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!!

Double Post

Friday and Saturday have been quiet, relaxing days.

BGWLBH and Adoring Husband have been doing their own thing and I’ve enjoyed peace and quiet around the pool and in front of the TV watching Netflix movies with Harley.

Harley has also been enjoying time outside following AH around the yard and in the shed while he works.

On Friday I had a 2 hour zoom meeting with The Gypsy. She gave me a reading with Tarot cards and Oracle cards - the gist of my reading being about my art space and me getting back into my art - which was weird because I had spent the previous 2 days trying to convince myself to do just that.

Even if I don’t create any art, I need to sit in there, meditate, listen to music, touch the brushes and paints and just get the feeling for it again. Eventually (hopefully), I will be inspired.

I had a lovely 30 minute phone call with Rebel Mardi. I was under the Bali hut when she phoned, so I was in the fresh air and throwing the ball for Harley while we chatted. AH was with me for the first 5 minutes but didn’t recognise her voice, so he escaped to the house to give me privacy.

Today (Saturday) I had some more alone time. I watched Moneyball on Netflix and enjoyed it very much.

This afternoon was footy and again I’m still doing very poorly in the tipping.

I did NOT watch the Olympic opening ceremony but by the sounds of it, it was very disappointing and regarded (on social media) as possibly the worst opening ceremony ever!

I’ve been flipping channels to catch some swimming and diving and the beach volleyball is about to start.

I will fall asleep with it on in the background because AH and I are leaving early in the morning for the Childers Cultural Festival so I need sleep.






Nite all.
