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!!

Feeling My Age

Luckily for me, I had a good night’s sleep because it was an early start for me and I was at the shop at 7.30am setting up for the art class.

Bubbles joined the table and created some art too so there were 6 of us, including me.


It was a fun group with a couple of new ladies. It seems the email that I sent out to ten people last week didn’t reach its destination, so that’s why our class was a bit short.

There was the usual hearty laughter during the class as well as the long silences as we all focussed on the job at hand.







It seems everyone was happy with their effort.





By the time the class was over and most of the mess was cleaned up, my feet were killing me and I was exhausted!







The only thing to do was jump in the pool to cool down and soak up some magnesium to soothe the tired legs!

I cooked up a roast lamb with veggies for dinner and at 7.20pm I looked at the clock and groaned because I was certain it was 9pm!! The best I could do was push it to 8pm and then I dragged myself to bed only to be informed by Adoring Husband that he’d made up the dog food today but left it in the pot on the stove, so we dragged ourselves OUT of bed to get that organised.

I’m done now.

Happy Sunday to you all 😎

Nite all
