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!!

Doris Night

I’ve just finished watching two Doris Day movies.

Calamity Jane and Pillow Talk.

I adore Doris Day.

I made myself poached eggs for a late breakfast and sat at the table chatting with BGWLBH while she ironed.

I was a bit productive today and spent an hour in my old art space doing some more clearing - which involved decluttering some clothes, unwrapping some crystals from the shop and transferring them to my big rose quartz bowl, moving some books, adding to my lead pencil collection and re-organising my art pens/pencils, water colour pens, textas, pastels, highlighters and other assorted drawing implements.

The whale photos from last Thursday finally got edited, although there weren’t as many as usual due to the fact that the whales were quite a distance from the boat this trip.








After I’d had enough of that, I sat under the Bali hut for an hour enjoying the sound of the wind chimes hanging above me. 

I dipped my toes in the pool water but it’s still not quite warm enough for a swim.

My afternoon was spent lying in bed for an hour before enjoying a messy hour in the kitchen preparing spicy coated chicken with garlic butter asparagus and roasted cherry tomato with onion.

We played trivia for a while before discovering Calamity Jane on Foxtel.

I’m not sure what tomorrow will bring. I have no plans but I do have a number of options so I’ll just wait and see.





Nite all.
