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 Pleasant Day

I was up quite early for a Saturday that held no plans.

It began with Harley play. He usually tells me when he’s done playing and is ready for his treats (in the morning) or for his bone (in the afternoon). Surprisingly, for a Border Collie, he only runs/jumps/swims/plays for about 20 minutes these days.

As a pup, he could easily play for 90 minutes to 2 hours.

After play, I made my way into the art room and sat in the lounge chair peering through the glass sliding doors, no devices, no magazines, just enjoying my own thoughts and the peaceful breeze floating through the screen door.

I decided to make some breakfast and opted for the least healthy option of a waffle with caramelised banana, vanilla ice cream, butterscotch sauce and crushed nuts. Most enjoyable.

BGWLBH and I played five games of ‘Sequence’, followed by some music trivia on YouTube.

I attempted, unsuccessfully, to find a movie on Netflix.

It’s ’fend For yourself’ Saturday, so I decided to cook up my dim sims early, before the evening rush, and was able to sit down just in time for the first football match. It was a joy to watch the Broncos defeat NZ Warriors.

Adoring Husband had a golf meeting so he was absent for a couple of hours.

I have four from five correct tips for the week so far.

Wimbledon starts tomorrow (Sunday) night! Woot Woot!

I’m very comfy in bed watching the Dolphins vs Rabbitohs game, so I will now go and focus on that.

Days of Gentle Living

I am doing very well with my footy tips so far this week with three out of three correct. ✅✅✅

Adoring Husband has been very happy with the progress of his golfing prowess.

He drove into The Bay today and got a haircut, which is VERY short, but I like it very much. He also purchased a new TV for the kitchen because the old one was not connecting anymore.

Now we are researching slow cookers because my old one, although it still functions, has a loose heat seal and may be on its last legs. It’s 12 years old and gets a LOT of use, especially for broths, stock, lamb shanks, curries and casseroles.

I don’t think much of interest has happened in the last couple of days.

Lots of Harley play. I made some passionfruit butter with the fruit from our vine. I made a banana and passionfruit pavlova. I’ve been sleeping like a dead person. Watching movies and series on Netflix. Catching up with Jet Lag, the Game, on YouTube. Journalling.

Life is relaxed, just the way I like it.

Off to watch the second half of the second game between Newcastle and Canberra.

Water or Water

THE WATER IN YOUR BODY IS NOT H₂O. IT IS H₃O₂. AND THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.

Let me say this clearly.

You have been lied to about water.

Not just the fluoride-filled tap water, or the overpriced stuff in plastic bottles, but about the water inside your body. The water in your cells, your blood, your fascia, your organs. The water you are made of.

They told you it is H₂O. That is what we all learned in school. That your body is seventy percent water and that water is just a neutral substance that transports things around the body.

But that is not the full story. Not even close.

Inside your body, water does not exist in a basic liquid state. It forms a structured phase. A living, intelligent, electrically charged form known as H₃O₂. This is called Exclusion Zone water, or EZ water, and it behaves completely differently from standard liquid water.

Professor Gerald Pollack, a bioengineer and scientist at the University of Washington, proved this in his groundbreaking research. He discovered that water next to hydrophilic (water-loving) surfaces, such as the lining of your blood vessels and cells, organises itself into a crystalline structure. It becomes thicker, more viscous, negatively charged, and holds energy.

This water builds charge separation. It acts as a battery. It stores energy from sunlight, infrared heat, and vibration. It drives flow. It powers biological processes. It exists in plants, animals, and most importantly, in you.

This discovery rewrites the rules of biology.

Pollack’s experiments showed that EZ water expands in response to infrared light and that it generates measurable electrical voltage. It can move fluids without a pump. He published this work in peer-reviewed journals, documented it with real experiments, and even wrote a full book on it called The Fourth Phase of Water.

None of this is speculation. It is scientific fact. But it has been ignored.

Why?

Because if people understood how important structured water is, they would realise how easy it is to heal without chemicals, injections, or prescriptions.

H₃O₂ IS WHAT MAKES LIFE POSSIBLE

Your blood does not move because your heart is pumping like an engine. Your cells do not function because of pressure gradients and chemical reactions alone. What drives flow, energy, and communication in the body is the structured water in your tissues.

This water forms layers of charge that move things where they need to go. That is how blood flows in early embryos before the heart has even formed. That is how fascia conducts vibration and light. That is how cells communicate instantly, not just chemically, but through electrical fields.

Rudolf Steiner, more than a hundred years ago, said that the heart was not a pump but a regulating valve within a system that was already in motion. Gerald Pollack provided the experimental proof that supports this. Viktor Schauberger studied water in its natural state and said it was the key to understanding life itself.

And yet, no one teaches this. Not in medical school. Not in mainstream science. Not in your GP’s office. Because structured water cannot be bottled, patented, or turned into a subscription service.

