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!!

Cool and Rainy

Perfect sleeping weather with gentle rain and a cool breeze floating through the bedroom window.

I had a full day at the shop with lots of customers and plenty to unpack.

The ‘missing’ third box of stock was delivered early this morning so I finished unpacking, checking, pricing and displaying the products.

Some of the Vistaprint order arrived - new gift vouchers, coffee mug and cash tin bag with the new logo, stickers, and decals to put on the A-frame sign.

The Cenzoni leather bags arrived and I phoned the customer whose order was also in the box. She turned up just before closing to purchase her order and promptly asked me to order a third leather bag. She has claimed a beautiful leather backpack for one of her friends too.

My essential oils also turned up. I ran out of ‘sweet sleep’ a while ago and I found a different brand to try. I’ll let you know if they work.

I’ve already taken four names for next week’s art workshop so I imagine that it will fill quickly. Now I just have to figure out what method of pouring to do for the first week back!

Adoring Husband and I will be clearing the storage area tomorrow afternoon after we lock up and attaching the clothes hanging rails to the walls.



I bathed Ruby’s eye before I came to bed, then sprayed colloidal silver all around it before administering the drops.

I’m in bed now, but I’m feeling a bit peckish. I won’t eat at 11pm at night!

Nite all.
