Went for a walk at 8.15a.m. this morning.
Walked around Stanpit marsh, to Avon Beach and along coast to Cliffhanger cafe and back to Avon Beach cafe. Arrived at 10.15 for 2 hours did not need to go for pee - this is the first time I have managed a walk with this amount of control. Had coffee with Dave and Jenny and then walked home on same route as outward - 50 minutes from cafe. Did not need to go for pee until I got home - two 2 hr stints - most encouraging, much better than before I was taken ill in January. Feel encouraged. Entire walk in 2 hrs 50 minutes - back to what I was doing before Christmas. Arrived home 11.50am. Distance walked about 11 miles.

Friday, August 20th.
Dentist appointment at 9.35a.m.
Then spent morning sorting last three overnight stays on Dawdle. These are in Worthing, Bognor Regis and Portsmouth. All confirmed and made changes and updated my master list.
I now have all ovewrnight accomodations booked for the entire Dawdle - I feel very happy about this as all I have to do is find the location when I arrive in the town. Most are near the coast as I have deliberately avoided places to stay which involve a long walk inland. some venues I will be picked up and taken to the place I am am staying and then next morning I will be returned to the same location.
Have not done any significant walks this week but feel happy about this. May do one tomorrow. Need to confirm to myself how it is waking now that the catheter is removed. So far it has been really good.
