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 Perfect Day

I woke up feeling much better than the day before.

More energised. More motivated. More inspired.

I had the BEST day with my girls.

Exhausting, but fun.

We shopped, we ate, we laughed, we walked and we talked.

The weather was perfect, the food was delicious, the view was special and the company was fabulous.




I had a bit of a spree and purchased two pairs of boots and one pair of shoes ...



Two tops, a pair of white bottoms, 3 gifts and a white fringed kaftan to wear over my swimmers.

Almost seven hours together!

I think we were all very weary by the end of the day and couldn’t wait to get home and put our feet up.

Adoring Husband was asleep on the couch when I walked in the door.

I threw some chicken drumsticks in a baking tray and sprinkled them with thyme, salt and pepper. I lay slices of lemon over the top and put them in the oven for 30 minutes. I removed the lemon and drizzled honey over the chicken and turned up the heat for another 10 minutes.

Delicious.

I can’t believe it’s now 11pm. 

Why aren’t I asleep?

Nite all.
