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!!

Snuffly and Sneezy

I may be coming down with something.

BGWLBH has been quite sick for a week. She thought it was just a sinus infection but I think she might have a cold or flu and has passed it on.

I’ve been filling up on home made chicken soup, raw honey, lots of water, Vit C and sitting in the sunshine for Vit D.

I probably need to focus on better sleep - I’ve been watching the US Open tennis and the Irish Open golf so I’ve not enjoyed any solid sound sleep for 2 weeks. Must fix that.

This morning I watched the women’s tennis final. A disappointing result with my fave, Sabalenka, losing to the new number one Rybakina.

Tomorrow morning at 4am, the men will fight it out. Sverev vs Shelton. I don’t mind who wins.

Today, I almost completed my patchwork jeans. Just one more letter to add because the original that I cut out, curled up and was impossible to attach. Photos tomorrow - if I’m well enough.

After that, I watched two movies. “Unicorn Store” with Brie Larson, Samuel L Jackson and Joan Cusack which I loved and “The Tall Girl” with Ava Mitchell, Griffin Gluck and Sabrina Carpenter. I loved that one too.

The footy was on after that with Penrith beating the Roosters.

Spaghetti Sunday was easy, as usual. I had my chicken soup.

Now I’m watching The Voice from my bed.

Nothing planned for tomorrow so I can have a relaxing, healing day.





Nite all.
