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!!

Day 29 in a Year of my Life

Just to clarify (for those who read yesterday's post) ... last night after midnight, I was not feeling so grateful for happy laughter.

At 1am, Adoring Husband was not feeling so grateful either - he was still awake listening to the party.

Today, other neighbours have made comment about the noise and apparently have complained in the office.

The noisy party people are still in the park and by the looks of it, are gradually gathering on the porch of their cabin ready to start again lol.

Let's see what happens tonight!

(Hours later)

All is quiet tonight.  The only noise I can hear are the frogs.  A lovely sound to fall asleep to!

I have posted a few photos to flickr today.  Some from Underwater World and one for the 'Reflection' challenge which closes on 28th November.

I still have to find a good shot for 'City Lights/Night Lights'.

Here are the links to my photos on flickr.

Today I am grateful for surprisingly good sleeps in our campervan beds.  The soothing soft sounds of the night that lull me into a relaxed state and the gentle breeze that acts like a hypnotic massage and sends me off into dreamland.

I am sleeping more soundly in the van than I do at home!  Ya gotta love that!

Nite all.
