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 280 in a Year of my Life

August Photo a Day ...

5.  Early


Our veggie garden is thriving at the moment.  Here is some of it ...







We've already had a meal of beans and asparagus (which we ate with salmon) and I think the first zucchini should be ready in two or three days.

Today was a perfect sunshiny Winter's day.  A little chilly in the morning, but absolutely glorious after 7.30am.  I spent most of the morning out on my trike and didn't get home til midday!

Today I am grateful for such a mild Winter.  It has helped our garden grow and thrive, which in turn, I am hopeful, will allow 'US' to thrive.  There's nothing more delicious than vegetables grown organically, in your own garden.

Nite all.
