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 342 in a Year of My Life

I sit here with my laptop on my lap (exactly where it should be), in the lounge room in front of the big screen, watching the 2013 Rugby League Grand Final.

Sea Eagles V Roosters

Sea Eagles ... the team that everybody loves to hate.

Every code of football has a team that everybody loves to hate.

As I type this, Sea Eagles are leading 18 - 14, but there is still 20 minutes to go.  Roosters have just scored!!  18 - 18 with a conversion kick to come.

I'm barracking for the Roosters :D  BGWLBH doesn't follow football, but she supports the Roosters.

The score is now 20 - 18 to the Roosters.

Since I haven't been out with my camera for a couple of days, I went searching through my archives for some oldies that I might have missed.

I found a nice sunrise shot ...


Can you feel the serenity?

Adoring Husband played golf today.  So I had a lovely peaceful day at home.  I practised my new obsession - cooking.

I made a basil pesto to coat some pork cutlets for dinner tonight and then I made a creamy cauliflower sauce to cover the broccoli, carrot and pumpkin.  Then I made a delicious apple crumble  - gluten free, sugar free - for dessert.

It was a beautiful day.  Perfect temperature, beautiful breeze, bright sunshine and crisp, clean air.

Today, I'm grateful that Roosters have defeated Sea Eagles in the Grand Final 26 - 18.  Wahoo.

Nite all.
