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!!

Holiday Day One

A lovely shopping day was had by all! 

Well ... by me.

I purchased nothing in the first 5 boutiques and was feeling a little dejected because I have money to spend!

In the end, I purchased three tops, three necklaces and three bracelets. We filled the fridge with large bottles of water because it's SO hot and muggy, we are perspiring litres during the day.

We left the room at 9am and found somewhere to order some bacon and eggs for breakfast. I contemplated chilli crab scrambled eggs but wasn't certain how my tender tummy would react and I didn't want to spoil my shopping day.

After shopping, we created our own fresh juice combinations and carried our huge loads back to the room for a rest/nap before heading out to the Maroochy RSL. We played pokies and keno briefly before ordering a very early dinner.

I had bangers and mash with peas and parsnip crisps. BGWLBH ordered rump steak with chips and salad.

On the way out, I picked up a pear and walnut mini cake with cream to take home for dessert.

The day has been anything but cyclonic. It rained a little before 10am, otherwise, the wind dropped considerably and the sun was shining for most of the day.

Apparently Alfred will be here on Thursday ... there is no indication of that right now.

Sadly I missed submitting my photo this week in the 52Frames site. I had submitted for 8 weeks in a row and now I've broken my streak and it's very annoying ... because I took a photo with my phone this morning with every intention of submitting before 4pm ... but time got away from me and I looked at my watch at 5pm with disappointment.

Ugh 😖

Tomorrow is Sunshine Plaza day.

I expect we will be just as exhausted tomorrow evening, as we are today!





Nite all.
