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!!

Sleepathon

Can you believe that I was in bed by 8pm last night?!

I got out of bed just before 8am this morning!

Unbelievable!!

The last time I did that, was a few months ago, when I arrived home one Friday night from the Bowls Club very drunk and fell unconscious on the bed at about 7.30pm .. but I did wake up at about 1am and spent a good deal of time in the bathroom before collapsing on the bed again a couple of hours later.

Last night, I was very sober, and I woke up at midnight, got out of bed to find Adoring Husband sound asleep in his recliner lounge chair, so I returned to my bed and immediately fell right back to sleep.

It's been a LOT of years since I was able to sleep that many hours in one night and I certainly felt very good for it this morning.

My B&W photo for day 4 of the facebook challenge ...


... and our little Tawny chick continues to grow bigger every day ...


I had a very social morning today and didn't arrive home until lunch time. During my socialising, I got some great photos of a little Wattlebird chick sleeping in it's nest and then a couple of Pale Headed Rosellas eating buds from a Bottlebrush tree, which I will share with you tomorrow.

After crunching through some sand crab for lunch, my afternoon was very quiet. No cooking. No cleaning. Nothing exciting. No visitors.

A little bit of study and research on gallbladders and how they work when they're healthy and when they're not so healthy. There is always something new to learn about the human body and all the bits that make it up. Loving it.

So now I'm off to bed for my usual midnight sleep time.

Nite all.
