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!!

It’s Mighty Wet

It has been raining since about 3pm..

It is very steady and sometimes heavy enough that I need to raise the volume on the TV.

Harley and I came into the bedroom at about 1.30pm and after some colouring in on my app, I decided to nap. It only lasted 20 minutes but was just what I needed.

There was a 15 minute break in the rain at about 4.15pm which Harley and I took advantage of and I tossed the ball around the pool for a while.

Just as he was ready to jump in the pool, I called out “no” and he stopped. I said “Let’s go get your bone” and we left the pool area.

He’s a good dog.

While he chewed his bone, I climbed back into bed until Adoring Husband called me for dinner - the usual Friday night fare.

There’s nothing nicer than listening to the rain while snuggled down in bed. Day time or night time.

After dinner, we all played trivia for a while and I came back to bed at 7.30pm and have been journaling tonight.

BGWLBH and I had big plans for the markets and shopping tomorrow morning (Saturday) but I think the rain will put an end to that. The forecast is not good.

But I will get some sleep, just in case.






Nite all.
