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!!

Miserable Az

We are not happy.

Today was the day that our aircon insulation piping was being replaced.

Two males arrived at 7.45am (I left the house for meditation at the same time) and they left the house at 2.20pm leaving us with a mess of plaster crumbs over the kitchen benches, the beds, the dining table and anywhere else that a duct outlet was in the ceiling.

They left us with no air conditioning!

They are returning tomorrow to complete the job, but meanwhile, it is 27°C at 10pm and the house is a sauna. 

My bedroom is the most comfortable with a slight breeze coming through the window and I have the pedestal fan.

BGWLBH, whose bedroom is a sauna in Summer, has taken couch cushions into the artspace and is lying on the floor with the split system aircon running.

We were not warned that this could happen so we are very ‘put out’ and uncomfortable.

Luckily there is a pool in the back yard so we were able to cool off this afternoon.

Ugh 😩 

BGWLBH and I will be leaving the house early in the morning to find somewhere cooler to eat breakfast and spend time until Adoring Husband calls us to confirm that our aircon is doing its job again.

We already spent today in the Bay so at least we didn’t have to deal with the heat for the first half of the day.

So now it’s time to attempt sleep. 

Wish me luck.







Nite all.
