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!!

Hot Sunday

Too hot to swim!

Too hot for Harley. He chased the ball for 5 minutes, then dropped the ball and stood at the gate looking at me as if to say “Let’s get back inside where it’s air conditioned”.

So we did.

It’s nowhere near as hot here, as it is down south where they are experiencing 43°- 44°C. Ugh!

We stayed inside all day watching all six episodes of the new Stan series “Dear Life”, which I loved and really hope that there is a second series. Series two is not even on the horizon but fingers crossed.

I followed that up with tennis and T20 cricket x 2.

I ate almost an entire Viennetta Classic ice cream cake on my own! I will probably suffer tomorrow.

After such a lazy day, I am feeling very tired at 11pm so it’s time to sleep.



Nite all.
