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!!

Tested

I had my eyes tested today.

My distance vision hasn't changed, but my reading vision has deteriorated slightly, so I need new reading glasses.

I also ordered some new prescription sunglasses ... I'm so tired of having my current sunglasses repaired every month!

After we finished with OPSM, we did the tour of the organic and health shops in town and spent quite a lot of money on some more organic health foods that I didn't think were even available in Australia.

In tomorrow's post, I'll share some details of what we bought, why we bought it and some recipes in which to use them.

I would have shared the information tonight, but I am feeling pretty tired, so please accept a rain check :)

We arrived home just before lunch and then after lunch, Adoring Husband had to leave for a Drs appointment.

After he left, I had to pedal to the Post Office to mail a prize to the 104 group's monthly winner (a necklace with a camera charm) and after returning home, I began the long cheese making process - which reminds me - I must turn it before I head off to bed.

I took some scissors out to the garden and picked all the chillies off the plants to make some chilli paste.

After the Drs, AH had to go to the gym to begin a special exercise plan which will hopefully help ease his Parkinson's symptoms.

So I started to prepare dinner and he arrived home to advised me, that he is on a liquid diet for the next week or more.

He had pumpkin, cauliflower and garlic soup, while I enjoyed my Honey Bombay Chicken with home-made sweet potato chips and potato in it's jacket.

By the time I cleaned the kitchen after dinner and finally sat down, my body told me that I had done enough for the day.

I am now too pooped to pop.

Nite all.
