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!!

Steamer Memories

I got a good nights sleep and woke at 6.30am.

I watched the end of a disappointing Presidents Cup (golf). The Internationals played very poorly in the final round.

I took Harley out to play for about 45 minutes and when I came inside, BGWLBH had set up the ironing board to do her large pile of ironing. 

She usually does my ironing too, but MY pile was HUGE, so I decided to set up my old steamer from when I had the shop and do it myself. I think I had about 32 items, but I gave up at 24.

Steaming is much easier than ironing!

By then, it was 11.30am and I was hungry!

I took my washing off the line and placed it carefully on my bed before preparing some food. Adoring Husband had to go to the supermarket, so I put in my order for a small lactose free latte.

We watched an oldie but a goodie on the Classics channel - “To Catch a Thief” with Carey Grant and Grace Kelly made in 1955! I enjoyed it very much.

I did a big declutter from my wardrobe before hanging my freshly steamed clothes. I folded my washing and put it away. That was enough productivity for one day … except for cooking dinner.

BGWLBH got chicken schnitzel and AH and I had crispy skinned salmon with garden salad, buttery potatoes and wombok salad. I made an avocado, mango, pine nut and goats cheese salad for myself. Yum.

That was it for me.

I have meditation early tomorrow so it’s time for sleep.




Nite all.
