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!!

Big Day

After just 4 hours sleep, I caught the train to the Sunny Coast at 5.45am today.  I slept most of the way which made the trip seem very short!

The Nikonian was waiting at the station, with her big happy smile, and we spent the day shopping and visiting and chatting and laughing and planning.

So to cut to the chase ... here are some facebook quotes ...






... and I am exhausted and ready for sleep before 9.30pm.

I don't know what the access is like for internet at Bunya Mountains, so if I don't post here for a couple of days, don't panic ... I will catch you up after the weekend.

I'm excited about what awaits us!

Nite all.

Packing

Yes, I am packing my suitcase and ready to head off to Bunya Mountains tomorrow, so no big post today.

I'm sharing this video about Transcendental Meditation because I'm going to try it.  I'm hoping that it will clear my head and make it easier to learn and remember what I've learned!  I'm having some trouble with 'retention' lately.



Anyway, it's almost midnight, so I'd best get some sleep.

Nite all.


Just Bee-ing

#100happydays photo for today ...


Happiness is just bee-ing :)

Adoring Husband arrived home safe n sound from his SES training in Marburg, after a detour to visit his granddaughter Evie and new little grandson, Seth for a couple of days.  Perhaps I'll get to share his photos after he downloads them!

I got a little studying done today, although I got a little frustrated at some calculations that I'm having trouble with, so I had to step away from the computer and the books and I'll go back to it tomorrow.

I'm off to Bunya Mountains on Friday with The Nikonian, The Craft Queen, Mellylicious, Jman and Mr W.  We have a big weekend of photography planned and I'm pretty excited about it!

So it's time for me to get some sleep.  Big day of packing and cooking and menu planning tomorrow.

Nite all.

I'm here

Just so that you know I'm here .. because I have nothing to say tonight ...




I really thought this was very cool ...


Time for bed.

Nite all.

Satisfying Sunday

I had a lazy Sunday morning in bed and didn't leave the house until after 9am.

It was too late for the Seat of Knowledge, so I got myself a coffee and then pedalled to the beach.

The tide was almost all the way out, so I gathered my camera gear and went in search of some treasures.

I spent two whole hours out there and then got myself another cup of coffee before I headed home to check out my photos.

I could have spent the whole day playing with the photos, but instead, I edited three of them and then got stuck into some studying.




I feel like I haven't made the most of my studying opportunity today, so I'll make up for it tomorrow.

It's way after midnight, so I'm off to bed.

Nite all.
