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!!

Lotto Loser

All of my lotto tickets have been losers this past week.

What I’d like to know is … how can I FEEL so lucky and NOT be lucky???

šŸ¤·šŸ¼‍♀️

Today was a rainy meditation morning.

Sneaky little rain storms developed above us and we got some good rain in the early hours of the morning.

Adoring Husband drove me to class and then picked me up afterwards.

I needed coffee so we drove to the shops before heading home. I also ordered some hot chips because, for some reason, I was feeling famished. I shouldn’t have because potatoes are a nightshade and my body reacts badly to them.

My tastebuds love potatoes. They are my favourite vegetable. Mashed, boiled, fried, baked, chips, potato salad, curly fries, stuffed, you name anything potato based and I will relish it and enjoy every mouthful.

But I suffer later. As I have today.

At midday, I made myself comfortable on my bed for a three hour zoom meeting with The Gypsy.

We chose not to catch up in the park today, because of the weird weather and she had a hair appointment too.

The three hours passed so quickly!

I took butter chicken out of the freezer and cooked some rice, did a tzatziki and crispy baked some Lebanese bread sprinkled with olive oil, salt and lightly brushed with tomato relish.

We were in bed by 7.30pm and I watched Big Brother.

I feel that I’ll sleep well again tonight.





Nite all.
