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!!

Too Weathery

While I was keen to open the shop today with a plan B for using my time productively if the people did not come, the weather decided to put on a miserable performance which kept most of the world indoors.

The two highlights of my day were a phone call from my friend Rebel Mardi and a visit from Aggie.

I spent the rest of my time serving a few customers and working on my newsletter.

I took photos of the art from Saturday’s workshop ...








that’s just a few of the feathery pieces.

It was nice to come home and put my feet up to watch the football this afternoon and I baked a leg of lamb with baked veggies and gravy for dinner.

One of my art ladies gave me some gluten free brownies so I had three little pieces with raspberries and whipped cream. It was delicious but the dairy has given me a runny nose. There’s always something.

Adoring Husband and I both went to bed at 8.30pm and while I watched one of my favourite movies, “The Holiday”, I did some doodling ...


I reckon with a bit of practice I could improve and get something decent happening with the doodle technique.

Anyway, it’s almost midnight so it’s sleep time for me.

Nite all.
