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!!

Lifestyle Heaven

I love these quiet, peaceful and uneventful days.

Adoring Husband and I watched a few Taskmaster episodes from the New Zealand series and the UK series.

It was AH’s turn to cook. I didn’t eat, but he prepared lamb loin chops with salad for he and BGWLBH.

There have been storm warnings since lunch time, but they’ve all stayed south of us. It’s eerie listening to the thunder in the distance. I heard a few spits on the roof earlier but it lasted all of 20 seconds.

I’ve coloured in a few pics.

Now it’s time to sleep.


Nite all.

Regular Tuesday

I feel like I’ve been run over by a Mack truck.

Hoop Qi Gong was quite a bit more high movement than usual and I put my all into it. I’m getting too old for this s#/t!

I must say it was very enjoyable moving to the music and finding the beat and the rhythm with the hoop. I just need to pace myself.

Meditation was a great class.

No chatting with The Gypsy afterwards because she was committed elsewhere, so I rode home earlier than usual and made myself a cup of tea to accompany last nights cheesecake. Yum.

While sitting on the couch, I could feel my muscles and joints starting to seize up and ache. I think a nice swim in the morning might help stretch the muscles and ease the aches and pains.

I had a very brief nap on the couch, abruptly ended by Harley jumping on me to cuddle and then try to convince me to take him out to play.

Bangers, leftover mash and salsa for dinner.

An hour of trivia.

MKR. My guilty pleasure - Love Island.

Now it’s time to sleep.







Nite all.

Baking Day

Look at this plant with EIGHT flowers blooming! It seems to be very happy where it is.

This morning, after playing with Harley, I decided to bake a cheesecake. Lemon and blueberry. I didn’t have all the ingredients, or enough of the ingredients that I DID have, so I improvised and it turned out quite delicious!

I watched a great movie today on Prime Video called “My Old Ass”. I loved it. I cried, but it was also uplifting. Another movie on Netflix called “Meet Me Next Christmas” which I also enjoyed.

So it was another quiet, relaxing day. I did some more colouring in …

Now it’s time to sleep. Meditation tomorrow.

Nite all.

Weekend Delight

It’s been a quiet weekend.

Went nowhere.

Did nothing.

Saw nobody.

Adoring Husband had a coffee date on Saturday morning.

BGWLBH has a sore throat but has still produced a lot of art.

I played with Harley, watched TV and cooked.

Looking forward to a good nights sleep.









Nite all.
