6 December Turning sexy

Umbrellas bar

Today I passed from being a quinquagenarian to a sexagenarian. A landmark birthday which I've been using as an excuse for treats and parties for the last month. A month of celebrations in the form of a trip home, gratuitous shopping, dinners with friends and a special lunch with my Mum.  Now back in Grenada and the party continues.

This week we have hired a motorbike and are zapping around. But a slight hiccup when your birthday falls on a Monday is the restaurant you really wanted to have dinner is closed on Mondays. Simple answer – go out today and tomorrow. Win! win! Today was an indulgent lunch with not one, but two cocktails, at a beach bar on Grand Anse. The first drink was on the house for being able to prove it was my birthday.

I had to have a little nap when I got home. Guess the afternoon siesta will become part of life now I'm old!
