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!!

Bugga!

Well, if you read my blog post yesterday, you will know that I was rooting for the Roosters to win the first NRL match of the season last night, but alas they lost .. and in a big way!

Bugga!

Today has been a mixed bag.

It started with Adoring Husband attempting to instal a new tap in our kitchen, with a little bit of assistance from me.  It took a touch longer than first thought, but eventually we managed it - thanks to AH's ingenuity.

Then we met some friends, down by the river, for morning tea which was lovely.

The weather, once again, was perfect.  It's coming up to that time of year, when the air is clear and all the colours of nature are more vibrant.  The sunlight glistens on the water and I just want to soak it all into my memory.

Last night, I stepped outside to our outdoor area, just to look at the night sky.  We have quite a few pot plants out there, with little ornaments .. mostly frogs .. and some of them sit on the edge of the pots.

Imagine my surprise, when what I thought was an ornament, changed position on the edge of a pot!


As I write this, I am waiting for the courtesy bus to arrive, to take AH and I to the Bowls Club for our usual Friday night socialising.

We'll be home in time to watch the footy.  Wahoo!  I love footy season.

Nite all.
