My pen name is Sumlushlass…. a name given to me by Sumyunguy some moons ago. Although life has moved on, it’s a name I have grown to love and by which I am identified in my musings.

Hi I am Sharon and aged 54, does not seem 5 mins since I reached my 50’s! I am married and recently last of my children left home, which is very strange and sometimes a struggle as son has emigrated to America.

I’d love to make some new friends…[Read more]
Hi, I’m 59 and will be retiring from my job as a pharmacy technician at the end of march. I was widowed a year ago, so the retirement I anticipated will not happen. I’m hoping to pick up tips on how NOT to be a frump, and more info on travelling without my other half.
