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!!

Testing Cricket

A great day AND night of cricket!

The Boxing Day Test began today at the MCG.

The debutant, 19yr old Konstas, played an exciting and successful innings of 60 runs off 65 balls and Australia have established a good first innings total of 6/311 at close of play in front of more than 87,000 spectators!

As soon as the final ball was played for the day, the first of the double header BBL matches played between Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Stars began. Sydney Sixers won easily and spectacularly.

Immediately following that, the second match began between Perth Scorchers and Brisbane Heat. I think it will be close, but the Scorchers are playing at home with a massive supportive crowd so they might have the edge.

All up, it will be around 12 hours of cricket on the telly today.

I had a one hour nap this afternoon and 30 minutes with Harley outside, so I watched more than ten hours of cricket. I’m exhausted!

Delicious Christmas leftovers for dinner. I added a fresh coleslaw and freshly baked chicken plus slices of watermelon.

No trivia tonight. Cricket was my priority.

Now, I shall fall asleep to the sound of bat on ball.






Nite all.
