Age Challenged rQQzy: Days of Gentle Living

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!!

Days of Gentle Living

I am doing very well with my footy tips so far this week with three out of three correct. ✅✅✅

Adoring Husband has been very happy with the progress of his golfing prowess.

He drove into The Bay today and got a haircut, which is VERY short, but I like it very much. He also purchased a new TV for the kitchen because the old one was not connecting anymore.

Now we are researching slow cookers because my old one, although it still functions, has a loose heat seal and may be on its last legs. It’s 12 years old and gets a LOT of use, especially for broths, stock, lamb shanks, curries and casseroles.

I don’t think much of interest has happened in the last couple of days.

Lots of Harley play. I made some passionfruit butter with the fruit from our vine. I made a banana and passionfruit pavlova. I’ve been sleeping like a dead person. Watching movies and series on Netflix. Catching up with Jet Lag, the Game, on YouTube. Journalling.

Life is relaxed, just the way I like it.

Off to watch the second half of the second game between Newcastle and Canberra.
