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!!

Bloody Knights

EVERYONE in our tipping comp picked Manly over Newcastle, so it won’t make a difference to the leader board, but bloody Newcastle scored a try in extra time and won!

Ugh 😩 

It’s been a quiet, but nice day.

Adoring Husband went golfing and BGWLBH drove into The Bay, which left Number One Son, Dr El and I at home.

We sat under the Bali hut in the morning sun, started to watch a movie, but my two visitors fell asleep after ten minutes so they went back to bed until mid afternoon. They visited the bottle shop while BGWLBH and I prepared some salads - potato salad, coleslaw, beetroot salad and garden salad. 

AH cooked, steak, lamb chops, pork and beef sausages on the barbecue and we feasted at about 5.30pm.

Afterwards we played trivia for about an hour.

I was left alone to watch the disappointing game of football.

I have been awake since 6am and watched the Djokovic vs Sverev score on the French Open website, so I’m feeling quite weary now.

It was only 8°C this morning so it was also difficult for me to get out of bed.

We all have a lunch date in The Bay tomorrow, so I need to sleep now.







Nite all.
