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!!

Not So Flat Out

Beautiful, glorious, delicious steady rain!

24 hours of it!

And more to come. A LOT more!

The rain did keep the customers away from the shop though. It was an average day of sales so I can’t complain and I must say it was quite peaceful for most of the day.

I don’t know why, but for some reason, by the time I arrived home I was feeling incredibly agitated. I was snapping at both Adoring Husband and Beautiful Girl With Long Blonde Hair.

I spent some time fixing my new water filter while hedging a million questions from AH - which agitated me even more 😳

I decided that I needed some time out to process my unreasonable mood. I locked myself in the bedroom, put my earplugs in, turned up the volume and selected a 35 minute meditation video from YouTube  by The Gypsy.

It was exactly what I needed and I came out the other side feeling completely recharged and much lighter and happier.

It just occurred to me that I should have apologised to my housemates for being such an evil, bitter and twisted bee, but I didn’t. I’m a bad friend and wife.

We had a very early dinner of lamb loin chops on the barbecue with salads that BGWLBH prepared and we played trivia until 7.30pm - which appears to be our standard bed time.

I played Pop Master at 8.30pm and have been guzzling water from my new super duper Walter filter. I’m guessing I’ll be up a couple of times during the night for obvious reasons 😳.

Time to fall asleep to the sound of rain on the roof.




Nite all.
