Kat, those medical findings were on every news bulletin and in every paper, both on-line and print, the day they came out. I read it while I was sitting at the computer *grin* But yes, I need to get out and walk more. We've been having some evening thunderstorms here and while I don't mind walking in rain (so long as it's not pouring) I draw the line at being out and about in thunder and lightning.
Maggie, much as we would love to move to a little bush block out of town we know at our age that it's not practical - we've left it too long. Himself has a few health issues so being in town will be better for us than being 45 mins drive out of town. We live in Sydney which is a big city (by Ozzie standards - probably not very big by world standards) with its associated big city problems, and we plan to move inland to a town of about 42,000 people, 5-6 hours drive north west of here. It's the town where I was born and lived until I was 23YO, my family moved to the district in the 1870s and have been there ever since. While my head tells me that downsizing is practical one thing I want is a big sewing room, the one I currently have is quite large. I spend a lot of time in it sewing, or reading, my guitars are there (and I am starting to play again - yay!) - it's my refuge for when Himself is watching interminable sport in our one and only TV.
