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!!

Slowly Does It

It was a slow old Saturday at the shop.

Just one paying customer all morning and 8 people through the door.

It’s not a great concern because this January is 40% up on last year and is the best January since the shop opened. 

Onward and upward!

It gave me time to steam the remaining clothes, price and display them.

I tidied the kitchen.

Did some filing.

Tidied my desk.

My only paying customer, who was bright and early, didn’t have enough room to carry his purchases on his mobility cart, so Adoring Husband offered a delivery service! That was very kind.

I also have to mention how nice it is that with his hearing aid, AH can hear my every word. I haven’t had to repeat myself once and all that pent up frustration that I’ve been experiencing is slowly draining away.

I’m so happy 🤗

We were packed up and locking the shop right on 1pm and AH drove me to my appointment with The Gypsy.

I left there 2 hours later feeling very relaxed and clear headed.

Barramundi and salad was on our menu for dinner and I cooked up a small batch of dog food for psychotic dog Colli.



I’m feeling a bit weary now so it’s sleep time for me.

Nite all.
