Age Challenged rQQzy: Unexpected That Was

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!!

Unexpected That Was

I looked at the whale photos today and some of them are pretty bloody good … even if I do say so myself!

I will edit them tomorrow and hopefully post some here tomorrow night.

BGWLBH and I drove into The Bay today to purchase a mop bucket for Adoring Husband. His work bucket broke and currently he is having problems with his shoulder and sometimes the pain is so bad, he can’t drive because turning the steering wheel hurts.

So we did a run to Bunnings and along with the bucket, we bought some potting mix.

We drove over to the Boat Club to book and pay for our next whale watching trip on 21st August. We became members last year so that we could get cheaper rates for whale watching. We lunched while we were there.

Officeworks got a visit from us, as well as the newsagent in Scarness, the bakery and Urangan Fisheries.

We arrived home quite late so I played with and fed Harley, shelled my sand crabs and king prawns, made the marinade for our chicken and then sat.

It’s now way after midnight so …
