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!!

Catch Up

Monday was a pretty big day.

BGWLBH drove Adoring Husband to the train station in the early hours of the morning so that he could travel to Brisbane for his next follow up appointment with the Parkinson’s professor.

His trip was going well until some truck driver in Brisbane accidentally hit the power lines over the railway. This meant that AH had to disembark from the train at Caboolture and take the bus that was provided to Roma Street, so he arrived an hour later than planned.

This wasn’t a problem because he still had 2 hours to kill until his appointment.

The power situation was not rectified by the time he was returning home at 5pm so he had to catch a bus all the way to Gympie and then transfer to a train for the remaining 150kms.

It was a long day and he didn’t arrive home until 10pm.

Meanwhile, BGWLBH and I drove into The Bay. There was plenty of shopping - more Christmas gifts, lotto, groceries etc. We were on our way home at lunch time.

It was a lovely quiet afternoon.

Today, it was a recovery day for AH so he rested and recuperated.

I had meditation and hoop qi gong. The usual catch up with The Gypsy, but only for an hour today. Afterwards, I rode around town and checked out the new estates. Probably not a good idea in the heat of the day.

It meant that I had to rest and recuperate in the afternoon!

Now I need to sleep.







Nite all.
