Efudix fear! From a scooter rider.
I haven't even gone to the dr yet!
I'm guessing I need another round of Efudix. I did my whole scalp a few years ago, and I have a couple of spots on my hairline and forehead now. I'm actually quite bald. I'm 65 and I live alone most of the time here on my little 7 acreage.
I have just read a fantastic blog of a Texas woman who described her experience with skin pre cancers. Her mother had cancer problems as well. (She really reminded me of Mary Ann. She was a VERY keen bike rider , a teacher and an inspiration to all she met. She had breast cancer as a younger woman , treated and beat it for 20 years until it returned about 12 years ago....)
I'm wondering what has happened to her her since her last entry was in 2015. She writes so very well.
I might look a bit silly if my dr just excises my little scabs.
But I can't help but reflect on my previous self treatment. All those days and weeks of watching your own progress; if you can call it that. I'm hoping the top of my head doesn't require too much more treatment and that I don't need too much of anything.
Whoops .... I just checked. My treatment was in July of 2016. It seems much longer ago than that.
Edit this!😇

the fires
2 weeks ago Sam and I defended the house from the approaching fire. About an hour from it hitting the house there was a Southerly change in the wind.
Its late at night . I have now installed sprinler system on four posts around the house. I have spent nearly 3 thousand dollars on a new Davey firefighter petrol pump
and new hoses and nozzles.Too tired - another time..........
Back again. Wednesday 18 th Feb.
I have spent the last few days improving my firefighting capacities . I now have 2 1 inch spot-fire hoses and a wopping 40 mm firehose attached to 1800 litres on the trailer. I am going to buy a bag of superphosphate to act as a fire retardant - I will experiment first .
Also have a fixed pump to my 12,00 gallon tank next to the house -its pumps water to 5 sprinklers on the outskirts of the house [attached to the facia on the four sides of the house. The ends are on the apex/ridges. ] These cover the whole roof and surrounds . They would be not be sufficient if we were surrounded by forest.But essentially we are a grassland environment.
I feel much better prepared than a week ago . Thanks TO MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS for making it all happen !!!!!!

best scooter
If anyone is interested in a scooter ... I can highly recommend the Suzuki Burgman . It has a 400 cc engine and a huge under-seat storage area that can house a rolley full of shopping .I only ride mine in fine weather and when I feel good! .... It makes me feel even better. According to the on-board compyter I get to ride 25 k`s for just 1 litre of fuel .Its so easy to ride and to sit on. I have had big bikes in the past but this bike is just as satisfying. It has a big screen . The only accessory I have added/invented is a cruise control which is just a regular hose clamp on the right hand grip so that my wrist can take the bike for a cruise without my whole hand locked into the one position for longer rides.
Whoa ! As of September 2017 ,I now ride a new 650. It's my second one. I sold the first one because I wasn't riding it.
I have weakened and bought this one recently, despite having back problems . I love it!

rc heli ... nine eagles explorer
My partner and I just changed the radio control mode from Mode 2 to Mode 1 ... so if you need any help ...she is your woman! well kinda ... she sits beside me at the moment so....
I am very impressed with the nine eagles helicopter ; so much so I have bought a second . I smashed my first one last week-end and it only cost me A$ 65.00 to repair !
It was daunting to do the aforementioned changeover but , shucks , no one else was going to. I have had many hours of pleasure flying this heli. It is not so great at going straight forward but it makes up for it by going sideways very well [ right lever hard over].... but it all takes practice . It was very satisfying to rebuild it after smashing it into a pole- on full throttle ! trying to escape the said pole . I thought it would be very out of tune.... but with a little fiddle she is flying again and will be my main heli. The new one is a back up/ emergency craft that I can copy if a rebuild is required again. I think it will be ... I am being more cuatious and giving myself more space. Knowing when to quit flying or shift to more shelter is important . I had had the little mosquitos for over a year and was ready for this next level.
