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!!

Coupla Days

We’ve had about 150mm of rain in 36 hours. 

The pool is overflowing, everything is lush and green and the temperature has dropped to a much more bearable level. We STILL have the air con running 24/7 though.

Tuesday was meditation and qi gong day, then three hours with The Gypsy. I got caught in the rain riding my trike, but I wasn’t too concerned, after all it’s only water. The day was quite exhausting, especially after a restless night so I slept very soundly on Tuesday night.

Today (Wednesday), BGWLBH and I drove in the rain to The Bay. 

We enjoyed breakfast at Salt Cafe. BGWLBH had her usual bacon and eggs, while I selected the King Prawn Omelette. Delicious.

After breakfast we visited the boutique next door - Luxe - where I found two beautiful tops which were quite pricy so I let Adoring Husband buy one (haha) and I bought the other. There was a beautiful dress too but I thought I was pushing my luck so I may return next week for that one.

We ran some other errands and then purchased our seafood for Good Friday before heading home.

Harley and I played in the rain.

We had a sausage sizzle for dinner.

I think I’m ready to sleep.







Nite all.
