Age Challenged rQQzy: Brain Storm

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!!

Brain Storm

I’ve spent this evening brain storming ideas for the next 52Frames photography theme, which is “What I ate”.

There are more than 14,500 photographers in this group, so to stand out, the photo needs to be something special. To think of an idea that 14.500 people won’t come up with, is a daunting task!

I have a page of ideas, but nothing special or inspiring yet. Perhaps some hallucinogenic drugs might help!

I only have a week, so I’d best find some inspiration soon.

BGWLBH and I spent a few hours in The Bay today. We did some groceries but my longest list was for fruit and vegetables and Farm Gate was closed - due to unforeseen circumstances - until tomorrow.

Bugger.

I cooked fresh snapper and fried rice for dinner and Adoring Husband went back for seconds again! I’ve noticed his belly growing over the top of his trousers. We might need to monitor these seconds!

Brisbane Heat defeated Sydney Thunder in the BBL 20/20 match tonight. Go Heat!!!

Now I need to sleep.
