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!!

Cancelled Date

Kind of lucky the my date with The Gypsy was cancelled because I didn’t get to sleep until 3am!

I woke at 7am and got out of bed at 9am and went straight to the pool where I swam 30 laps. That’s 240 metres which is almost the equivalent of five lengths of an Olympic pool. I wonder if my arms will hurt tomorrow?

When I came inside I roasted some pumpkin to make a pumpkin, spinach and pine nut salad.

For my lunch I made a tuna and avocado dip and crackers. It was light.

Then I needed to lie down and rest. I was very tired from my lack of sleep so I napped. It was quite blissful and there were a few scuds of light rain during the afternoon.

We had an early dinner of salmon steak with salads.

We finally finished the game of trivia and I won! Wahoo!

MAFS was again entertaining.




Sorry about that last one haha but it’ll be here before you know it!

I think I will attempt to catch up on my sleep now.

Nite all.
