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!!

The Reveal

It can now be revealed that nobody enjoyed the movie “Hustlers”.

Nobody.

Not even Adoring Husband. Not even with all those beautiful half naked women!

I had a busy day at work.

Not many paying customers, but plenty of tyre kickers and two deliveries to unpack, price and display.

I spent quite some time emptying, cleaning and rearranging the glass display cabinets to make room for the new jewellery range. THAT was a job and a half and the question remains ... whose stoopid idea was it to include glass cabinets for our displays? 😳

Some of the jewellery ...







I have to admit that I was feeling pretty exhausted by the end of the day. I even ordered myself a coffee at 1.30pm to attempt to feel some energy. It didn’t work.

After an hour sitting on my butt in front of the television, I decided to make duck a l’orange for dinner. It was delicious and served with buttered asparagus, fried mushroom and roasted cherry tomatoes.

It took about 40 minutes.

It’s almost 10pm so I’m off to bed.

Nite all.
