Our visitors left at 10am.
It was sad to see them go, but at the same time, Adoring Husband and I are pleased to be alone in our home for a while.
I watched most of the Wimbledon final last night, but crawled into bed at almost 3.30am.
This means that I am making this a short post, because I'd like an early-ish night to bed.
I promised a few nights ago, to share photos of Adoring Husband's new granddaughter ...
I haven't met her yet, but what big eyes she has! I think she will be cheeky and full of mischief, just like her Dad ... and her Granddad for that matter!
I have found some owls to watch, and they are living in a frangipani tree in a local man's back garden. I hope that they nest there, because it would be the perfect spot for me to follow their progress.
All of the big birds appear to be nesting now, so I hope that there will be lots of photos to be had in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, I am about to stroll through my empty house, to my empty side of the bed, to sleeeeeeeep.
Nite all.
I'm lazy and selfish and spend too much time on the internet. I love to be creative with photography and jewellery and sketching with pencil and pastels. I'm happier now than I have ever been and I love everything about my life ... where I live, my home, my fantastic grown up children, my lifestyle, my friends, my dogs and last but not least my wonderful adoring husband. Life is good!
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!!
