The walks continue unabated….with good news at the end.

Posted by Quirky | April 29, 2008 .

I concede it has been sometime since I appraised you of the walks over the last week or thereabouts. Whilst the pressures of work & immediate family issues continue, the walks at lunchtime assume much more importance. Dina, Pesky and I have elderly parents and the walks enable us to compare notes and discuss issues which may [...]

Pesky’s politicism of the Fat C walking Club

Posted by Quirky | April 29, 2008 .

On behalf of all those readers who have emailed me & smsed me I would like to apologise for the way in which Pesky has hijacked this site to express his own personal views about a newspaper columnist Dolt. I agree this site should explore the delights of exercise and Pesky is attempting to use [...]

Sunday Stroll aborted for a Dolt

Posted by pesky | April 23, 2008 .

It was a glorious Sunday morning, and my bush walk beckoned.  However, I decided instead to watch ABC1’s current affairs program Insiders, thinking it would exercise my mind.  What a huge mistake and a monumental waste of time.  Melbourne’s resident Village Idiot Andrew Bolt, whose bilious bilge can be found in the editorial columns of [...]

Dynamic Duo in Planning Mode

Posted by pesky | April 17, 2008 .

Quirky and I did a quick circuit today, whilst Dina went off for a long lunch with “the girls”.  Afterwards I volunteered to make the bookings for the Fat C’s Bruny Island adventure, to take place from 24th to 28th May.  Little did I realize what angst I was letting myself in for, as neither [...]

A Quick Circuit and an Interesting Plan

Posted by pesky | April 16, 2008 .

Dina and I completed a quick circuit along the Yarra River today, without Quirky, who was apparently home in bed [I'll say no more].  We didn’t see Churchill (our only graduate), but I did speak to him by phone to see if he is interested in accompanying Dina, Quirky and me next month on [...]

Global Warming and the Fat C’s

Posted by pesky | April 15, 2008 .

As an addendum to Quirky’s latest offering, I’d like to point out that the weather today was unseasonably warm, making the walk undoubtedly pleasant, but nevertheless bringing home the fact that not even simple pleasures are unconnected from one of the greatest challenges to face humankind. I just wanted to say this for I [...]

Three originals take to the pavement.

Posted by Quirky | April 15, 2008 .

Yes at last Dina, Pesky and I set out for the lunchtime stroll, re-introducing Pesky to the circuit route. Dina is so keen to add to the diary. I am slightly apprehensive she will tell a few truths about Pesky and I, although Pesky has more to be concerned about than me. The walk was [...]

A lone journey.

Posted by Quirky | April 14, 2008 .

Today I ventured out on my own with Pesky being ill and Dina having other engagements. My company for the day was my trusty ipod filled with my favourite pod casts. A chance to listen to my favourite downloaded music.
I took the FCWC old route  to the Swan Street Bridge, watching the joggers in groups pass me [...]

Weekend exercise – not so quirky !

Posted by Quirky | April 13, 2008 .

Whilst Pesky took a walk near his rambling country estate, I engaged in a different exercise regime on the weekend. One which I am sure, readers will more closely identify with. Yesterday I walked for an hour around the streets and parks of my own suburb. Such a walk included a pleasant stroll along the creek which winds its [...]
