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!!

Fairly Productive and Informative

Behavioural Expert Chase Hughes 

I am fully intrigued by this man and find him so easy to listen to. I am going to find him online and learn more about him. His expertise and his experiences with the human mind, and in particular, his OWN mind has me fascinated.

Today was a pleasant day.

I was out of bed by 9am and playing with Harley outside while Adoring Husband was out buying our coffee.

Because of overnight rain, the midgies were out in force and I was bitten a number of times causing horrible itching and driving me to distraction!

I still remained outside for 30 minutes.

I decided to go for a trike ride because I needed to buy some eggs. My new recipe of choice was a bacon and egg pie for dinner, which I served with garden salad, pickled tomato and cucumber, wombok salad and last nights leftover baked vegetables.

With the leftover puff pastry, I made a berry tart. I lined a mini tart tray with the pastry and added sliced strawberries and blueberries. I had egg wash left over from glazing the egg and bacon pie so I mixed that with a little cream, some castor sugar and some vanilla extract, then poured it over the berries. That went into the oven for 25 minutes.

It was delicious! I could only eat half of it so I gave the other half to AH.

The tide was up this morning so the river was looking beautiful …





It was pretty quiet around town.

I watched Mayim Bialik videos and the Diary of a CEO video that I linked at the beginning of this post, did some journaling and added to my art …

I also communicated with an old friend who now lives in Mackay.

We experienced some small storms with some nice rain this afternoon, which meant my exercise program with The Motivator had to be canned til next week. It’s an outdoor program so it’s dependent on good weather.

Now it’s already 10.30pm and I need to be up reasonably early for a day in the Bay.

Nite all.
