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 Giggle

Let’s start this post with a giggle ... Sarah Millican is always good for that!

Let’s follow that with some education and learn some Spanish ...

  • The Spanish word for ‘bread’ is PAN
  • The Spanish word for ‘beach’ is PLAYA
  • The Spanish word for ‘swimming pool’ is PISCINA
  • The Spanish word for ‘dog’ is PERRO
So ...
“walk your dog on the beach” becomes “pasear a su perro en la playa” and
“eat some bread by the pool” becomes “comer pan junto a la piscina”

If you change the “ate” at the end of our English words to “ar”, it becomes Spanish. For example:

  • celebrate becomes celebrar
  • activate becomes activar
  • calculate becomes calcular
  • create becomes crear 
  • operate becomes operar 
That’s your mini Spanish lesson for the day. I’m not sure why I chose Spanish, but there you go ... you learn something new every day!

I had a most pleasant day today and changed it up a bit by spending a couple of hours here ...


The water was 25°C which is way too cold for Adoring Husband but he came outside in the fresh air to read under the Bali hut while I swam and stretched and exercised and soaked up that beautiful sunshine ☀️

Afterwards, I did this ...


Cucumber, celery, spinach, apple, mint, coconut water, filtered water, tonic water and 6 drops of zinc.

THEN it was back to Grey’s Anatomy!

Hainan Chicken for dinner.


 

Nite all.
