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!!

Crazy Time

So, in preparation for the arrival of Number One Son and his friend, it was a madhouse here today.

Adoring Husband was in charge of clearing the back bedroom, which has basically been a storage room for about two years. A big job.

BGWLBH was in charge of vacuuming, mopping and cleaning the bathroom and toilet.

I was in charge of cooking. I prepared three average sized lasagnes, five small tuna mornays, a zucchini slice and banana bread. A four hour event.

I especially didn’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen for their first couple of days/nights here, because time with No1 Son is precious and short, so I wanted to be covered.

Unfortunately, mid afternoon I received a phone call telling me that they had missed their flight from Perth. His friend had been taken to hospital in an ambulance due to a fall which resulted in a head injury.

This means that the friend will no longer be travelling here and Number One Son will be here later than planned. I hope.

I still finished all the cooking and popped most of it in the freezer.

We continue to plan a few activities to make the trip a little more eventful for him and being the arty farty human that he is, he will hopefully enjoy spending time in my Artspace with us.

I got to watch most of the football. Disappointing tipping and I have now slipped to 4th position! I still have my joker round in my pocket so in real time, I’m more likely in 2nd place. Now I am bothered haha.

Tennis has also been disappointing tonight with the Aussie, Popyrin, losing in straight sets.

It’s nice to be snuggled under the covers now and I will get a good night’s sleep if the across the road neighbours allow it, because they have been very active this evening.






Nite all.
