Good morning ladies,
well it,s official time does not stand still. Yesterday l reached that l can't imagine ever being 50 mark. Yes l am now a middle aged women. O.K with that comes a sense of achievement, an inner wisdom only acquired through years and years of mistakes and actually as l sit here NOW a sense of pride. But alas there goes that faultless complexion,that carefree attitude that comes with knowing you have got years before you turn 50 and of course should l eat that because you know your metabolism car,nt burn it off anymore.
I did have a day very much like any other although every day you don't get a beautiful bunch of flowers delivered to your door in a taxi. l wish l could send you an imagine but alas l still haven't mastered that. But imagine if you will the most stunning arrangement filled with a collection of all flowers. Orchids, roses, lily,irises and many others. It's such a joy to receive flowers. Also was given Italian Food Safari cook book, yeah. When my family give me cook books l know it's because they know l love them, but also because they know l will cook from them for THEM.

It wasn't really just another day because off to lunch we went. Providore was our place of choice. It's connected with the Margret River Choc place. They cook with alot of what grows in their veggie garden and what is in season. Our lunches were delicious and so was my fig and candied walnut pudding with butterscotch sauce.Yum, yum.
L had to take off to the beach with Tilly after that to walk off and help digest my lunch.
So l am 50 NOW as we speak and there is this sense of unknowing but with that is a feeling of new beginnings.

Oh by the way if anyone is feeling a bit tense this week (like me) take note that a full moon approaches and also several planets are banging heads. So word of advice is think before you speak, don't take things to personally and if someone is withdrawing give them space. Glad l read that at the beginning of the week so as l did'nt rip everyones head off.

So l am off for b/fast now. Where is Nic she is not blogging?


Cheers Renate
