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!!

Movie Time

As I type this, I’m watching the movie “John Wick”. Poor puppy 😩

Yesterday (Friday), BGWLBH and I did a big shop in The Bay.

We had a long list that required many visits to many shops. Go Natural, Nana’s Pantry, Supermarket, Butcher, Green Grocer, Newsagent, Bakery, Fresh Seafood and Su Jus.

We filled the boot of the car AND the back seat with bags of food that took a good 30 minutes to unpack when we arrived home.

It was exhausting, but as tired as I was, I couldn’t fall asleep until 2am.

Today was ‘play with Harley’ day …



And ‘fend for yourself’ day for dinner.  

I decided to have my dinner at lunch time.

Lobster tail baked in butter and paprika, purple slaw with goats cheese and red grapefruit vinaigrette and crispy French fries …


It was better than the lobster we had at the restaurant last week!

Delicious.

I napped for an hour mid afternoon, played with Harley again and returned to bed for another hour. I got out of bed to look at BGWLBH’s art. 

She and Adoring Husband had already eaten dinner. I decided that I was hungry so I boiled some potatoes in their jackets and served them with butter and sour cream. I had the purple slaw, half a mango, 4 cherry tomatoes from the garden and 3 leftover chicken wings from Friday night.

Surprisingly, I ate all but one chicken wing!

We played trivia for an hour and when BGWLBH retired to her room, AH and I watched some of Youngbloods on YouTube.

Harley decided it was bed time so I’m sitting up in bed watching John Wick (poor puppy 😩).

No doubt I will soon fall asleep.







Nite all.
