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!!

Perfectly Pleasant

The weather was perfectly pleasant today and after my cooked breakfast of poached eggs, I sat under the Bali hut with my cup of tea for about an hour.

While Adoring Husband and BGWLBH watched The Umbrella Academy on TV, I decided to clear some more stuff out of my old art space. Some of it came to my new art space and some of it got tossed but even after 90 minutes, there’s still a way to go!

I was tempted to do some art, but I have four projects on the go at the moment and I was about to start a fifth when I realised that I need to finish something before starting number five.

My table needs at least another month to cure before I can coat it with resin so that’s not an option.

I need a hot glue gun to go on to the next step of my textured shell art. AH will grab one of those for me tomorrow while he’s in The Bay.

That leaves my underwater reef and my octopus acrylics to complete.

I need to be careful not to have too many projects unfinished or I’ll just overwhelm myself!

I watched my quiz shows and prepared a lasagne with salad for dinner, followed by fruit whip for dessert. Pineapple, banana, passionfruit and strawberry with coconut cream.

We played TV trivia for more than an hour before the football started.

Thankfully, I did not tip my team tonight and they lost to the Roosters. It was a disappointing game.

It’s almost 11.30pm and I’m feeling quite weary so it’s sleep time for me.





Nite all.
