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 332 in a Year of my Life

Well ... with 5 days to go til the closing date of the photo competition, I got two of the photos done today!  Woot!  Woot!

The 'Jelly' brief (Jellyfish) ...


The 'Cartoon Eyes' brief (Death by Blending) ...


So that's three down and two to go.

Best Cousin in the World left today.  It was a brief, but very nice visit.  Now she gets to spend a night with my little sis, 'Squirt'.

We didn't even get a photo of each other this time!  For photographers, we are not very good at recording memories of our lives!

An interesting little development with SEB and OB (the cockatiels)!  SEB spent quite some time in the nesting box today and created a little nest inside with the shredded paper that Adoring Husband put there.

OB spent the entire time sitting on the perch right outside the little entrance to the nesting box and didn't even move to eat during that time.

Something interesting could happen any time now!

I'll keep you posted!

Today, I'm grateful that the 56km per hour winds have finally dropped back to 30km per hour!  I'm a bit OVER the wind.

Nite all.
