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!!

Golden Nothing

This is Harley’s Mum  …

This photo was taken at the beginning of her labour. She gave birth to ten pups, all different colours, six girls and four boys. She did that in five hours!

I can’t wait to see pics of each individual pup.

Aside from that most exciting news, super Saturday football was today, and as always, there was a team to stuff up my perfect round. A team that nobody expects to win, decides to have a blinder and blow everybody’s mind.

Parramatta defeated the Roosters 30-10.

This means that I have five from six correct with two games to be played tomorrow.

BGWLBH and I spent five hours at the RSL Club attempting to win a golden ticket 🎫 today. Unfortunately, good luck didn’t lean in our direction and five golden tickets landed in the laps of five other lucky people.

Despite snacking at the club, by the time we got home, we were starverated and cooking our dinner for ‘fend for yourself’ night was high on our priority list. Pizza for BGWLBH and pork sausages for me with coleslaw and grapes.

Now it’s almost midnight so it’s definitely time to sleep.





Nite all.
