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!!

Cool by the River

Hello Number One Son!

I hope you had a nice evening on your boat 🛥️

I received a phone call from No 1 Son tonight, which morphed into a FaceTime call to do a walk through of his new boat. 

Very flash! Very big! Very nice!

It was a 45 minute call and I feel like that’s the longest call we’ve ever had 🤔 

While I was looking out the window at a pitch black sky here, the sun was still up and on my phone screen,  I could see blue sky in Western Australia.

It was nice to see my son’s face and to chat with him.

Today was meditation day and I actually arrived four minutes early for a change. It was another great class about sitting in our self sovereignty. 

After class, The Gypsy and I sat chatting by the river for two hours. The weather forecast was for a warm 24°C but thankfully, I followed BGWLBH’s advice and took a wrap because it was quite chilly!


I was home by 12.30pm and heated up some cauliflower soup for lunch. Stupidly, I toasted a bread roll to have with it. My new eating regime excludes bread and I felt the negative affects of it almost immediately and I felt unwell all afternoon.

Ugh 😩 

For dinner, I reheated last night’s fish pie leftovers for the team. I had plain coconut yoghurt, blueberries, raspberries, papaya, 1 grated Brazil nut, 3 grated apricot kernels, almond flakes and a drizzle of pure maple syrup.

That settled my tummy nicely.

Adoring Husband and I watched the oldie but goodie movie “Tequila Sunrise” starring Kurt Russell, Mel Gibson and Michelle Pfeiffer. 

That was my day.




Nite all.
