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!!

She’s Back!

Mrs Bucket surprised us all by appearing at our coffee morning!

She is here for a few weeks so there will be plenty of time to catch up.

Surprisingly, the coffee morning was probably one of the shortest we’ve ever had, even though there were 7 of us, but the Brains Trust stayed on, as she does, for our usual one on one time. I love that.

It was a steady couple of hours from about 11am as far as sales go, and then got quiet in the afternoon - as it does.

I came home, dipped in the pool and then sat on my butt. We had a very light dinner and now at 8pm I’m ready for bed.

Tomorrow is early meditation day and it’s going to be cold! I need to psyche myself up to get out of bed into the cold air!

The Motivator is travelling home as we speak and she’ll be back on board on Friday. It’ll be good to have her back and it’ll be good to have some time out after the weekend.

We’ll be having some fun in the art room on Friday practicing for the Saturday morning workshop. A few nibbles and a beverage while we get arty farty should be a nice way to welcome her back.

For now, it’s bed time for me!

Happy Hump Day!

Nite all.
