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!!

Lightning is Cracking!

I sat up in bed watching the France Open Golf until 3am 🕒 

After such a busy week, staying up that late was probably not a sound decision. I woke at 7.20am and four hours of sleep is really not adequate.

I stayed awake hoping that I would fall asleep early tonight. That probably would have worked except I fell asleep on the couch this afternoon so it’s now it’s after 11pm and I’m only just considering calling it a night.

I watched the new Bridget Jones movie today and was mildly disappointed. It was pretty depressing. Not light and funny like all the others.

We’ve had storms rumbling over and around us all evening. There had been 15mm of rain since 2pm and there is currently a storm brewing above us as I type the this. The thunder has been cracking loudly.

Thank goodness Harley is not bothered by storms!

I made tuna patties for dinner with sweet potato chips and a garden salad.

I had my favourite chicken broth with two poached wings followed by coconut cream ice cream with mango and blueberries.

No meditation tomorrow because the yearly tombola has the hall hired on this date every year. I will enjoy the sleep in.

Now I really must get some sleep.






Nite all.
