Age Challenged rQQzy: Wet Weekend

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!!

Wet Weekend

Association between COVID-19 vaccination and neuropsychiatric conditions.

Well … it’s been a bit wet here. Over 100mm of rain in less than 24 hours.

Remember how I planted some seeds on Wednesday? Well, here we are on Saturday and the beans, snow peas and cucumbers have already sprouted! I feel good about these crops.

It’s been a quiet couple of days. I haven’t felt very strong or energised, so I’ve chosen my bed for refuge where I binge watched the final series of Stranger Things.

It was pretty intense and I felt quite emotional in places.

I have napped both days and Harley has spent quality time with adoring Husband.

I’ve been quietly keeping up with the Winter Olympics results.

It’s 11pm and I think I shall get an early night (for me).
