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!!

A Few Good Days

I notice that I haven’t posted here for two days, so tennis has obviously used up all my energy and motivation!

Disappointing that Djokovic lost his semi final against Alcaraz today and now we have the boring final with the same two players as the last 4 or 5 grand slam finals. Alcaraz vs Sinner. 

If Alcaraz wins, then Sinner will lose his number one ranking, so I guess that’s the only interesting thing that could happen.

I’m not invested in either of these players.

On Thursday I enjoyed morning tea by the river with my old art girls. We had a two hour catch up and the weather was perfect. I enjoyed it very much and we planned a lunch for our next Thursday meet up.

I arrived home in time to watch more tennis of course.

On Thursday night, my beloved Broncos defeated Melbourne Storm in the final NRL round and luckily I had tipped them. I’m still leading by 20 points in the tipping comp.

Friday was a very lazy day and today (Saturday), was more tennis, followed by more football.

I’m looking forward to a full nights sleep. The US Open women’s final commences at 6am tomorrow and I’m hoping Sabalenka wins. 

So for now …







Nite all.
