Age Challenged rQQzy: The Real Saturday

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!!

The Real Saturday

I enjoyed solid sleep last night and woke quite refreshed at 7.30am, but didn’t leave my room until 8am.

It was a cool, wet morning, but Harley and I squeezed some playtime in between rain showers.

At 9.30am BGWLBH came to a realisation that required her to go into The Bay, so I joined her and we got to town just before 11am.

We returned at 3pm and Harley got some more play time in before I sat down for the footy.

Received a call from Number One Son and he will be here on Monday! Much earlier than expected! I can’t wait to see him because it has been far too long.

For tonight’s dinner (fend for yourself), I cooked my prawns in an egg batter and made a sweet chilli dipping sauce.

My footy tipping has been pretty poor again this weekend, but so has everybody else’s so, right now, I’m not bothered.

It’s 9pm and I’m comfortable in bed, about to turn off the abysmal Broncos game, to watch the tennis.
