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!!

Back to the River

I was only able to stay awake until about 1am watching Ash Barty play the Wimbledon final. I fell asleep part way through the third set and woke up to the sound of the commentators yelling excitedly when she won!

She is a champion sportsperson and a champion human being.

It was well after 2pm when I got back to sleep and the next time I opened my eyes, it was 8.15am.

I stayed in bed until 10am.

Adoring Husband went off to work mowing lawns so I got up and prepared the chook for roasting and chopped up the vegetables also for roasting. 

I heated up the leftover shepherds pie for our lunch.

Series 3 of ‘Virgin River’ on Netflix became available on Friday 9th July (not the 7th) and today, after lunch, we sat down to begin bingeing.

By the time the roast dinner was ready, I was still satisfied from lunch so I served it up for AH and skipped dinner myself.

We watched the last 20 minutes of football, a story on Little Richard and then flicked between channels watching ‘Farmer Wants a Wife’ and ‘Beauty and the Geek’.

I hope to stay awake to watch the Men’s Wimbledon final but it doesn’t start til 11pm which is still an hour away and I’m just not sure if I have enough motivation to push myself.

My girl’s lunch has been postponed until next week so I have most of Monday to myself. There is still plenty of mess to clean up after the art class so that is my mission in the afternoon.

Otherwise, I’m having a lazy Monday.




Nite all.
