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!!

A Pleasant Day

I was up quite early for a Saturday that held no plans.

It began with Harley play. He usually tells me when he’s done playing and is ready for his treats (in the morning) or for his bone (in the afternoon). Surprisingly, for a Border Collie, he only runs/jumps/swims/plays for about 20 minutes these days.

As a pup, he could easily play for 90 minutes to 2 hours.

After play, I made my way into the art room and sat in the lounge chair peering through the glass sliding doors, no devices, no magazines, just enjoying my own thoughts and the peaceful breeze floating through the screen door.

I decided to make some breakfast and opted for the least healthy option of a waffle with caramelised banana, vanilla ice cream, butterscotch sauce and crushed nuts. Most enjoyable.

BGWLBH and I played five games of ‘Sequence’, followed by some music trivia on YouTube.

I attempted, unsuccessfully, to find a movie on Netflix.

It’s ’fend For yourself’ Saturday, so I decided to cook up my dim sims early, before the evening rush, and was able to sit down just in time for the first football match. It was a joy to watch the Broncos defeat NZ Warriors.

Adoring Husband had a golf meeting so he was absent for a couple of hours.

I have four from five correct tips for the week so far.

Wimbledon starts tomorrow (Sunday) night! Woot Woot!

I’m very comfy in bed watching the Dolphins vs Rabbitohs game, so I will now go and focus on that.







Nite all.
