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!!

Drenching

We’ve received 80mm of rain in less than 48 hours!

Perfect.

We could do with a bit more yet.

I actually rode my trike in the rain to meditation and Qi Gong. The BOM showed nothing in the way of rain over our town so I figured it would be short lived.

How wrong was I?

I have now learned, after a number of observations, that the BOM is far from reliable and I should not trust what I see on their site!

Needless to say, I spent a lot of time either waiting for the rain to ease, or riding IN the rain.

Meditation was fantastic, as was Qi Gong and my 90 minute session with The Gypsy.

During a break in the rain, I got to play with Harley. He started out very keen but seemed to lose interest quickly so after 20 minutes, he was done.

Speaking of Harley, it’s one year today since he came to live with us!






Tonight’s dinner was honey soy chicken with rice and lightly fried carrot, zucchini and beans

It was a hit.

Now I need to sleep.





Nite all.
