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!!

A Watery End

The usual Tuesday morning coffee date saw 5 of us at the table this morning.

Aggie, The Blonde Bombshell, The Welsh Wonder and Maid Marian sat with me over coffee until just after 10.30am. Drs appointments and other commitments sent everyone scuttling a little earlier than usual.

I picked up the mail and took it to the shop. My calendars arrived and these are a few of the photos ...







While I was there I washed the last of the paint buckets full of cups, cloths and paddle pop sticks that had been sitting in the shop kitchen for over a week 😳

I got home well after midday and Adoring Husband was busily clearing out our hot garage so that he could store even more crap in there! I prepared a nibbly lunch and gave him a little assistance before we sat down to eat.

I got some washing done, partially cleaned the bathroom, cleaned the toilet and then spent the afternoon in the pool. After about an hour, The Motivator joined me and we floated, stretched, swam some laps and chatted for another hour.

The water was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our time together.

Dinner was leftover corned beef with a big fat salad, which was the easiest thing I could come up with because I didn’t come in from the pool until 6pm which is when we are usually sitting down to dinner!

So all in all I had a very pleasant day.

I plan on meditating tomorrow because it’s the final session for 2019, so it will be an early night for me.

Nite all.
