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!!

Go-Jo – Milkshake Man (LIVE) | Australia šŸ‡¦šŸ‡ŗ | Second Semi-Final | Eurovi...

Apparently, this was the best that Australia could come up with for Eurovision. I’d put Milkshake Man in the same category as Raygun - an embarrassment to the nation.


Today was a pretty slow one for me. Although I was awake at 7am, it was after 9am when I decided to greet the day.

Harley and I played.

Afterwards, I chopped vegetables to boil for Harley’s food packs, baked banana bread and made the marinade for tonight’s chicken.

Adoring Husband wanted to watch a movie so I chose “Some Kind of Wonderful” which AH has never seen. He still hasn’t seen it because he fell asleep in his chair haha.

It was nice to not have to cook dinner tonight.

I was very annoyed to discover, too late, that Lomax was back playing for Parramatta tonight. I’d have tipped Parramatta to defeat Newcastle if I’d known this important detail. Needless to say, I got the first tip wrong for the weekend.

It has been a bit rainy today and the temperature nice and mild. We haven’t needed the air conditioner for about 3 weeks now. There has been a lovely cool breeze blowing from the south through our front windows but I’ve still used my pedestal fan every night.

Good sleeping weather.

Speaking of sleep …






Nite all.
