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!!

It's Cold

For the second day in a row, I wore clothes with sleeves!

That's when you know it's cold.

Number One Son walked beside my trike to work and helped me open the shop, which was lovely.

We had another full house for morning coffee with the girls, but it was so busy in the shop that I didn't even get to sit with them, which was kind of bitter sweet.

When it got quiet, a delivery of stock arrived, which meant there were two deliveries to process because one had arrived the day before as well.

I had time to price yesterday's products, but The Motivator will have the happy task of pricing today's delivery.

The last hour was filled with a grey nomad couple who were in for a chat. No 1 Son chatted with the husband while I tempted the wife to purchase. I failed, but they are here for another six weeks and I think she will return this week to buy a birthday gift for a family member.

Tonight was an easy dinner of take away from the cafe which we ate at the Lions Park on dusk. It was very mild weather and the colour in the sky was pretty. We sat there for about thirty minutes enjoying our food until we could feel the chill in the air and we decided to drive home to the comfort of our lounge room.

We've lived here for ten years and this is the first time that we've used the air conditioner for heat. Apparently Adoring Husband used it once while I was away on a road trip, but it's never been used in the house while I've been at home.

We turned the heat on tonight for a while, but AH turned it off when he went to bed an hour ago and now I have the fan directly aimed at me ... go figure.

There are plans afoot for tomorrow and it's now almost 9.30pm so I'm off to bed. I feel surprisingly tired.


Nite all.
