Weekend Off...

Why is it when you get a weekend off and go away for a few days you ended up more tired when you're ment to be resting? Had a good weekend other than been worn out... I bought shoes... rather shiny bronze winklepickers at that. I also went all weekend without the thought of work and what a joy that was to just have some time without worrying about getting called in. Just the joys of shopping with "ar lass".

Growing Old Gracefully

In The Coffee Shop we have some dear old regulars but the most astounding is the 70something gentleman, and he is an Old Fashioned Gent at that, who brings his sweet Mother, Maude into the shop a few times a week and this week she turns 95 years old. As a nice gesture myself ad the girls in the shop brought her a large bunch of flowers for her birthday. What follows was a look of joy and surprise. I think that just goes to show that even at 95 life can still have its joy and surprises. We'll just all have to hope we are as lucky when we get that old!
