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!!

Hol Mode

There are two types of holidays.

One is intense and busy and so full of activity that you need a holiday to get over your holiday.

The second is so relaxed and quiet and a perfect opportunity to regenerate and rejuvenate and listen to what your brain wants you to hear.

So far, Bubbles and Knight in Shining Armour are experiencing the second type.

By the end of this week, they will have experienced the first type.

Hopefully the last couple of days will be rejuvenating time again, before they head back home to the hustle and bustle of city life and normalcy.

Bubbles and I spent a bit over an hour walking the lagoon and the beach trying to find some photographic opportunities this afternoon, but it seemed that the local wildlife went for a nana nap. We got some nice afternoon light, but nothing much to specifically photograph.


Hopefully, we will have more opportunities this week.

Meanwhile I am trying to sneak some study in and finish my next assignment. It may be a little more complex than I expected. Eep!

I'll get there.

Nite all.
