the canal.

Paused to rest near the old boathouse, to pace myself and enjoy my book, but that cold wind was *not* conducive to outdoor reading for more than a few chapters.

Since our Kelpies outing was foiled, I found myself home too early on such a nice day, so dump my bag, then off for a stroll.

Now some reading by the old boathouse, to the sound of birds singing in the trees (sound up)
