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!!

Sad Sat

Only two customers all day and it was lucky that I stayed open for an extra hour so that the second customer could enter the shop!

It was so quiet in town today.

It gave me the opportunity to wrap some gift packs for display.

The Motivator came in like a whirlwind, did a few chores and then left quickly, with a big family evening planned.

I finalised another stock order that The Motivator had started.

Our new concrete guy came to the house and gave us a very reasonable quote for our concreting.

Our pool guy came and installed the magnesium filter system.

Adoring Husband researched some Bali huts and our budget is now looking a lot easier to manage. The stress levels have reduced somewhat and we are feeling a lot better about our new pool and landscaping.

I arrived home after 2.30pm and plonked myself, exhausted, on the couch. I've been awake since 4am and as an old-ish bird, I definitely require more than 5 hours of sleep at night.

We watched The Greatest Showman before I made a creamy smoked cod casserole for dinner.

My day is done and now I am going to bed where I will watch 'Breaking Dawn Part 2', until I fall asleep.

Here is some of our stock that came in during the week.










Nite all.
