Age Challenged rQQzy: Nothing Day

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!!

Nothing Day

I got nothin’

I stayed in bed watching episodes of The Great Pottery Throw Down.

After 4pm I got out of bed, showered and made my way into the kitchen to prepare “Creamy Garlic & Mushroom Chicken” with stir fried snow peas.

It was quite delicious.

Fruit whip for dessert.

I watched the Broncos lose to the Cowboys and returned to bed.

I have Wimbledon on the TV where four Aussies are doing very well. Ajla Tomljanovic is now into the fourth round. Alex De Minaur has won his first 2 sets. Jason Kubler is into the fifth set with his nose just in front but it could go either way. Nick Kyrgios has to play 4th seed Stefanos Tsitsipas some time today and needs to play at his best to have any chance at all - however, he is quite capable of winning.

That’s if from me.

It has been a lovely day in bed listening to the rain through my bedroom window.

Now I’m off to focus on Wimbledon.
