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 Day In

I was not capable of ‘people-ing’ today.

I stayed in bed doing very little until Adoring Husband came in to ask what I wanted for lunch.

While we were in The Bay on Friday, I bought 1kg of green king prawns so they needed to be cooked today.

I fried them in the wok with garlic, butter and honey.

Delicious.

Back to bed for another few hours of nothingness.

Up to prepare dinner of Peking duck.

Back to bed at 8.30pm.

My nutrition today:  lemon water, chicken broth, coffee, water. Lunch of honey prawns and snow peas. Dinner of half a Peking duck breast with half a cup of rice. Dessert was frozen fruit whip of pineapple, banana, mango, coconut cream, coconut yoghurt, maple syrup and some salt.

We had a nice short sharp storm this evening with very strong winds and heavy rain. It blew the ottoman cushion around in the pool area and the rain forced its way through the screen into the outdoor kitchen area.

I have an infected finger.


Absolutely no idea why or how this has happened but I’m dipping it into colloidal silver every couple of hours. It’s hot and throbbing and tight and tender ... that’s my finger I’m talking about 🤪

Ouch.

I may require a pain killer to sleep but I’ll wait and see.


I’m hoping for another lazy day tomorrow.

Now it’s sleep time.

Nite all.
