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!!

Relaxing

A satisfying story to start the day …

A wealthy man walked into a bar in Miami. As soon as he entered, he noticed an African woman, sitting in one corner. He walked over to the counter, removed his wallet and shouted, "Bartender! I'm buying drinks for everyone in this bar, except that woman over there!"

The bartender collected the money and began serving free drinks to everyone in the bar, except the African woman. Instead of becoming upset, the woman simply looked up at the guy and shouted, "Thank you!"

This infuriated the wealthy guy. So once again, he took out his wallet and shouted, "Waiter! This time I am buying bottles of wine and additional food for everyone in this bar, except for that African sitting in the corner over there!"

The bartender collected the money from the man and began serving free food and wine to everyone in the bar except the African. When the waiter finished serving the food and drinks, the African woman simply smiled at the man and said, Thank you!"

That made him furious. So he leaned over the counter and asked the bartender, "What is wrong with that woman.. I have bought food and drinks for everyone in this bar except for her, and instead of becoming angry, she just sits there, smiles at me and shouts 'Thank you.' Is she mad"

The bartender smiled at the wealthy man and said, "No, she is not mad. She is the OWNER of this establishment."

May our enemies work unknowingly in our favour.......


Harley was very happy on my lap in front of the TV while I was watching the footy tonight.





Aside from the Harley walk and play this morning, I did nothing but watch the new series of ‘And Just Like That’

I am watching the tennis with Djokovic vs Sinner at the moment. Djokovic is playing well.

I hope it’s a quick win for Novak because I have to be up early in the morning to head into the markets! I’d appreciate a few hours sleep before I go.

On that note …




Nite all.
