It feels great, Big Red (and thanks Fanny!) especially as Nog took me to Barcelona for my 50th birthday present. You can read about it here...

And photos are slowly making their way here, as I am able to upload and organise them ...

It really was the best birthday present ever and also the best holiday either of us have ever had.

So pleased you had a great time az. It's really inspiring to hear, because I really do fear growing old. You do seem to have a brilliant and positive attitude to it. Excellent!

Great pictures az!

Why do you fear getting old, Fanny, if that's not too personal to ask?

I turn 50 one month from today, and find I don't mind growing older at all. I am more fit and more smart than I was when I was 20, I weigh the same amount as I did then and I'm definitely enjoying life wayyyy more.

I have a knee that's getting a bit stiff and won't let me do certain yoga postures anymore (forget lotus, for example). But so what?

And I finally don't have to wash my hair every day anymore! Woo-hoo!

Frankly, I can't wait for menopause. Any month now, I hope. (TMI, I'm sure.)

My husband and I are going to hike down the Grand Canyon this fall to celebrate my 50th. I thought that was the perfect way to do it.

I would say I can't wait for retirement because I have so many plans, but I have 17 years and six months to go so I won't "wish my life away," as my mother used to say when I was a little girl. (She's 86 and doing great, by the way.)

I've started a new blog for food lovers - the 'casa az 24-hour diner'. Feel free to join in on the conversation threads and also share your favourite recipes.

I've started a new page on my blog that is all about Sevilla...

It's still very much 'under construction' as is the new sub-page I started today about tapa bars and restaurants...

Getting a bit political lately ...

"History shows there are certain steps that any would-be dictator must take to destroy constitutional freedoms. According to Naomi Wolf in this morning’s Grauniad, George Bush and his administration seem to be taking them all"

"Crow calls for limit on loo paper
In my opinion it’s ‘celebrity environmentalists’ like this who give a bad name to the whole global environmental movement that is seriously trying to make things better"

Decoding The Secret.
Oprah lives by it. Millions are reading it. The latest self-help sensation claims we can change our lives by thinking. But this ‘new thought’ may just be new marketing.

A new blog! Well okay, it's actually an old blog that I've revamped and revived. With the very self-explanatory (and kinda boring) name *making changes*. I'm trying to think of something better to call it...
