Mmmm let me think. Well I've recorded Desperate Housewives so I can look forward to watching that. The new Bond film will eventually be released and I can't wait to see it. It's Salsa tonight...

Blogging Heaven

I've clocked up some serious hours this week working on my blogs and websites, my eyes are square, my head is throbbing and I have an annoying little knot in my left shoulder which I'm sure has been caused by keyboarditus.

Enough to drive you NUTS!

I can't stand seeing any more propaganda re Alzheimers. All this rubbish about if you keep your brain active, if you eat folic acid, if you ease up on the alcohol and stop smoking, ENOUGH!

Hubble Bubble Van & Trouble

There are those who might think I am a witch at times but some days I wish a was. I'd love to cast a spell across my van dashboard right now and make the flashing lights disappear but guess I'll have to stick to less mystical solutions!

Fordham Market Easter Monday is cancelled

Thankfully this is supposedly the last early Easter for sixty years. Four precious days without trade has left us cursing at this most holy of times but in truth I was much in need of a holiday.

Love is Most Certainly Not in the Air!

I didn't feel the love today out at Fakenham market, I just felt the freezing cold, miserable drizzle. Hearts and flowers PAH!

The only discernible Valentine's present purchased from my stall today could have been a crystal rose pendant but it could just as easily been for Mother's day, some people do buy early. I stuck it a red pouch and gave the man who bought it a big smile because whatever - he was obviously trying, and such men should be given every encouragement.

You would think that selling jewellery there might be a queue of earnest young (or any aged) men queueing to buy a romantic gift for the lady in their life (or someone else's life for all I know) but I learnt a long time ago that trading doesn't work like that, not on the market anyway.

I would say that I would expect women to be queueing for gifts too but I don't sell jewellery for men, it doesn't seem to work round here. Just so you know I'm not entirely sexist even though I'll happily admit I am a bit sexist on occasion.

It's a weird day really, I think most people get a bit jaded with all the named days for this or that and find it easiest to ignore it as much as possible. I'm a bit like that with Christmas now, every two years would suit me just fine. I don't think I'm miserable, just busy and it takes quite a bit of time out of normal life to deal with these events.

As for it being half-term well forget that. The weather was so grim we could hardly expect a gaggle of excited children charging down the aisles. I wouldn't blame them for staying tucked up at home today, I wish I had stayed put on my nice soft pillow.

Teenagers and children rank as among my favourite customers. Despite all the bad press I generally find it is adults who can be rude and thoughtless. Generally the children and teenagers are so excited to be buying something whether it be for themselves or as a gift their enthusiasm can be infectious. It is a rare child or teenager who doesn't say thank you or engage in happy conversation whereas I had a few adults today who blurted out questions without a thought of saying please or thank you.

Anyway, tomorrow is another day - come and make it a happy one, I'll be at Diss.

www.myriadlife.co.uk for that late romantic gift or any other occasion!
