I have a hard time getting motivated to go for a walk these days. The temperature here in Fredericton in New Brunswick, Canada has been -20's C(Celsius) recently, but today is a balmy -10C (feels like -15C) so I may get dressed warmly and head out....you have given me the will to go. Plus my bloodwork yesterday showed an improvement in my platelets...down from 610 last month to 460 this month.

Hi @kapow ,
Living in Tasmania, it is very cold in winter, and I love it. Love being able to rug up and have a hot chocolate with a book. The summers can be very hot, we have the cleanest air down here, so you can easily get sunburnt. Which is a worry being on Hydrae. Have you thought about getting a treadmill, would not have to go outside during the coldest days. Yes getting motivated is a daily struggle. See specialist next week, after more blood tests, hopefully platelets are behaving and back to normal. Good yours are imroving.

Oh my, I could not cope with those temperatures. I have been moaning about the cold weather in the UK being only 5 degrees. I have spent the last 3 months in Spain where the coldest day was 14 degrees but mostly 18 to 24. I have to say I felt so much better in Spain being able to be outside in the warmth of the sun most of the day where I walking a lot more. Enjoy your walk.
