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!!

He's home.

Adoring Husband arrived home much earlier today than I expected, but I don't think he rushed home to see me.

I believe that he rushed home to see the new campervan!

He arrived home and after a short obligatory conversation with me regarding our separate weekends as grandparents, he made his way outside and began to play with is new toy.

The campervan is now set up in the back yard, complete with cutlery in drawers, crockery in cupboards, tv installed, beds made, water connected and Adoring Husband all curled up snug in the bed!

I think they call that 'Quality Control'  :D

His suitcase is still packed and takes pride of place inside the family room door with the camera bag sitting proudly beside it.

If I hadn't mentioned it here tonight, they would probably stay there for a week, but if Adoring Husband reads this in the morning, they will be removed and unpacked ... however ... he may be so obsessed with the campervan, that he just may not even read this blog for a few days!

Watch this space :)

In the meantime, I have completed all five briefs for the Photo5 competition.

Little People/Scale
Tissue Paper/Strong Colour 
Wind
Fishing Wire/Black&White
Spaghetti/Portrait
I had a different idea for the fishing wire brief but my plans fell through, so I've used the back up photo.

On that note, I'm off to climb into my big king-sized bed, all alone, to sleep soundly for the third night in a row.

Nite all.
