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!!

Digging It

We had an early and noisy start to the day when a team of men with a noisy piece of machinery came to level the ground beneath the carport to lay some concrete.

So far, we are very impressed with their work ethic, their communication skills and their kindness and empathy. 

They are doing everything in their power to do the right thing by Adoring Husband and getting specific with drainage, increasing the distance from the slab to the roof and doing some added extras.

Even though they were fighting among themselves briefly, we are happy with the job so far.

Harley was excited to see some men and went in for the waggy tail pat. He was very well behaved. No barking or whining and just allowed the men to get on with the job.

Harley and I had some fun today and he climbed all over me after he’d been swimming in the pool, then lay across me to prevent me from leaving. He makes me laugh.

I did a little bit more on my art.

A few hours of TV.

BGWLBH drove into The Bay.

I cooked lamb rack with buttery potato and sweet potato and stir fried beans, broccoli and carrots for dinner.

MAFS

Now it’s 11pm and it’s time to sleep.






Nite all.
