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!!

Not My Usual

I woke before 7am.

Adoring Husband came into the room just after 8am asking if I wanted breakfast so I jumped out of bed to poach the eggs while he did the bacon in the air fryer and toasted the bread.

We all enjoyed our yummy breakfast.

I returned to my room to watch the second half of a show I’d started earlier.

Then the big chore of the day for me was my hand washing which I have been putting off for months. I have so many silk and delicate tops and I hand washed 14 of them today. It took 90 minutes! Most of them needed fresh water each time because of dye run, so emptying and refilling the tub was time consuming.

Most of them dried in the strong breeze blowing outside the laundry and the others are currently drying IN the laundry. I’m so glad I’m done with that chore.

I did another two loads of machine washing and put away some other dry stuff from the line.

I watched the footy with Adoring Husband and in between games made a chicken dish with laksa paste, pear and onion. I also cooked chard, cherry tomatoes, bacon and roasted sweet potato together. Finally, carrot, snap peas and snow peas. 

As BGWLBH said, there’s nothing nicer than eating fresh organic food taken straight from the garden, knowing it was grown with love.

We played TV trivia for an hour until our shows came on. Farmer Wants a Wife which started tonight for me and still The Block for her.

I have certainly missed my lazy Sunday in bed, that’s for sure, but I’m pleased to have that horrible job out of the way.








Off to bed for me now.

Nite all.
