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!!

Another Hump Day

BGWLBH and I decided to head into town to renew our lotto tickets for the week.

We were trying to work our way around the predicted weather, which is for heavy rain all week. The sky and the BOM were looking reasonably clear for us, with just a few patchy areas scuttling around The Bay, so we chose today.

It was a good choice until we were on our way home and at the halfway point, the rain came tumbling down causing some dangerously large puddles across the road that could have led to aquaplaning. The traffic was quite heavy for 1.30 in the afternoon.

Obviously, we made it home safe n sound and there had been no rain in our town all day!

At home, we unpacked the few groceries I’d purchased, made some lunch and a cup of soursop tea and I parked my butt on the couch for the afternoon.

For dinner, I made a coleslaw, a garden salad and sweet potato and potato wedges to serve with GF meat pies.

We watched The Block and then headed to bed.

I have a zoom meeting in the morning so it’s time for me to sleep.






Nite all.
