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!!

He Made It!

Number One Son has arrived!

With his friend!

Who is now his fiancé!

I was presented with a beautiful box of fresh flowers, which I will take a pic of tomorrow and we shared two bottles of champagne to celebrate.

Quite the surprise 😮 

Today was my first meeting with Dr El, and I like her very much. She is sweet and engaging, very easy to talk with and obviously cares deeply about Number One Son. I hope that their happiness is long lasting.

We spent the afternoon catching up and learning about each other, a small spot of trivia, time out by the pool and an early dinner of home made hamburgers.

Dr El was kept awake most of last night by No1 Son’s snoring, and then had to drive 4 hours from Brisvegas to here, so she was ready for an early night.

They will be here until Saturday. Short but hopefully sweet.

It’s quite chilly right now and it’s going to drop to 9°C overnight.

I hope that my guests will be warm enough.

Now, I am weary and need to sleep.




Nite all.
