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!!

Sleepy Me

I was gently woken at 4.30am by Adoring Husband who couldn’t find his 🤓 glasses.

Every night, he falls asleep wearing them, and during the night he takes them off and half asleep, he puts them on the bed head.

Somehow, last night, they found their way to the bedroom floor, perfectly in line with the timber frame of the bed, so they couldn’t be seen unless you were looking in just the right direction at just the right angle!

I very patiently dragged myself out of bed and luckily found them after a few minutes. AH is as blind as a bat without them so he wouldn’t have been able to drive to work.

It took me ages to get back to sleep and my alarm woke me at 7am.

I tried to take it easy at work. I have more stock arriving this week, but luckily none of it arrived today.

Ten days ago, I received a dozen of this style of top ...




... and I sold the last one today! I’ve now ordered more and they’ll arrive next week.

Today was a fantastic sales day with a steady flow of holiday makers through the door. I lost count of how many people have told me, this week, “what a lovely shop” and “what beautiful things”. I can never hear that too often!

My nutrition today:  lemon water, chicken broth, filtered water, coffee, plain coconut yoghurt with strawberries and blueberries, Hainan chicken with mixed mushrooms, ginger & coriander, berry smoothie with blueberries, dragon fruit, banana, yoghurt, coconut water and water. Raspberry muffin.

Lots of berries today!

What else did I do today? Created more files, filed more paperwork, sold a lot, talked a lot, ran the updates in my mini iPad because it wouldn’t process payments - this meant everybody had to pay cash during the morning, did some banking, checked the mail and sat on my butt.

We didn’t get home until well after 3.30pm.

It was an easy dinner with the smoothie for dessert - enough left over for me to take to work tomorrow and enough dinner left over for AH to have for lunch. I love it when a plan comes together.

I think I’m off to bed now and hopefully I’ll get a full, uninterrupted night of sleep.


Nite all.
