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!!

Psychotically Happy

We had a lovely drive down to the Sunshine Coast to pick up Bubbles from the airport.

The weather was a bit erratic as we drove through sun showers, heavy downpours, overcast skies and periods of bright sunshine, but that just made the trip a little more interesting.

This afternoon we drove down to the river to try and catch a pretty sunset, but most of the clouds cleared except for one big one that covered the sun, barely giving it a chance to glow at all!

Here is my effort with the camera ...

A regular dog walker enjoying the sandy beach.

Bubbles, practising with her new camera.

Thank you to the Sea Eagle who was kind enough to fly into my shot.

Just a touch of colour in the sunset.
One thing is for sure, the psychotic dogs are psychotically happy to see Bubbles again and right now, she is draped along the couch in the family room with all three of them laying on top of her.

I'm all worn out from my big day out, so I'm off to bed, but before I go, I would just like to say ...

... we are psychotically happy to see you again too Bubbles!

Nite all.
