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!!

Halfway There.

Caught the edge of a storm this afternoon.

A flash of lightning and 5 seconds later … BOOM!!!

Scared the daylights out of BGWLBH.

I was watching the tennis in my bedroom at the time. Harley lifted his head as if to say “WTF was that!?” and when I didn’t respond or react, he just put his head down and went back to sleep.

It rained for about two minutes and that was that. All over red rover.

Tennis, tennis and more tennis was on my agenda for today. We are half way through the tournament.

Flipped into some BBL cricket this evening.

There is one Aussie remaining in the men’s singles draw … Alex de Minaur … he is looking solid and having pulled himself up after losing sets or games, he is a great problem solver on the court. I don’t know if he can beat the likes of Alcaraz or Sinner, but that is yet to be seen.

Five of the top ten seeded players have already been eliminated! Shocking!

My productivity was minimal. Harley play, one load of washing, made my bed (that’s 18 days in a row!) and I made my pizza for ‘fend for yourself’ night.

What an exhausting day!

Sleep time for me.




Nite all.
