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!!

On The Mend

After lots of sound sleep I woke up this morning feeling much better. 

Still a bit low on energy, but definitely improved.

Today, I took down the Christmas decorations at the shop, finished my newsletter and emailed it out, tried to fill in all the gaps in the display areas (a bit low on stock) and tried to leave the shop at 2pm but late customers hindered my progress and we didn’t arrive home until 3pm.

After one hour of R&R, we all jumped in the car and drove to the beach for a walk ...






We had bangers and mash for dinner with garlic buttered snow peas and broccoli.

It was too early to go to bed, so we played Trivial Pursuit until 7.45pm - Beautiful Girl With Long Blonde Hair won again - I think she has won 13 games and I’ve won 8. Adoring Husband is on zero.

We watched I’m a Celebrity and I played my pop master quiz.

It’s now 10pm and I’m ready for sleep. We may experience a nasty storm later tonight so I think I’d like to be asleep before it hits.

Nite all.
