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!!

Birthday Boy

Harley is one year old today!

These were his presents …


The little red chicken is now dead and buried. He chewed its legs off and busted the squeaker. The ball has been pierced by his teeth and the inner squeaker also busted. The meerkat is drenched with his spit and quite disgusting. Its squeaker is still intact.

He is happy!

BGWLBH and I checked out the spectacular and amazing orchid show today …




















Who knew there were so many varieties of orchids! We were awestruck and next year, when Harley is older and less inclined to chew our plants, we will purchase some orchids for our garden.

I bought myself a Broncos jersey and a flag so that I can be a good supporter next week during the grand final. Can you believe I haven’t owned a Broncos shirt or guernsey or about ten years! I do now.

It’s time to sleep. I have an early start tomorrow.

Nite all.
