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!!

Quietly Does It

While BGWLBH was attending an appointment and Adoring Husband was out mowing lawns for work, I had two hours of quiet time.

It was the second time in a year that I had time all alone just for me.

It was lovely.

Harley and I had lots of play time today, mostly around the pool playing fetch and we had lots of cuddles, sometimes dripping wet cuddles and sometimes dry fluffy cuddles. I love Harley cuddles.

I did a couple of loads of washing, bagged some bread, started prepping Harley’s food for the week, watched a movie, had a short nap, cooked fishnchipsnasparagus for dinner.

I wrapped king salmon fillets with lemon slices, salt, pepper and butter in baking paper and cooked them in the oven for 30 minutes. They turned out great. I did sweet potato and plain potato chips as well as buttered asparagus with garlic.

It’s now almost 11pm and I’m tired so …




Nite all.
