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!!

A Bird is a Bird is a Bird.

Here we are safe n sound.

All of those lovely birds that we saw on the drive over on Friday, were nowhere to be seen on the drive home today.

The first fellow that caught our attention, drinking out of the gutter??

They were all right between the river and the road.

Stretching on tippy toes and stretching his wings!
I have a couple of photos of ducks, geese and other feathery creatures to share with you, but photographic opportunities have been rare.

Feeding time!

I do believe that this is a shag on a pole!  A goose and a galah in the background!

27 Top Notch (or crested) pigeons on the power lines. 
BGWLBH and I spent the evening playing trivia online.  She trotted off to bed at midnight and here I am trying to create a new post with a frazzled, sleepy brain!

So, at 1am, it's time for this bird to slide between the sheets and get some beauty sleep myself.

Nite all.
