Age Challenged rQQzy: Mid 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!!

Mid Weekend

I’m happy to have correctly tipped all three NRL games tonight and have only missed one game for the weekend.

Go me!

My tummy issues have given me a hard time today, so I’ve spent the majority of the day in bed.

I woke at 7.30am, rose at 10am, took Harley out to play for 30 minutes between rain showers, tended my garden, crumbed some whiting fillets and cooked them - took a phone call from Rebel Mardi and let my fish go cold - had a wonderful hour long conversation with her because we had SO MUCH to catch up on, sat down to eat my cold fish then returned to bed.

I watched some ‘Friends’ and then it was all football from 4pm until now.

It’s ’fend for yourself’ night so I didn’t need to cook.

My dinner was a Connoisseur Pistachio Gelato ice cream …
