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!!

Excuse for a Date

We had to put the car in for a service today, so we used it as a good excuse to go on a movie date.

The car dealership provide a taxi service to drop you off anywhere in town, while your car is being serviced, so we got a lift to the cinema.

We watched "Delivery Man" starring Vince Vaughn.

I've never been a big fan of Vince Vaughn, but I really liked him in this movie.  It was a 'feel good' movie with a few giggles and a couple of moving moments.

We had to kill some time before the movie started, so we went browsing in JB Hifi and came out with a handful of dvds.

The latest Dr Who movie, the last series of 'Big Bang Theory' and the movie 'The Lone Ranger' with Johnny Depp.

We watched the movie and with perfect timing, the car dealership sent us a text 10 minutes before the end, to tell us that the car was ready and to contact them with details of where they could pick us up!

We've had some good soaking rain today.  I can hear the garden smiling.

Here is a photo from some time ago.


I'm still editing wedding photos .. I have most of tomorrow to finish them off.  Fingers crossed I can focus long enough to do it!

Nite all.
