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!!

Sickly Patient

BGWLBH is very unwell.

She began feeling poorly on Tuesday afternoon, feeling progressively worse each day and today has been horrible for her. 

I’ve given her two juices (pineapple, mango, orange, passionfruit and coconut water) and two bottles of water. I offered her chicken and vegetable broth for dinner but all she wanted was a bucket.

Poor thing. I wish I could fix her.

I wasn’t motivated to do much at all today.

Swept the floor. Watered the garden and the plants that didn’t get rained on. Played with Harley. Cooked dinner for Adoring Husband. Watched a movie. Watched the football. Phoned Vegan Chickie for her birthday - 43 today! I had a nap on the couch.

My Coles delivery arrived with an extra item that I hadn’t ordered! Unfortunately it wasn’t something that we can use - ravioli that isn’t gluten free - bugger.

I’m still desperately awaiting Chicklet’s letter in the mail. Proof that she mailed it …

That was on Monday. Parcels seem to arrive faster than letters.

Harley during play today.

Now it’s time to sleep.




Nite all.
