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!!

Manic Monday

We had such a lot to do in The Bay.

I had a list, but I took a couple of the less important things off the list before we even got in the car because they were frivolous visits to expensive boutiques - ‘Luxe’ and ‘Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves’ - and time was fairly tight wth all that we needed to do.

Tinkerbells could NOT be taken off the list.

I purchased a smokey quartz ring and put a bracelet on layby and then set my eyes on a gorgeous pendant that I will definitely make mine if it’s still there on my next visit!

We drove to Bunnings so that I could replace the 8 litres of Floetrol that we used in the last art class.

We picked up the specialist referral from Adoring Husband’s doctor (just a renewal for the Parkinson’s professor).

Stocklands received some of my money when I found a cropped denim jacket, two cotton singlet tops and two t-shirts - after all that culling of my wardrobe, I had to fill some empty space!

Grocery shopping of course.

Next we drove to Urangan Fisheries where we bought 3 sand crabs and 1 kg of king prawns. 

The dental surgery needed to issue AH with some paperwork to read and sign before his appointment, so that was our second last stop.

Cocoas for AH’s afternoon coffee and I decided to try one of their smoothies - not a fan - had four mouthfuls and threw the rest out when we got home. It was pineapple, mango, passionfruit and banana but tasted very bland.

We picked up our mail from the post office on the way home and there were some small packages with new stock for the shop.

I made fresh crab sandwiches for my dinner and I’m feeling pretty worn out now.

I think I need to sleep.



Nite all.
