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!!

Perfection

What a day on the water!

Absolutely perfect weather. The sun was shining and not a cloud in the sky. The water was every shade of blue imaginable - in fact when I was editing the photos, I had to tone down the blue in the water because it just didn’t look real!


There were about thirty people onboard, as well as five staff and it was a fast boat which was great because that gave us more time to look for whales. Not that we needed to look far because they were everywhere!

We spent half our time running from one side of the boat to the other and the rest of our time playing paparazzi.









It was a magical day. So much better than our trip last month. I have 60 good photos to show for it and we are going to try for another trip out in about 3 weeks.

So I’ve had a fantastic day.

Now we have two more sleeps til our trip to the Sunny Coast where we’ll spend five nights and we’ll catch up with Bubbles for a day and a half. I’m very much looking forward to this trip. It won’t make up for the two 60th birthday road trips that we missed over the last two years, but it’s a good start.

Time to make my packing list!

I’m exhausted after my big day and early start so I’ll watch Farmer Wants a Wife and then head to bed.






Nite all.
