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!!

Easter is Here

I enjoyed Good Friday morning with The Gypsy and we didn’t inspect the property because somebody put in an offer and a deposit the evening prior. It wasn’t meant to be for The Gypsy this time.

We had three hours together and delved into one of our deep, meaningful and philosophical discussions. So exhausting, but in such a good way.

I had some nice cuddles with Narla the beautiful husky dog.

Adoring Husband collected me at 1.30pm so I filled in the time until the football came on at 3pm, by making 50 sausage rolls. I froze 40 of them and we ate ten of them for lunch.



Two fabulous games of footy for the evening, both of which I tipped correctly.

Today (Saturday) was much quieter and very relaxing. 

I had a late start, took Harley out to play, tended my vegetable garden, made some prawn toast for brunch then sat down for the newest series of Jet lag the game on YouTube. 

Adoring Husband mowed the front lawn and then joined me in the lounge room to watch another old Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis movie on YouTube.

“Fend for yourself” night meant pizza for BGWLBH, pork chop for AH and dim sims for me.

Another two games of football to watch and I took a calculated risk by tipping St George to defeat Cowboys, but unfortunately it did not pay off, so I’ve slipped from top spot in the tipping comp to 2nd.

I expect to be very busy tomorrow with lots of chores around the house, like washing and cooking and cleaning so that I can spend all day Monday in bed. I haven’t had a bed day for weeks.

Now I need to sleep.






Nite all.
