      My two weeks at the cottage on the farm in Canberra are just about finished, for now. Spring is well and truely here and I am keen to get to the house at the coast, walk on the beach and maybe even a swim, if the water has warmed up yet.

Also I have nearly finished my 6 rounds of chemotherupy and imunotherupy for my follicular lymphoma. 4 down and 2 to go, my last round of PET CT scans…

Isolation Journal

We have been on level 3 of the Coronavirus lockdown for a few weeks now. In NSW, Australia this means only going out to exercise, to shop for food and working from home, if you still have a job.

Tuesday 7.30 am and the temperature was 10 decrees c with a cool north-westerly wind blowing. A perfect morning for a walk/run on the ridge, work can wait for an hour or so. Mt Arawang at 765 metres is at the southern end of the Coolamon Ridge walk. The access track from the Kambah end is steep and a great cardio workout.

Trigs have a cosmic intrigue for me, the symmetry of the structure exposed to the elements. A great space for some meditation and quiet reflection.
