Age Challenged rQQzy: So Memorable

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!!

So Memorable

Yesterday (Monday) was so memorable, I’ve forgotten everything that I did!

Oh! I did the 52Frames photo, which was very last minute and a one off. Usually I have a few ideas and I try them all before choosing one.

There just wasn’t time to play around so I had an idea that I ran with and submitted it with just one hour to spare.

The theme was “Through the Looking Glass” with the extra challenge of ‘refraction’. I was lucky to capture the refraction of the paint brush in the water, but also light from the sliding door refracted through the water and onto the art.

I love the colours.

After that, I did some writing, some dozing, some YouTube meditation, my quiz shows, Harley play and then reheated some lasagne for dinner.

Today, I started at meditation and drove into town to stock up on food for Number One Son’s visit.

Dinner was chicken saltimbocca with mash and fresh green beans and carrot.

Farmer Wants a Wife, Doc, Accused and during the ad breaks switching to tennis.

I’m feeling quite weary now so it’s time to sleep.
