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!!

Cyclonic

Cyclone Marcia has made her presence felt up north and created havoc, as well as horrific damage to homes and business and beaches.

We should be feeling her presence during the night and are expecting winds of up to 100 kph as well as heavy rains, so I'm off to bed. Hopefully, I will sleep through it .. or at least get some good sleep before she hits us.

Fingers crossed that she eases so much that we barely notice her presence!

Adoring Husband has been very busy with SES duties and is currently asleep in his recliner chair so I think I will wake him and we should hit the sack.

The rain is has just started and it is VERY heavy.

Wish us luck.

Nite all.
