Age Challenged rQQzy: Another Day

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!!

Another Day

I didn’t watch any tennis last night but caught the last 2 sets of the Fritz vs Sverev match before getting out of bed this morning.

I made breakfast for BGWLBH and played with Harley before making myself presentable for a day in town.

We were looking for a rotating mop head with a long handle that attaches to the garden hose for cleaning the car. Nothing at Bunnings. Nothing at Big W. Nothing at Choice. Gave up.

Shopped for food, TP, lotto, clothes and decided to grab some curries from Eli Waters for dinner. I made fried rice with last nights leftovers and we sat down very early for a delicious dinner. Mild coconut chicken curry. Medium goat curry. Hot Rogan Josh. Medium Butter Chicken. Full of flavour and just the right heat.

We played trivia.

Adoring Husband toddled off to bed early.

I’ll be setting my alarm for 3am for tennis so I’d best get some sleep.
