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!!

Another Hump Day

I struggled to fall asleep on Tuesday night and it was 2am the last time that I looked at the clock.

This morning it was 5.08am the first time I looked at the clock and I was unable to slip back to sleep.

Running on 3 hours of sleep does not lead to energised productivity, that’s for sure!

I played with Harley, lay in the sun for 30 minutes, got a fish and vegetable pastie out of the freezer and reheated it in the oven, then sat in front of the TV to watch two movies.

“Madam Webb” with Dakota Johnson - it was ok.

“He’s All That” which I’ve seen quite a few times before, but it’s an easy watch.

I checked my  “clothes to donate” and figured out which ones I want to use to decorate my white jeans. I don’t know when that’s going to happen but my imagination is very busy!

Tonight’s dinner was Chicken and Vegetable Pastries …

Which I served with roasted tomatoes and zucchini slice and followed up with a slice of passionfruit and blueberry vanilla cake with coconut vanilla bean ice cream …

It’s only 9pm but with only 3 hrs of sleep, I’m winding down fast.

Tomorrow is lunch with the art girls, so I definitely need a good nights sleep.



Nite all
