It has been at least a couple of years since Adoring Husband and I attended the markets in the Bay, but we decided to take Bubbles and Knight in Shining Armour into the markets today.
We remembered the markets as being very big, with a hundred or more stalls ranging from fresh fruit and veg to jewellery to craft to plants and garden ornaments to bric-a-brac and much more.
We remembered the car park being difficult to navigate and always full to the brim.
We remembered that it took a couple of hours to stroll through the markets to see everything.
So we were looking forward to spending a leisurely couple of hours browsing.
How disappointed were we to discover maybe 15 stalls set up at the markets .. mostly fruit and veg. Apparently, according to the people running the markets, the bad weather from the day and night before, had frightened the other stall owners away.
Today was a glorious day with not a cloud in the sky.
I got a few fresh vegetables and then we drove to the Boat Club where we had some lunch, put $20 each in the pokies, followed that up with some shopping and then home in time to cook dinner.
A bit disappointing for a their final day here, but at least we got to spend it together.
Everyone is into bed early, ready for a reasonably early start morning tomorrow, so that's where I'm going now.
I have to say that I'm feeling pretty exhausted tonight.
Nite all.
I'm lazy and selfish and spend too much time on the internet. I love to be creative with photography and jewellery and sketching with pencil and pastels. I'm happier now than I have ever been and I love everything about my life ... where I live, my home, my fantastic grown up children, my lifestyle, my friends, my dogs and last but not least my wonderful adoring husband. Life is good!
Nice to see you!
Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.
Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.
Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**
Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!
So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!
Welcome to my dilemna!!
