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!!

A Bit Productive

I soaked up some more beautiful Autumn sunshine this morning.

I played briefly with the camera ..


I got to cook in the kitchen .. home made tomato sauce in the slow cooker .. I'll give you the verdict tomorrow after I give it the final whizz in the blender.

I got to study for an hour in my work space and then for an hour on the garden swing .. I think that's my favourite place to study now.  The chickens come over for a chat.  I can hear my neighbour's sewing machine in her upstairs sewing room, which brings back childhood memories of my mother sewing in the house while I played outside.  The neighbourhood sounds are comforting.

I wonder how many of you agree with this?


It made me laugh.

Nite all.
