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!!

A Touch Productive

On Monday I finally cleared my art table.

It was still covered with all of the jewellery making paraphernalia from the time leading up to the market and the art and craft expo.

It took about 90 minutes to clear it all. Finding spots for all the beads, the charms, the findings, the chains, the tools, the measuring plates, the pins etc etc etc.

All the while, I was imagining a new sewing machine, fabrics, ribbons, laces, bindings, threads and my crafty imagination creating wearable art. It’s a possibility.

Dinner was chicken schnitzel with wombok salad, garden salad and zucchini slice.

Today was first day back at meditation, which was brilliant, followed by breakfast at Goody’s (yuk) and a day in the bay including a small grocery shop.

Dinner was chicken curry with rice, mini papadums and tzatziki …

Vegan Chickie made a chicken pie (not so vegan) which looks sooooo delicious!


Now it’s after midnight and I need to sleep!



Nite all.
