Age Challenged rQQzy: Too Hot

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!!

Too Hot

It was too hot to do anything today.

This is coming towards us as I type …

There have been warnings all afternoon.

Even though it’s still so far away, we can hear the thunder. There has been thunder all afternoon and the closest storm to us was more than 50kms away!

There was a ‘brownout’ about 15 minutes ago and it took a minute for the TV to come back to life. I hope it’s not a sign of things to come.

I made my bed for the 23rd day in a row 💁🏼‍♀️

Played with Harley twice.

Watched 4 episodes of Big Brother.

Cooked tuna mornay and served it with a garden salad for dinner.

Now I’m watching the women’s semifinal tennis between Sabalenka and Badosa.

Due to the heat today, Adoring Husband cancelled golf. Smart move.

The storm is playing havoc with the digital TV because it keeps coming up with a message “weak or no signal”.

Ugh 😩

I’m off to do some more art while I watch the tennis.
