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!!

Perfect Day

Harley slept from 8.30pm - 5am so I had a wonderful night of uninterrupted slumber. A great start to the day!

After breakfast, it was swimming time and even though the water was a little on the chilly side, I eased my way in and swam a dozen laps and floated in the warm sunshine before climbing out and sharing some fresh watermelon with BGWLBH.

I lay down on the outdoor lounge and dozed to the sound of wind chimes and rustling Bali grass.

BGWLBH invited me to join her in the art space where she created some beautiful art which I am not permitted to share here BUT I can share mine.

It’s pretty basic and unexciting but my first effort with pastel pieces. I’m sure I’ll improve over time, if I practice enough.

I watched some Portrait Artist of the Year shows as well as my quiz shows.

Dinner was bangers and mash with beans and carrots and home made onion gravy.

Harley was pretty good and slept a lot today. When he was awake he was happily chewing on big bones or playing with his toys so no damage or mischief to report … for a change!

Best get some sleep while he is asleep!








Nite all.