HOW TO BUILD STRUCTURED WATER IN YOUR BODY

You do not get structured water from the tap. That is dead water. Chemically treated, energetically flattened, and often full of toxins.

You build structured water in your body through real life-force exposure.

You need sunlight. Infrared light from the sun is one of the strongest stimulators of EZ water formation. That is why you feel more energised after sunbathing or walking in natural light. It literally recharges you.

You need movement and breath. Fascia and muscles help move fluids through your body. Breath expands the diaphragm, increases flow, and stimulates lymphatic movement. All of this enhances structure and charge.

You need electrolytes and minerals. Spring water, Celtic sea salt, and Shilajit all contribute to better hydration and conductivity. Real hydration is not about drinking more water, it is about making that water usable at the cellular level.

You need raw fruits and vegetables. Plants already contain structured water. That is why you feel instantly refreshed after eating melon, cucumber, or freshly squeezed juice. Their water is already energised.

You also need grounding. Walking barefoot connects you to the Earth's natural electrical field. This helps stabilise charge inside your body and supports the structure of internal water.

And finally, you need clean energy. Thoughts, music, frequencies, and intention all matter. Water responds to vibration. Masaru Emoto showed this clearly water can hold memory and react to emotion and sound.

THE SYSTEM KEPT YOU DEHYDRATED ON PURPOSE

They told you to fear the sun.

They told you water is just water.

They fed you dead water in plastic, full of xenoestrogens and BPA.

They filled your home with WiFi and blue light that scrambles biological signalling.

They made you believe that being tired, dry, inflamed, and foggy is normal.

It is not.

You are not designed to run on chemicals, sugar, or caffeine. You are designed to run on light, minerals, breath, and energy. And the bridge that connects all of that is structured water.

YOU ARE NOT MADE OF LIQUID. YOU ARE MADE OF LIGHT-CHARGED, LIVING WATER

You are not a machine. You are not just meat and bones and blood. You are a living battery. A fluid, vibrating, self-charging being, powered by sunlight, breath, and movement.

The next time you are low on energy, do not ask what supplement you need. Ask how charged your water is.

Sunlight is medicine.

Movement is energy.

Fruits are hydration.

Earthing is alignment.

Breath is electricity.

Your body already knows how to heal.

You just need to give it the conditions it was designed for.

Routinely Meditating

It was so hard to get out of bed this morning.

My tummy was playing up until about 2am so I didn’t get to sleep until late.

The alarm was set for 6am AND 6.30am because it’s meditation day and I knew 4 hours was not going to be enough sleep.

At 6.30am I hit ‘snooze’ four times so it was 7.15am by the time I forced myself to make a move.

This meant that I was rushing around like a crazy person for 30 mins trying to get ready.

I rode to the hall and it was exactly 8am when I sat down. Just in the nick of time!

As usual, it was a great class.

I met The Gypsy at her temporary place of residence and we had two good hours on the deck. During that time I received texts from both Adoring Husband and BGWLBH telling me that Harley had hurt his foot and was bleeding. These were followed by a phone call from AH.

I didn’t rush and when I arrived home at lunch time, Harley was jumping around on all four feet happy as Larry.

The reason I returned home early was so that I could prepare lamb shanks in the slow cooker, which turned out quite delicious.

We played trivia after dinner.

Now I’m tired and need to catch up on some sleep.

Spirituality

I enjoyed quite a spiritual day.

After playing with Harley, I rode my trike to the house where The Gypsy is house and pet sitting for four days.

We sat on the back deck in the Winter sunshine, overlooking the water. There was a strong cool breeze and as usual, lots of bird life in the trees. It really was quite lovely.

We shared our deepest thoughts on spirituality and how we use it to improve our lives and find a level of peace amidst the negativity that currently permeates the planet.

It was such an interesting conversation and four hours absolutely flew by.

I arrived home 20 minutes into the first footy match between Adoring Husband’s Cronulla Sharks and my Brisbane Broncos. My Broncos came back from 16 points behind to win by 2 points!

My position on the ladder remains the same, but I have gained 2 points on AH.

If Parramatta wins the next game over Titans, I will be very happy. If they lose, I will slip back to the same position that I was at the beginning of the round.

I made chicken scallopini with mash and steamed beans and carrots for dinner.

We played trivia between footy matches.

Next weekend, Wimbledon starts! Wahoo!

It’s not even 8pm but I’m ready for sleep.







Nite all.

It’s Saturday

BGWLBH did the ironing.

Adoring Husband got the new printer working properly and started prepping a position for the new compost bin. Our 3 yr old compost is being replaced for free because it has been gradually falling apart and can no longer be fixed.

I played with Harley, crumbed my prawn cutlets and ate them for brunch then watched a Netflix movie until the football started.

