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!!

Still Nothing

I slept poorly.

It was 1am the last time I looked at the clock.

Some time during the night I woke with a start, but fell back to sleep fairly quickly.

At 6.02am I woke again with a start, to the sound of one of Adoring Husband’s explosive sneezes. He was sitting in the lounge room which is right outside my bedroom door.

I was NOT happy.

I got up to pee and he called out “Good morning!”

I ignored him.

😡

It was not a happy way to start the day.

I made my cup of tea and played with Harley.

Came inside and made up a concoction of 5 boiled eggs, butter, salt, white pepper, 2 shallots, curry powder, coleslaw dressing, shredded lettuce and chilli tuna (the good stuff from northern QLD).

I spread it over two pieces of toast and it was bloody beautiful!

In front of the TV for a few hours watching The Great Pottery Throwdown, a fluffy Netflix movie and the test cricket between Australia and India.

We stopped the cricket for an hour to play trivia, then back to the cricket. It’s now 8.15pm and I’m ready to sleep.









Nite all.
