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 327 in a Year of my Life

This is my entry for the 'flour' brief in the photo competition.


It was quite chilly this morning when I pedalled down to the bakery at 4.30am!

Adoring Husband drove the car slowly behind me, all the way, just to make sure I arrived safe n sound, then he went off to work.

I spent about 45 minutes at the bakery weaving in and out between the two bakers as they hurried through their work.  They have their work practises down to a fine art and are totally in sync with each other, knowing exactly what to do and when to do it without uttering a word.

Impressive!

There was a good morning of photography awaiting me at the river.

A beautiful sunrise.


A fish carcass on the beach attracted the birdlife.



I was very happy with my morning .. a nice reward for having to be up at 'stupid' o'clock!

So I'm pretty happy with the day so far.

Now I'm off to figure out what to make for dinner tonight .. hopefully a culinary work of art worthy of bragging about in a future post!

Today I am grateful, that both Adoring Husband and I, get to sleep all night and not have to wake to an early alarm.

Nite all.
