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!!

Slow Day

Early meditation was lovely, especially with a newbie who appreciated what was on offer and who will return next week.

No chat session with The Gypsy today because she was booked for a paid session with someone else.

So I did a little shopping and then pedalled to my “special quiet place” overlooking the water and sat for 30 minutes breathing in the fresh air and listening to the water lapping onto the sand.

A cheeky osprey came flying right out in front of me and dived head first into the water catching his lunch right before my eyes. No camera in my hand of course, but it happened so fast, I would never have been prepared.

It was an amazing and special moment that made me gasp in awe and then curse in amazement.

Right in the moment.

I was home by 10.30am, so I watched a couple of “I’m a Celebrity” episodes on TV and while Adoring Husband was loudly dreaming in his chair, I decided to retreat to my bedroom, catch up on some journaling and have a short nap before Harley play.

I made up a chicken recipe - in an oven pan I put a layer thick slices of potato, covered them with chicken thighs, covered the thighs with thick slices of Roma tomatoes, sprinkled garlic salt over that, drizzled a small amount of honey over everything then chopped fresh chillies over the top. Added two big chunks of butter on top and put it in a hot oven for 45 minutes.

It received rave reviews.

We played trivia and watched MAFS.

I’m very tired, so it’s time to sleep.




Nite all.
