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!!

Rain is Coming

"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.

A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong.

And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies.

With such a people, you can do whatever you want."

- Hannah Arendt

(14 October 1906 – 4 December 1975) German historian and philosopher

Our new outdoor furniture arrived late this afternoon. I’ll take a pic tomorrow, but we definitely need an outdoor rug.

Tomorrow I will attempt to teach Harley NOT to jump on the new furniture.

BGWLBH spent the day in The Bay.

I spent the day in front of the TV.

AH spent the day waiting for the furniture.

We’ve had intermittent rain since lunch time and a few heavy downpours this evening.

I’m exhausted from doing nothing all day haha.




Nite all.
