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!!

Early Rising

Harley woke me at 5.15am so I took him outside to pee and then brought him back to bed for 45 minutes. I wasn’t able to fall asleep but it was nice to just lie in silence and meditate for some of the time.

A nice way to start my day.

I sent Adoring Husband to the shop for some bacon and made bacon and eggs for BGWLBH and AH. I made French toast with banana, bacon and maple syrup for myself.

AH received a phone call providing a quote to repair his mower. It’s a LOT but hopefully we’ll get another couple of years out of it. It’s 14 years old so it’s served us well.

I spent some time with Harley in the pool area and after AH got back from his coffee date, BGWLBH and I drove into The Bay.

We had a list which took us about 3 hours to complete and we arrived home at 3.30pm.

I spent another hour with Harley playing soccer and fetch. We need a better quality soccer ball because his teeth have pierced the cheap one we have. He’s a great soccer player!

We had the usual Friday night fare for dinner.

We watched 2 games of footy. Auckland Warriors defeated Newcastle Knights by 8 points and my beloved Broncos defeated last years premiers, Penrith Panthers, by one point! What a game!

After 3 games, I’m leading the tipping comp.

Now it’s late and we are off to an early start tomorrow to visit Howard markets, so I’d best get some sleep.


.Nite all.
