Age Challenged rQQzy: Need a Bed Day

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!!

Need a Bed Day

Had another big day in The Bay, searching for birthday gifts for Bubbles.

The older she gets, the more difficult it is to buy for her. Also, we see each other so rarely, we have no idea what each other likes any more!

Anyway, I found something which I hope she will like/love, but I’d like to add a couple of small gifts to the parcel.

I’m feeling quite weary and had big plans for watching De Minaur’s Wimbledon match, followed by Djokovic, but I don’t think I have the stamina to do it!

I made curried lamb pastries for dinner tonight and BGWLBH prepared a salad to go with it.

We played trivia and again, we were all in bed by 7.30pm! Bunch of old fogies we are haha.

Now I’m going to attempt some tennis watching OR fall asleep to the sound of tennis racket on ball 🥎
