Age Challenged rQQzy: More Artifying

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!!

More Artifying

After breakfast and after giving Harley 30 minutes playing time, I joined BGWLBH in the art space and started on this …

It was very therapeutic but there is still a long way to go. It will be finished off with gold leaf too, which will be an interesting exercise because I’ve never applied gold leaf before. Watch this space.

Chicklet received her birthday gifts today and seems to have enjoyed them.

Tonight I cooked mango chilli chicken with fresh mango and served it with potato patties that I made with last nights leftover mash, fresh beans and carrot.

I did some toad hunting tonight after I found one very large specimen sitting in Harley’s outside water bowl! I almost stood on one when I opened the art space sliding door too. They are big buggers! They freak me out.

We played some trivia before watching Australian Task Master.

It will soon be midnight so I should sleep.
