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!!

Sunday Strip

Even though his birthday isn’t until Tuesday, Adoring Husband drove into The Bay to purchase his own present this morning.

It was from Bunnings (surprise surprise).

When he arrived home, he spent time putting it together and filling it up.

Got you wondering now haven’t I?

You’ll never know.

While he was busy doing all of that, I stripped my bed and washed my bedding, played with Harley and lay on my bare bed, binge watching The Celebrity Traitors (UK).

I’m hooked.

I made baked sweet potato in their jackets, baked white potato in its jacket both covered in curried mince, tzatziki and green beans on the side.

I don’t know how it tasted or if it was enjoyed, because I was busy in my bedroom wrestling my bedding back onto the bed.

Exhausting.

It was lovely to slide between fresh clean sheets and under my light duvet that I’ve changed for Summer,  and I’m watching Richard Osman’s House of Games on YouTube.

Definitely sleep time for me.





Nite all.
