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!!

Chilly Az

I would have liked to stay in my warm bed this morning.

Out of necessity, I forced myself to get up and actually arrived at work 30 minutes early!

It was a good day for sales and the morning passed quickly.

AH arrived with time to order lunch and we ate that together before we started our planned rearranging.




It was probably a mistake leaving the shop open while we worked because there were a lot of interruptions and all we got done was the shelving in the training room and by then, I was done. It was almost 4pm by the time we got home and both our energy levels were pretty low by then.

We parked ourselves on the couch and watched “Stand By Me” - I can’t believe AH had never seen it before today! It’s one of those iconic movies from the 80s with big names like River Phoenix, Kiefer Sutherland, Will Wheaton, Corey Feldman, Jerry O’Connell and Richard Dreyfus.

Worst of all, I don’t think he was impressed.

I made myself a delicious cauliflower and mushroom soup for dinner. I reckon it’s the nicest soup I’ve ever made and I savoured and delighted in every single mouthful.

AH had pork chops from my winning meat tray accompanied by cauliflower and pumpkin and a mushroom gravy.

It’s now almost 9pm and I’m ready for bed. Looking forward to a sleep in tomorrow and the chance to stay snuggly warm under the covers for as long as I like.




Nite all.

Back from Hospital (ReHab) after breaking my hip. I’m told I look well and I know I am walking well. Grannymus x
