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!!

Summer Ending

On Wednesday, we had the pest man in to check for termites. 

Adoring Husband found evidence of them near the pool area, so we got the guy out as soon as we could. Thankfully, no termites/white ants were found anywhere in or around the house, so we can rest easy.

Last Tuesday (10th), Adoring Husband had a SCC surgically removed from his right leg.

Yesterday, we noticed that it was becoming infected, so he phoned his doctor’s surgery and was lucky to be given an early appointment for today.

We drove in this morning where both the nurse and a different doctor (his usual doctor was absent) confirmed that it was indeed infected and prescribed antibiotics. They also removed 2 of the 8 stitches because they were pulling.

From there, (and you may not believe this) I requested AH take me to Bunnings! 😳

I needed some sugar cane mulch for my new garden, some smallish trellis structures for my beans, peas and cucumber to climb and a washing basket, which I’ll use to grow potatoes.

So far, everything is sprouting beautifully and I’m pretty motivated to keep it thriving.

We had a few other errands to run but were home by 1pm and after unpacking everything, I found my bed and relaxed for the afternoon catching up on this week’s Australian Idol. I also squeezed in a short nap.

For dinner, I cooked that 70s classic, Apricot Chicken! I haven’t cooked or eaten apricot chicken for a good 30 years and it did not taste the way I remembered it, but I still enjoyed it.

I missed morning tea with my art girls.

BGWLBH went to work in the art/craft shop.

The weather is glorious.

Now I’m ready for sleep.





Nite all.
