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!!

Winning Ways

It was worth waking early for the tennis.

We now have three Aussies in the quarter finals of the US Open.

Two of them have to play each other so we are guaranteed a place in the semi finals!

O’Connell lost to the number one in the world, Sinner.

Popyrin plays Tiafoe on Monday morning Brisbane time.

De Minaur plays Thompson on Tuesday but I’m not sure what time yet.

Today, I watched tennis until after midday. 

Adoring Husband mowed our front lawn and then joined me to watch the Adam Sandler movie, Spanglish.

Harley got some good play time.

AH cooked a leg of lamb on the rotisserie in the new barbecue while I did the vegetables in the oven. It wasn’t bad, but personally, I think we need to find another butcher. I haven’t been impressed with the quality of meat from these new guys.

It’s difficult to get plain meat from the local butcher because they crumb, marinate, stuff, coat, mix and flavour everything. Guaranteed they are full of salts, sugars, preservatives, colours, flavours and other nasties that are silently doing damage to your insides and playing around with your hormones.

If Childers wasn’t so far away, I’d happily purchase from the butcher there. My favourite butcher at Pialba doesn’t have a big enough range of meats available. Eli Waters is a pretty good option with a huge selection of everything! I think that’s the way to go.

Anyway, it’s time to sleep because I’m leaving early in the morning for the Bay.









Nite all.
