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!!

Another One Done

Another Christmas done and dusted.

Adoring Husband liked his new Cronulla shirt …

I loved my new amethyst crystal lamp …

I love all the gifts so carefully selected by Beautiful Girl With Long Blonde Hair. Here are a few including these cool hippy pants …




The weather was hot and muggy.

The storms kept us out of the pool.

We watched The Matrix on Netflix, followed by “Don’t Look Up” a parody of our current circumstances with some big names like Jennifer Laurence, Meryl Streep, Leonardo Di Caprio, Jonah Hill and Cate Blanchett. Depressing and poignant.

After that we watched an Aussie movie called “Drift”. 

I’ve just finished watching “Tick Tick Boom” 

Now I’ve started “Wide Open Sky” but it’s well after midnight so I doubt I’ll get through it tonight.

I made ham, eggs and tomato for Adoring Husband’s breakfast. I had ham steaks and caramelised pineapple - my favourite breakfast as a young child.

We totally missed lunch.

I did a quick potato salad and coleslaw to have with ham, crab, prawns and salad at dinner time.

Oh and I made a prawn cocktail for AH’s entree.

BGWLBH and I texted often during the day - both of us feeling a bit sad.

Vegan Chickie texted photos of their day as she and Mr Perfect hosted Christmas doing all of the catering themselves. It looked like a great day and Chicklet loved the lamp that I selected for her …


I hope you all enjoyed your day. I’ve seen some pics on Facebook and everybody looked happy and loved up, which was great to see.

Now we look to new year!

Nite all.
