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!!

Go the Girlies

I sacrificed my Sunday in bed for fun with the girls.

Aggie picked me up at 9.30am and for the first time in a long time, I sat in the back of the car.

Not a good idea.

Steady breaths. Finding a focal point. Ignoring the bumps. Wishing away the nausea.

It was a long 40 minutes, but we made it intact!

We were led to our reserved table at ‘Salt’ where we ordered our drinks, took a photo of the view …

… chatted for a while, browsed in the nearby shop and moved on to our next destination.

Dayman’s set aside our own private room for lunch …

… and the food was very good, as was the liver detox juice. The service was great. We laughed a lot. We talked about important stuff and silly stuff and all the stuff in between.

On the walk back to the car, while Beauty was admiring a garden full of produce, she was offered a pawpaw from the gardener, which she whole heartedly accepted!

We drove to Stocklands shopping centre where we all browsed or shopped.

It was a short shopping trip and we drove home earlier than usual. 

I have to say that I was exhausted by the time I climbed out of the car.

Adoring Husband made me a cup of ‘Happy’ tea which I took to bed for a little break.

I think I dozed for about 20 minute and then I lay in bed watching the football on my iPad.

We had chicken and vegetable soup for dinner.

Now I need to sleep.




Nite all.
