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!!

Packing

How nice that I don't have to get up at 4am to stand on a cold train platform waiting for my ride tomorrow!

I booked myself onto the later train, so that I can sleep in and then take my time getting ready and finishing packing in the morning.

Considering it's already midnight as I write this, I'm feeling even more relieved that I chose to do that.

I got a fair bit of studying done today, as well as all my washing and ironing and most of my packing, so I'm not feeling any stress at all.

There'll be no photo shoots this trip, so I only have to take a couple of lenses for the family and Chicklet pics.  That will reduce the weight of my baggage by a couple of kgs.

My next #100happydays photo ...


Happiness is studying while enjoying a pot of liquorice tea :D

... and now I'm outta here!

Nite all.
