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 Hump Day

I was abruptly woken this morning at 6.30am by the neighbours concretors slamming the ground in preparation for the cement truck.

The noise made the whole house vibrate and the slamming happened every 5 seconds. There was no respite for about 45 minutes.

It would have been nice for our neighbours to warn us because it was not a pleasant way to wake up.

Adoring Husband had errands to run in The Bay so he escaped the noise quite early.

Quite a while later, BGWLBH and I couldn’t listen to the foul language coming from those workers any longer and we decided a trip to The Bay was in our immediate future.

We enjoyed a few hours pottering around town like the pair of old women that we are, did some groceries, got some juice and were home before 2pm.

AH was on the phone with an operator attempting to install ‘outlook’ email on his new laptop - apparently he had been on the phone for almost two hours, but it was a successful call.

I enjoyed a roast pork sandwich for a late lunch.

AH cooked spaghetti bolognese for dinner.

We all played trivia for an hour.

It’s now almost midnight and I need sleep.






Nite all.
