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!!

Quite Productive Really

I was awake for almost two hours in the middle of the night when the rain fell heavily and loudly on our roof.

So it was difficult to get up for meditation this morning, but I managed to be presentable when Heart of Gold arrived to pick me up. She had texted me earlier because the weather was looking ominous and offered to drive me to meditation. Obviously, I accepted her offer.

It was a good class with only six of us in attendance.

At the end of meditation, the weather was still looking ominous so The Gypsy and I planned a Zoom meeting so that she could get home before the weather set in.

This meant no long chat under the barbecue shelter, which is our usual MO.

Heart of Gold dropped me home and BGWLBH and I decided to drive into town to get the things that we couldn’t purchase yesterday.

The weather became gloomy with drizzling rain as we got closer to The Bay.

BGWLBH had quite a few unusual items on her list, like darning needles and fishing line, so it was like a treasure hunt trying to find everything on her list. We were successful.

We arrived home before 2.30pm and I made a prawn roll for late lunch, watched a quiz show, took Harley out to play, batched up the chicken broth, made up 9 Harley meals and prepared salmon patties for dinner.

BGWLBH made a delicious garden salad to go with the patties while Adoring Husband tidied the kitchen behind us.

We played trivia for 45 mins.

I’m in bed ready for some sleep.








Nite all.
