Age Challenged rQQzy: Too Old

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 Old

Two days in a row, BGWLBH and I have been into The Bay.

Today, we were avoiding the planned 5 hour power outage for our community. We didn't want to sit in a hot house and even the pool didn't seem inviting for five hours!

Instead of doing a 'pub crawl', we did a clothing shop crawl along the esplanade. Sadly, neither of us found anything to buy! So much to choose from but nothing that tickled our fancies.

We enjoyed a bacon and egg breakfast at a new cafe at Holistic Healing Haven. It was peaceful with friendly service and reasonably priced.

The power was restored an hour earlier than expected but we still got home quite late.

Leftovers for dinner for everyone except me. I had prawns that I seared in butter.

Anyway, we are both exhausted because we are too old to be gallivanting all over town for hours every day!

Tomorrow is morning tea with the art girls so I don't even get to sleep in.

I'm definitely ready for sleep now.
