Over 50's Club Scotland (Part 1)

Afternoon Each,a fine sunny dry chilly one here perfect for a brisk walk this morn,
Daughter & SIL just left after They’d been xmas shopping so popped in for a bite to eat,
You seem to suffer more than most from the cold Rox so have a look at this.

Why am I so sensitive to the Cold?

  • A number of medical conditions can also increase sensitivity to the cold. These include Raynaud’s syndrome, type 2 diabetes, which is often accompanied by numbness in the extremities, an underactive thyroid, atherosclerosis, iron deficiency anaemia and pernicious anaemia, all of which are relatively common in older people.

Good afternoon. Its a cold one here today. Rox hurry up and finish knitting your cardigan and keep warm. May I’m waiting on my niece coming in to take stuff to the dump. Going to ask here to take me to the shops for bread.

May, I have borderline type 2 diabetes, it can and does sometimes slip over the line and I have to diet like mad (very strict) to get it back to normal. I also seem to have developed poor circulation over the last few years, don’t know where that came from. That’s why I took it so bad when the temperature in the pool was dropped to save on the heating bills.

Good morning Each,brightening up here after a rainy night,

Didn’t know about Your diabetes Rox,great that You have it under control :hugs:

Don’t know what I’m doing today,just take it as it comes.

Morning, Not too bad a morning weather wise, much better now that freezing wind has gone. Been to the pool, been to Tesco, walked the Hairy One, and now enjoying a latte. Stuck in this afternoon waiting for a parcel to come, more knitting after a tidy up.
This was a bit of a shocker when I looked at the headlines. Noooo :scream::scream:

EEK!..Well We have been warned…better stock up
:cold_face: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Good afternoon, painters are here so I was out early. My niece came round and we went to Dobbies for breakfast then we had look round there. Got my tree so after the carpet is laid, I can get my tree up. Really cold out there today so the heating has been turned up a little bit.

Evening All, The snow has started here and I’m sitting at the fire watching it swirl past the big windows. Dunc came in a short time ago cussing the weather big time, he started Winter Ploughing today and didn’t get an awful lot done.
Just been working around here today, apart from swimming and walking in the forest with The Hairy One.
Hope you had a good day.

Just incase anyone needs to know about Christmas Strikes.


It was my birthday yesterday and this is the cake my 14 year old granddaughter baked for me.

Afternoon All, Very snowy here with yellow warnings about white out conditions, sat and had my coffee at a snowy Thurso Beach this morning, after my swim. I enjoy my ten minutes of ocean watching in the morning. Luckily the beach front is only 2 minutes from the pool car park.
