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!!

Moving Fast

Early this morning, our yard was full of workers waiting for the big yellow truck to bring the concrete.

Not a lot was happening for a couple of hours - just double checking the formwork and plenty of talk and laughter.

Once it all started, it was full on! It was loud and messy and busy ...





... the 'blind' guy arrived an hour after the concreting had begun so that he could take the measurements for the indoor/outdoor kitchen. We selected colours before he left and then Adoring Husband had a meeting at SES and I had a meeting at The Happy Abode.

The Motivator and I did some catching up and I checked out the new stock that arrived yesterday. I served a couple of customers when it got really busy and a little after 2.30pm I met up with AH who had come to buy coffee and we left to rendezvous at The Motivator's house to pick up some cardboard.

When I arrived home, we inspected the pool site and I took some photos before making myself presentable for the usual Friday night at the club.

It was an unlucky night for all of us and the club was very busy and full of tourists and very loud. Having said that, the bus was relatively empty for the first trip home so the drive was short.

Can you believe it's already after 11pm?

Time for bed.

Have a great weekend.


Nite all.
