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!!

Weekend End

Well, it's the end of another weekend and I've been home from my holiday for over a week! How time flies.

There are three things that I have forgotten to do over the last week or more.

I was supposed to print out a photo that I took of a lady at the Village Voices fund raiser before I went on holidays, but forgot all about it.

I was supposed to deliver a photo to 'The Leggy Blonde' before I went on holidays and then wanted to do it last week, but didn't do it.

I was supposed to go to the Volunteer Fire Brigade shed on Wednesday just gone, to take photos of their new machinery .. and even though I put a reminder on my computer calendar, I didn't go into my laptop (unusually so) that day, so didn't get the reminder. I forgot about that too.

Honestly, I really have to get my act together. I have to get back into a routine and I have to make a 'to do' list each day, so that hopefully, I won't forget this stuff. I think the cold weather has sent my brain into hibernation.

Today, I got some study in and I also watched a dvd. I finished off the beef bone broth and did some washing. I did a little cooking .. nothing very delicious .. I feel like I've lost my kitchen mojo without my oven working. Hopefully the oven guy will turn up this Wednesday.

It's 10.30pm and I'm going to bed as soon as I sign off here.

Tomorrow morning, I'm going to wake up to a fresh start, a new routine and a more motivated me. I have an exam this week, so I need to be on my game!

No photos or videos or recipes to share today, so this is short and sweet.

Nite all.
