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!!

Drenching

Our morning with the art girls at the Lions Park was abruptly cut short when a storm appeared and absolutely hammered us! The winds were cyclonic and the raindrops BIG and FULL!

This is what I looked like after running about 20 feet through the storm to the car …

Harley was a little bit restless during the morning but reasonably well behaved.

Adoring Husband had driven into The Bay to run some errands so when we arrived home, I cooked a late breakfast (10am) and we adjourned to the art room where BGWLBH completed 3 pieces of art and started 2 others while I still haven’t fully completed my zebras! Just a couple of finishing touches left …

Very therapeutic.

I’m not sure what I’ll try next.

I made fruit smoothies for everyone at 1.30pm, watched my quiz shows and dozed on the couch before making duck breast with chilli mulberry sauce and served with mash, beans, carrots and charred zucchini for dinner.

Vegan Chickie and Mr Perfect are celebrating their second wedding anniversary today. Happy anniversary you two and may there be many more just as happy as the last 2!

The weather has been very squally and unpredictable today and it seems the forecast is for similar weather over the next week or so. Harley will be tearing his fur out missing out on his swims and exercise. I will be tearing my hair out while he turns into a fruit loop!

Oh! AH purchased, at my request, one these today …

It should be fun playing this with Harley.

Anyway, sleep time for me now.


Nite all.
