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!!

Working Not Working

I had paperwork to sort through at work and wanted to get that job out of the way, so I was up bright and early, rode down for a very quick visit with the boys at The Seat of Knowledge before unlocking the shop door right on 8am.

It took me an hour to finish the first stage of the paperwork trail and about 20 minutes for the second stage.

In the middle of all that, The Motivator arrived for work and opened the shop.

It was a very quiet Saturday as far as customers and sales are concerned, but that gave TM and I an excellent opportunity to catch up. We had a LOT to talk about and time passed so quickly! Four hours felt like two!

I rode off as TM was closing the shop at 1pm and was welcomed home by three very large Santa Clauses on our front lawn.

AH had spent the morning setting up our outdoor Christmas lights and decorations.




Tomorrow we’ll set up the indoor decorations and the tree 🌲

I prepared an easy lunch and baked a chicken for dinner, which we ate with salad.

I think we are both ready for bed now. I feel like I’ve really filled my day, but I’ve achieved very little in the second half of the day.

My other plan for tomorrow is to fill the new dressing table with my ‘stuff’.

I want to swim.

I want to do some art.

I want to do some washing and clean the bathroom.

What I WANT to do and what I ACTUALLY do, are always two completely things! 🤪

Nite all.
