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!!

Festival Fun

Covid Deaths 

We were up bright and early for our drive to Childers.

We were the second car in the church car park.

I spent a fortune on jewellery, plant hangers, signs, candles, mobile, black garlic paste, passionfruit sauce, balsamic vinegar and other stuff.

After two and a half hours, we were in the car ready to return home.









We totally missed the big crowds who were marching in as we left. A six kilometre queue of cars was inching it’s way into town and we were grateful to have had a perfectly delightful morning with a clear path to all the stalls.

BGWLBH had spent the morning cleaning so a shiny clean house was waiting for us, which was lovely.

While BGWLBH and Adoring Husband watched weird stuff on TV, I napped out by the pool.

I watched the footy.

I made duck with mash and veg for dinner.

We played TV trivia until our shows came on and suddenly it was 10pm.

NOW it’s almost 1am and I NEED sleep.

AH has misplaced his wallet and we’ve spent 90 minutes searching high and low, to no avail. We’ll wait until light tomorrow to check everywhere again before we cancel cards. Very stressful for AH who has never lost a wallet in his life, but as I said, “It’s a terrible inconvenience, but it’s not the end of the world”

There has been no activity on the account so that a positive thing.

Anyway, sleep time for me.



Nite all.
