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!!

Followed Through

So I said I would have a fresh motivated start today.

And I did.

I not only woke up early, but also got out of bed early, showered, rode down to see the boys at the Seat of Knowledge, bought my coffee and came home to study. I put in six hours of solid study today, with one break when I pedalled to the Post Office to replenish printer paper stocks and another break to take a photograph.

The flickr challenge this month is 'Simplicity' and I had an idea in the middle of my studies, so I stopped for twenty minutes to take a couple of shots. I won't be using this one, but I had to try it.


So obviously there is nothing to write here .. I'm sure you're not interested in eyes, ears, taste and pain, which is what I studied today.

True to form, it's after midnight, so I'm off to bed.

Nite all.
