Mary there is Scottish dancing everywhere, I am sure one of these clubs in your area will help you. See this link Scottish dancing

Re: Exercise anyone

Thank you Arthur, I see there's one in Poole, will need to persuade a mate to come along though, too shy to go on my own. I certainly hope it's not two hours, couldn't keep that up!

Re: Exercise anyone

i went on my own, what a friendly bunch! Everyone is very keen to see new members. See if they have a contact phone number and give them a ring!

Bought myself proper dancing shoes last week, was getting sore legs, what a difference! they have made. It is our annual dance on the 10th., in the town hall and everything .. should be good . Other groups come from all over to join in the fun.

I also walk my Jack Russells every day so am gradually getting fitter - much needed since I stopped working in the stables!

Re: Exercise anyone

Thanks stablelady, yes there is a phone number. I have to see a friend first and ask if she'd like to go with me. If yes, then I'll go along. I could never go on my own, I had the heebie jeebies starting yoga on my own a while back! Good for you though, I am so glad you enjoy it.

Re: Exercise anyone

First, to all who haven't been too well I wish you all a speedy recovery to full health.

As for me, well normally I am a very active person, one of those who can't sit still for more than five minutes, but at the present time my exercise more or less consists of what I call "my elephant trunk waving". This is taking my arm out of the sling (that alone is quite an ordeal) waving my arm about a little and then the hurdle of getting it back in the sling, which is a BIG relief. I can't wait until it's all healed and I can use it normally again.

Re: Exercise anyone

Ouch! How long will you have to keep that horrid sling on Loretta? I do love your description

Re: Exercise anyone

At least until the 22nd of this month maryl, that's when I see the surgeon again. Some days are better than others, I suppose that's how it goes but it is early days, it is just 3 weeks today since I had the operation and thankfully the bruising is beginning to fade now. Honestly my arm and from my collar bone all down the left upper side was black, looks like I've been run over by a train. It is one trip I don't ever want to take again, that's for sure.

Re: Exercise anyone

Ouch again! Very painful, poor you. It's not in plaster then? I remember my daughter sliding her plaster on and off when it suited her because her arm shrunk a little The youngsters seem to heal so much more quickly don't they?

Re: Exercise anyone

Wouldn't you just know it - call it sod's law. Having been confined for the past six weeks while my 'new' metal hip settles, I will be allowed out this weekend. However, according to the weather forecast we're due to get snow here tomorrow evening and all over the weekend. There is absolutely no way I can go out on an icy pavement because if I happen to slip there is a high degree of risk of dislocation of my new hip and that would mean yet more surgery to put it back again. Good 'ere innit???

Re: Exercise anyone

Its sooo cold out as well at the moment UJ so I really wouldn't rush to go out until the weather warms up a bit. Bitter in London today and probably even colder outside the city brrrrr !
