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!!

Glorious Sunshine!

Oh ♪♫ what a beautiful morning ♪♫ Oh what a beautiful day ♪♫

The sun was shining, the sky was blue, the birds were singing and the air was fresh and clear.  Absolutely glorious start to the day!

It was so good, that even Adoring Husband went for a walk ... and that NEVER happens!

When I arose this morning, he was nowhere to be found in the house, and I found his note telling me that he was walking.  I had to read it five times because I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me!

So I pedalled down to the bakery to get my coffee and headed toward the Seat of Knowledge, where I found Adoring Husband perched at the table chatting with my boys!

We were there til about 8.45 and then went our separate ways.  I was hanging out to spend a few hours with the camera around town, now that the sun was shining and the rain was gone!

I could feel my body soaking up the vitamin D and I didn't get home til almost 11am.  I didn't even get any spectacular shots, but I didn't care - it was just nice to be out.

Soaking up some sunshine
The kookaburras were certainly enjoying their spot in the sun. There were four smaller birds going crazy in the branches above them - I think the smaller birds had nests nearby and were attempting to frighten the kookas away. It wasn't working!

We should have good weather for at least a week now.

There is some kind of outdoor expo on in The Bay tomorrow, so Adoring Husband and I are going to have a look at that.  The ground where it will be set up, was VERY wet yesterday, so I think I'll take my wellington boots with me.   

The new farmer's market will be at the community hall too, so we hope to stock up on some fresh fruit and veggies.  Yum.

I hope we'll get to visit Vegan Chickie and Chicklet around lunch time.

Time for bed, so that I can rise and shine to more glorious sunshine tomorrow :o)

Nite all.
