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!!

Out and About

BGWLBH had an appointment at St Stephens Hospital this morning so we left home early to have breakfast and run some errands beforehand.

We decided to try the new cafe, Table Eleven, on the esplanade (it used to be ‘Simply Wok’) but I can’t give you an honest review because we only had tea and toast. The service was very friendly and fast,  the prices reasonable and the space was clean and fresh. I can’t comment on the food.

After breakfast, we tried to run some errands but, frustratingly, nothing was open before 9am!

So we drove to Stocklands where I purchased clothes and toys for Hazie’s 2nd birthday.

Then we headed to the hospital.

While she attended her appointment, I wandered down the street and found a Japanese Coffee House & Cafe where I ordered a small latte and some GF orange and almond cake.

The cafe was called RoZi 😊

Fancy that!

We then shopped at Nanas Pantry, Petbarn, Heaps Discount, Newsagent, Good Guys, Butcher, Coles, Chemist and I took a card and list of services from the foot massage place.

We stopped at BGWLBH’s storage shed to offload her art, then stopped at the supermarket, another butcher AND checked the mail on our way home.

We arrived home just after 2pm and it took almost an hour to unpack and put everything away!

I spent 15 minutes in the back yard with Harley and his new soccer ball that I got at Petbarn. That was a lot of fun and he loved it!

I put my feet up for an hour to watch one of my quiz shows.

Had another hour with Harley in the pool area and another new bouncy ball.

I cooked snags and vegetables for dinner.

I caught up on all the recordings of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.

The time is now rapidly approaching midnight so I’d best sleep.


Nite all.