I have done poorly in footy tipping, but so has everybody else. We’ve all picked the same teams so far, so the lead hasn’t changed.

Everybody fended for themselves for dinner.

I ate half a tub of vanilla and pistachio Italian gelato. Yum!

Harley and I came to bed at about 6.30pm where I journaled while watching the footy. I completed 12 pages and had to stop because I had writers cramp. 

Now it’s time to sleep.

Taking it Easy

Such a good reminder. Innocence is something to be treasured and protected in a world that seems to have forgotten how important it is to healthy emotional development. 

A timely quote from Corrie ten Boom.

“Sex,” I was pretty sure, meant whether you were a boy or girl, and “sin” made my aunt @Tante Jans very angry, but what the two together meant I could not imagine. And so, seated next to Father in the train compartment, I suddenly asked, “Father, what is sexsin?”

He turned to look at me, as he always did when answering a question, but to my surprise he said nothing. At last he stood up, lifted his traveling case from the rack over our heads, and set it on the floor. 

“Will you carry it off the train, Corrie?” he said. 

I stood up and tugged at it. It was crammed with the watches and spare parts he had purchased that morning. 

“It’s too heavy,” I said.

“Yes,” he said. “And it would be a pretty poor father who would ask his little girl to carry such a load. It’s the same way, Corrie, with knowledge. Some knowledge is too heavy for children. When you are older and stronger you can bear it. For now you must trust me to carry it for you.” 

- from The Hiding Place: The Story of Corrie Ten Boom

We are asking our children to carry loads that are way too heavy for them. They should not be forced, as children, to see and feel the world through the lens of adults. 

Innocence is worth protecting and worth fighting for. We need to do our part as teachers, parents and caregivers to carry certain things for them until they are old enough to bear the load.

Thursday was a day in The Bay, with lots of shopping. The crisper drawers in the fridge were almost bare and by the time we finished shopping, the boot of the car was chockers!

Dinner was the last of the lasagne out of the freezer, served with garden salad.

Today was a gentle day on the couch. 

Adoring Husband drove into The Bay early to return our new photocopier/printer and returned with one that works.

That’s his MO. He always takes the faulty “thing” home and has to return it. Even now, I can print from my phone, but nothing happens when he tries to print from his iPhone or iPad. He can print from his laptop without issue.

Anything electrical or electronic is problematic.

I spent the day either playing outside with Harley, or parked on the couch watching Great Pottery Throw Down, Landscape Artist of the Year, a Netflix movie, my quiz shows and then in my bedroom watching Jetlag The Game on YouTube and now the football.

I drank a pineapple cruiser that didn’t agree with me - hence my time in bed watching Jetlag.

Now it’s time to sleep. The neighbours across the road sound like they are winding up for another party night.

Whew! A Win!

By the skin of our teeth!

QUEENSLANDER!!!

QLD 26 NSW 24

I had to leave the room in the final 4 minutes because the stress was too much for me!

Today was pretty quiet.

Adoring Husband drove into The Bay with a list and it could have been a peaceful morning for me, except he phoned me 5 times.

I did get to watch a couple of Art Masterclasses that AH had recorded for me.

Harley and I played.

I baked some banana bread.

I watched the movie “Sleepers”, an oldie but a goodie.

Dinner was a chicken pasta dish with a tomato, pumpkin and chilli based sauce. It received good reviews … another one of my made up concoctions.

We played trivia before State of Origin.

Now I will go to sleep feeling comfortable with the QLD win.

Discontented Me

I tried the new hairdresser in town today.

It has been exactly one year to the day since my last haircut!

I am not happy with the result and I won’t return.

I asked for 10cm off, but she cut almost 20cm. It’s uneven - the left front is about 1cm (or more) shorter than the right front.

She layered it so that it curls up instead of under. She partly blow dried it, which just left it full and fuzzy.

BGWLBH was kind enough to straighten it for me which added about 2cm to the length, but the layering is now so uneven and ugly. 

😩🫣🤬

I am grateful that she only charged me $34 for shampoo, condition, cut and partial blow dry … however, all of that took less than 25 mins.

I feel a bit confused and almost like she did it on purpose. She didn’t even use a mirror to show me the back and seemed to shuffle me out the door very quickly.

What makes all of that very strange, is that when I made the appointment, she gave me the options of 1pm or 3pm so that she could “give me quality time and give me the full experience.”

That is not what I received.

I don’t get it.

Luckily I had been to meditation this morning.

Dinner was a mixed bag tonight. Adoring Husband got leftover hamburger patties with chips and salad. BGWLBH got chips with curly salad and dressing. I had a leftover pork sausage.

I was certain that it was Wednesday and I was preparing for State of Origin! Only 24 hours too early haha.

Now I’m in bed feeling sorry for myself and my crappy haircut.

Time to sleep.
