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!!

Christmas Cheer

BGWLBH and I arrived early at the park to set the table for our Christmas break up.

We had gifts for everybody, which BGWLBH made - ceramic bowls and cups filled with miniature succulents and delivered with hand made cards. 









I made a cheese ball with celery, capsicum, candied ginger and rolled in parsley and it went down well, but the banana bread was the hit of the morning and it was all gone within an hour. 

The weather was very mild, there were not too many people about, I took my sound bar and played Christmas music and we had a delightful morning that lasted until lunch time!

Harley stayed at home with Adoring Husband and I think they both slept the entire morning away.

At 4pm I took Harley for a walk around the block to meet my rear neighbour whose granddaughter was visiting and wanted to meet him.

On the way, an ‘across the road’ neighbour stopped mowing so that she could meet Harley. The Mayor of Burrum stopped in his ute to meet Harley. We spent 20 minutes with the rear neighbour and her grand daughter and on the final leg we ran into another neighbour who was walking her dog.

Harley was very well behaved the entire time.

I made honey, garlic, chilli lime chicken for dinner with sweet potato chips and balsamic tomatoes and zucchini. Delicious.

After dinner, we all jumped into the car, Harley included, and we drove around looking for Christmas lights. There were a few impressive displays and after about 30 minutes Harley got too restless so we conceded defeat and drove home.

Now I’m feeling exhausted and need sleep.


Nite all.
