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!!

Self Care

Ive had a nice day.

After I enjoyed my morning coffee in bed, I got up to bathe psychotic dog Ruby’s face and eyes ... yet again.

I had a shower to make myself presentable for a public outing on my trike. It was such a beautiful day for it, so I rode for about 30 minutes as well as shopping at the butcher and supermarket.

When I arrived home I made a mint condition juice and sliced up a big chunk of of watermelon which we took outside to the Bali hut. The water was way too chilly for swimming, so we made ourselves comfortable and Adoring Husband read his book while I continued my education on YouTube.

This was my favourite pick for the day.

This 11 minute video explains very simply how your internal glands, organs and immune system respond to protect you depending on the thoughts you think. (Ignore the strange, irrelevant title)



It’s the reason why I don’t watch or listen to the news - because fear, stress and anger - even in small doses, has a damaging affect inside and out.

Afterwards I did a load of washing and prepared dinner.

The day passed so quickly! We only squeezed in one episode of Grey’s Anatomy.







Now it’s almost 1am so I need sleep so that I can be awake in time for a very important phone call in the morning.

Nite all.
