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!!

Reduced Fitness

Well, having eleven days without any form of exercise has reduced Harley’s fitness level considerably, so an hour chasing balls around the pool completely wore him out!



He was very quiet for the remainder of the day, with just a couple of brief energy bursts during the afternoon and evening.

We need to work on that.

While working on our art this morning, we suddenly lost SOME power. A few lights, the dishwasher, the fridges and our internet connection.

The trip switch was locked and to fix it, our electrician told us to turn off and unplug everything (and I mean EVERYTHING). This unlocked the trip switch so we could flip it back on, then one by one, we had to turn everything back on.

It was expected that during this process, we would discover which electrical appliance caused the partial blackout.

We didn’t.

Nobody knows what caused it and hopefully it will never happen again and it will remain a mystery.

We lost a good hour of art time.

BGWLBH and I drove out to Farm Gate to grab some fruit and veg, then popped into the supermarket to buy some junk food.

I baked some cupcakes with lemon icing.

Mixed up a batch of Harley dog food for the week.

Made the marinade for the chicken early in the day so the chicken had a good 7 hours to soak in all that goodness.

We played trivia before the football started and the team I tipped lost by one point.

Ugh.

It’s now way after midnight so I should sleep!






Nite all.
