Christmas Greetings

Got a plug in on talkback radio on 774 the other day, as a result of which I've had a photographer contact me who has himself walked the Camino, and who may be interested in recording my journey. It would make it a very different experience from what I had contemplated, but we will talk again!
The Leukaemia Foundation now have their own donations page established, so I have been the guinea pig for the site, ironing out the bugs, but it is now ok and I have been able to personalise a few things on my page, which you can find at http://my.imisfriendraising.com.au/personalPage.aspx?SID=87431.
Son Peter has been busy finalising my website, and we can now link to the donations page - hopefully it will be finished for Xmas !!!!
Please visit at www.assisi2santiago.com
I have been working with a personal trainer for 2 months, and after Xmas I will start my longer walks. Fortunately, there are lots of excellent trails on the Peninsula, and I look forward to seeing more of it at walking pace.
In the meantime I wish you all Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noel, Buon Natale, and Feliz Navidad.

Springtime continues!

We now have 4 cria safely arrived, and it has been a steep learning curve, as mum #3 suffered a prolapsed uterus, which necessitated an early morning emergency call to the vet. All well now, and it's fascinating to watch the new bubs charging around the paddocks. With the changing spring weather it has been a constant round of cria coats on, coats off, in to the shed, out of the shed - time and again as the weather changes. In a few weeks they will be strong enough to cope on their own, but for the time being, they need the extra protection.
On the camino front, research continues on mapping my own path, and I have now booked the first 3 nights from Assisi. Also had my medical check-ups, and it's all systems go! Less than a month to Xmas, and I'm sure the time will fly until I leave in 128 days time!
