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!!

Tennis Fanatic

Galway Girl - Sharon Shannon, Mundy & Galway City

Makes me want to dance!


I was awake for most of the night watching tennis. The last match finished at about 3pm today!

Needless to say, I’m feeling a bit weary tonight!

Harley still got his two plays for the day.

I cooked myself breakfast and dinner.

The rest of the time was tennis mania haha.

I did receive a private message from a person from my distant past.

My parent’s best friends had four daughters. The last time we were all together was 1975. We attended a Skyhooks concert together. During my first 15 yrs of living, we all spent a lot of time together as very close family friends, but after that … nothing.

Until my mother’s funeral when my Aunty (we called them uncle and aunty even though we were not related) caught a bus from Brisbane to Rockhampton to attend.

So today, the second daughter messaged me and we have spent the day back and forth catching up on all the family news and swapping photos.

It’s certainly been a nostalgic trip down memory lane and lovely to touch base after all these years.

Now it’s time to sleep, in preparation for more tennis!






Nite all.
