Once I can return to a pool I will have to become a pool walker instead of swimming. Building it up gradually. As I will be in Perth for a good while I will rejoin the Health Club as the pool has walk down steps and hand rail. One of their Jacuzzis is walk in from the pool so I can rest there when needed.....Decision one of my life changes made.
Was talking to my sis in auz today and she has changed her whole back garden into a pool.....Wonderful, lucky her. What a place to do my exercises and pool walking.

Is she in Scotland Raven? My son's house has a pool, put in by previous owners. It's fabulous in the summer, but it costs a lot to heat. Glad you've a local pool that is suitable when you start your new journey.
The pool I go to is closing for repairs next month. I've hardly been to aqua aerobics this year, but I'll really miss it because its so local. There is another one where I can use my membership, but its much further.

According to Raven her sister's in Australia.
And it shows why any ethnic Brit youngster with a brain cell should try to emigrate there.
Of course, the dole scroungers need not apply as they won't be accepted.
Yes she is quiet near Sydney Harbour, you can see the Opera House in the distance from her place. She went out as A Ten Pound Pom back in the 60s. Del's the 2nd oldest of us 4 and a good few years older than me.
My parents brought me up to be steady & reliable so although I thought about emigrating, I never did.
The Australian £10 Pom immigration officers used to visit the Labour Exchanges (Job Centres as they are now called) to interview people who were interested & drum up custom from those who hadn't even thought about emigrating.
I wish I'd listened to them, when they were giving me the sell, & made the move.
When I was first married at 19 we thought about emigrating to Canada, I wouldn't entertain Australia because of the spiders and snakes. We didn't go in the end as hubby got a good job and we bought our first house.
So did we Alex, lots of Scots in Canada, including an older cousin. We ended up in Doncaster instead! :wtf:
two of mum's siblings, one brother, one sister, emigrated to Oz and reckoned it was the best thing that they ever did

I've often thought that steady & reliable equals a wasted life.
