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!!

Little Power

I won $42 on Powerball.

Nowhere near the $120 million that I was hoping for but that’s life.

For some strange reason, I woke at 5am today, but I fell asleep again at 7am and woke at 9.10am. Very strange.

I swam 14 laps this morning. My arms were a little bit tender from the 30 laps that I swam yesterday but not too bad. If the weather allows it, I’ll step it up again tomorrow.

BGWLBH put together a grazing platter for Adoring Husband’s lunch and I had a cup of tea.

I found a catalogue book of different suppliers of bags, clothes, home decor, clocks, candles, jewellery and other goodies so I browsed through it writing down websites so that I can check out the products before I order … IF I order.

Still undecided.

Even though the mask mandates will be gone in a week, the “emergency” order has been extended for 6 months which means they have something else planned and I don’t think I want my business to be involved.

I spent an hour in front of the TV before making dinner.

BGWLBH made skewers full of devils on horseback which AH cooked on the barbecue. I made fried rice and there were salads.

We played trivia - no winner yet.

The new series of First Dates started tonight so we watched that.

Now it’s almost midnight and I’m ready for sleep.



Nite all.
