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!!

Is Winter Over?

The End of Medicine (Spectator Australia news item)

It was a pleasant and mild morning down at the park for our morning catch up with the art girls.

We were running late so had to skip past Beauty who was out walking her dog but we called out a quick hullo!

We did some produce swapping. Lettuce for duck eggs. Good deal!

There were only four of us today. One was whale watching with visiting family, one had her car in for service and studying for exams, one was working and one promised to be with us next week.

We were on our way home before 11am.

BGWLBH and I then drove to Salty Squid for takeaway lunch.

Two Fajita Bowls with chicken and one Greek Prawns. While we waited, we walked down to the boat ramp which is currently receiving a make over and then wandered through the Goodies gift shop where I purchased some new slippers and some coasters.

By the time we arrived home, the food was no longer hot, but still warm enough to enjoy. My Greek Prawns had too many black olives, but aside from that, very, very nice.

Adoring Husband had spent the morning in The Bay emptying out Bunnings (again) and picking up the FROG box.

After lunch, I emptied the FROG box, put on my new slippers, made a cup of Women’s Vitality tea, checked to see if the first layer of my art was dry (not quite), gathered my sketch pad and pencils and did no sketching … although it is early yet (4pm) and I may do some later.

I’m watching my quiz shows right now and trying to figure out what to do for dinner. Something light after such a big lunch.

Later …

Leftover roast chicken and salad for dinner. AH had the leftover chicken sausages from last night. Nothing for dessert - although I did munch on two big fat strawberries that we bought from Childers.

I’m watching the Beauty and the Geek finale and we are at the end. It’s going to go way over time.

Aaron and Karly won!!

It’s time for me to go to bed.



Nite all.
