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!!

Before the Rain

Another day in the bay.

Stocklands, Petbarn, Pialba to get everything on our lists.

Harley was the big winner today.

Home by 2pm and well before the rain set in. Instead of playing around the pool, I took Harley into the carport where we played soccer with his new tag ball. He LOVED it.

There was a parcel waiting at the front door when I arrived home and in it was an octopus for Harley that was supposed to be made with tough stuff for dogs that chew things to pieces. 

It lasted ten minutes 🫤

In my parcel was four cushion covers, 6 place mats, 4 white gel pens, a scarf, 2 art stencils, a sunflower floor mat and magnetic backed shelving.

Yes, I caved and got the Temu app 😩 big mistake.

It was nice to not cook dinner. Adoring Husband did the usual Friday night chicken wings and we’ve watched 2 games of footy. I have three correct from three games in the tipping comp.

Now I’m ready to sleep.




Nite all.
