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!!

Olympic Ready

Harley swam 32 lengths of our pool today, even touching and pushing off on the wall at most ends! That’s the equivalent of 256 metres which is more than five lengths of an Olympic swimming pool!

That was after playing ‘fetch’ for 30 minutes.

He has a LOT of energy.

Thank goodness we have a pool for his exercising pleasure and he absolutely loves it in the water so that’s a bonus.

I painted another octopus today. I’m still not happy but it’s much better than the last one …

I’m hoping that it will be third time’s a charm when I try again in a couple of days.

That was my day … Harley and art, my quiz shows and cooking dinner which was potato bake, balsamic grilled tomatoes, charred zucchini, steamed snow peas and lamb cutlets.

MAFS was intriguing as usual.

Now I’m ready to sleep.





Nite all.
