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!!

Too Old

Yes, I am getting too old for this “staying awake all night watching tennis” nonsense!

On the days after I’ve stayed awake watching tennis, am incapable of functioning as a grown adult.

Basically, I am rather zombified and my decision making skills are considerably dulled.

Today, however, I was shocked into an awakened state when Adoring Husband threw up a rock with the lawn mower and smashed the glass in the fixed panel of the sliding door into my art space …






Luckily, and for the hefty price of $820, Jack’s Glass in the Bay are able to fix it tomorrow morning at 8.30am. I will share my review in tomorrow’s blog post.

AH had spent the morning in The Bay (for the 4th day in a row) and I spent the morning in a state of zombification.

It’s going to be an exhausting month because Wimbledon finishes on 14th July and the Olympics commence on 26th July!

For dinner, AH cooked chicken thigh fillets on the barbecue and served them with salad and chips done in the air fryer.

I’m enjoying my nights off from the kitchen.

We all played trivia for an hour and AH headed off to bed early.

I am in bed watching the tennis but won’t be staying up late tonight. It’s already 11pm but I need to catch up on some sleep. I’ll save myself for the Djokovic matches, the De Minaur matches and any other Aussies that squeeze their way through to the later rounds.

It’s been raining too - at Wimbledon AND here!





Nite all.
