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!!

Not In It

I felt a little discombobulated all day.

Getting out of bed was hard work and all I could manage was one load of washing which was followed by a touch of vertigo that led me back to bed where I napped briefly and watched some YouTube until our pre-warned power outage happened right on the dot of 4pm.

That was my cue to test the pool water, which was just the right temperature for swimming, so I changed into swimmers this time and jumped right in.

I’d only swum four laps when the power returned and the creepy crawly decided to play tag with me.

After I got dried and dressed, I decided to attempt some creativity but my heart just wasn’t in it.


I cleaned up a little but I really have to reorganise my art studio because I have a whole lot of new ‘stuff’ that doesn’t currently have a home and that ‘stuff’ is loosely scattered all over the place.

A girl can’t set her creativity free in such a mess!

I got a bit creative for dinner and we had crispy (ish) skin chicken with roasted cauliflower steaks, buttered asparagus and mushroom & onion gravy.

I think I’m off to bed to sleep away my discombobulation.



Nite all.
