Antiageing qualities of a good belly laugh

 

Hi Babyboomers
 We love a good belly laugh. I actually believe it is the basis of a real friendship when you share a similar sense of humour - when you really really laugh!!!!! And it feels sooooooo good.
Being with babies, toddlers and grandchildren spark this fresh new insight into how we are - and I adore them. When my children were at this stage, I smiled so much I was afraid that I would develop eye wrinkles. But I now know that those laugh lines on my face are an endorsement of my view of life. So I embrace them.

When my daughter picked up her first phone (the first of many calls!!!!!) she said " BlahBlahblah HaHaHa BlahBlahblah HaHaHa!!!! which made me realise that her mimicking was of my phone habit. Time moved on and phone manners morphed and swayed, but laughter always prevailed with my son and daughter. It is the glue that holds us together during the good and tough times. With it we move forward with grace - without it, we can get lost in a self centred focus.

Babyboomers have a rich memory bank of stars

Hi there babyboomers

Some wonderful photos from our decades. I know that every older generation is convinced that the sun is setting on a golden age, but you have to admit we experienced a giant share of charismatic 'stars', many of whom are still in the limelight.

Favourites among these have to be Elton, with Marilyn and JFK the winner for intrigue. Least favourite is George - he looks much better now.

Barbershop harmony gladdens the heart

Dear Babyboomers
I responded to an invitation from a  friend,   "Some of our Northern Beaches Chorus group will be singing at the Mosman Art Gallery, come along."

\

So pleased that I went along - singing gladdens the heart.  Many happy childhood memories are of being around the piano with Mum playing, and Dad singing at the top of his voice, head back, loving the moment.   'Mona Lisa was his favourite and he sang it every time, with gusto.  Every now and then we would break into some harmony of sorts, which brings me back now to the Northern Beaches Chorus.  
I looked up the website http://www.northernbeacheschorus.com.au/
to find out more.



....Northern Beaches Chorus is a Sydney women's choir which sings 4-part acappella harmony, has approx 80 members, regularly performs on stage, and appears in local events and national competition. '
"We love to share our joy of singing with women of all ages and backgrounds in our local community and the chorus provides a whatsource of education in vocal production and showmanship"  ........

And this is what shone through - sheer enjoyment of their moment which I was able to share via the body language and harmony.  Have a look at the video to see what I mean.

Thanks lovely ladies.

When the goin' gets tough - the tough go shopping!

Hi babyboomers


I had had enough of it today, after a social drought due to G being away, so I did what women do - "When the goin' gets tough, the tough go shopping." I still had some credit on a gift card, and I received some vouchers by email for special discounts so I set off to redeem my bargains.


I looked around for a garment which would make a difference to our Europe trip, and still work seasonally now, and found a casual multi-functional khaki top which could work with or without a layer underneath. It takes ages to choose, as you know, as I returned to try it on again, and decided to go for it. Then collected a jeans belt I had selected in order to pay for the two together.


Nothing worked - you had to purchase to the value of $75 in order to get a $20 dollar discount; I had printed off a few vouchers, so thought I was in front. But no. You have to read the copious small print - what it boiled down to was there were a few dull Myer only brands to which this applied, but the top I had chosen was excluded, as were all of the other decent brands. Then because the belt cost less than $75 I didn't get any discount there either. I felt in "why bother with voucher mode" but since I now wanted the Khaki top, and the belt, and had spent hours choosing them, I bought them at original price.

They got me! All part of the game. But I have to say they won't next time.

I find myself more than ever drawn to the comfort of creating

Hi Babyboomers
I thought you might relate to this blog from my rediscovered and clever friend, Renotta, known as R. She wrote, "In these difficult times with so much unrest, destruction and sadness I find myself more than ever drawn to the comfort of creating



May you weave joy and happy memories

 "I hadn't worked at my loom for several years, but something was drawing me to it again. I admit I was afraid that the years of neglect would somehow have taken its toll, and I would not be able to weave. But with a little bit of loving care, some drops of oil, and a quick refresher from weaving 101, I was back at it. I had forgotten how much I enjoy the whole process; winding the shuttles, listening to the rhythmical sound of the harnesses and watching the fabric grows row by row, inch by inch.

I'm weaving with hand dyed wool yarns in a simple twill pattern. My plan is fabric for a coat, but who knows. At this stage it doesn't really matter. Just the fact that I am weaving again makes me happy. From where I sit, I can see everything much more clearly.
In the loom of life may you weave joy and happy memories.  R

Will my friends laugh at me for playing bowls?

John and Me - Lesson 5

Hi Babyboomers


Yes, it's me - learning to play bowls!


The game summary seemed to fit into 'Exercise with a purpose' for this gym dropout'






Summary - Lawn bowls is a precision sport that is played for the challenge and competition, personal enjoyment, physical activity, the pleasure of spending time outdoors and for social interaction. It is also a low impact, therapeutic form of exercise. Add to that a few of my own - not too expensive, doesn't take up the whole day, and best of all, not too serious or arduous for this granny. A few concerns were "Bowling is a game for old people and surely that doesn't include me" and "You won't get much exercise", and the most concerning, "Wearing that white gear definitely doesn't turn me on." Oh and one more serious one,"My friends will laugh at me!"

 Mosman Bowling Club prides itself
on its beautiful old building, gardens
and its well maintained greens

Despite these misgivings, I signed up for the five lessons offered by Mosman Evening College to explore the possibilities. On Saturday morning I turned up at Mosman Bowling Club which prides itself on its beautiful old building, gardens and its well maintained greens, to find I was the only enrolled student. This was somewhat daunting, as an hour's personal tuition could be serious, where I might be called upon to perform. I actually have really good hand / eye co-ordination - I say to G that I could have been good at something. And maybe this is it!
John is a great coach - quiet and understated, he delivers his game wisdom well. I know that if I follow the important points of delivery, then I can expect to achieve consistency.


So, I am launching myself into the 'Lawn Bowls Scene' - firstly with Mufti Day where you just turn up and play on a Friday afternoon, so I don't have to address most of my concerns yet. Will keep you up to date.

Priorities and Confessions of a gym dropout

Clara is now a gym drop-out and
prefers other  activities



 
Dear Babyboomers
Now a self-confessed 'Gym Dropout' since last year, I adopted the idea of 'Exercise with a Purpose' - the concept being that if you have places you need to go, then walk there, or spend time in the garden sweeping  paths etc.  Cutting the hedge, for example, is a great way to exercise the dreaded upper arms while working in the garden definitely helps to restore positive mental equilibrium. I recall one of Jane Fonda's exercise tapes had one exercise called "PULL WEEDS ! PULL WEEDS! - she was always so urgent in her requests so I did as I was told.


I am currently writing a book about walks in my area so this also provides many opportunities to get out there and exercise / walk with a purpose along with regular morning walks. Then the 10 minutes of additional exercise such as some pelvic floor / abdomen stuff, some resistance activities using a stretchy car octopus, and a few basic moves using 2kg / 4lb weights.


All that is good. But - while I'm in confession mode - I do get up early, to walk with G. I really really really want to, but sometimes I really really really really want just a few more precious lifesaving minutes in foggy sleep. Fortunately for me, G heaps disappointment upon me so being an approval seeker, I do my best. However, with daylight saving ending soon, it is going to be darker, colder, harder. Follow my progress!  Re the 10 minutes exercise - you know what - it doesn't always happen. One exercise I do religiously, however, redeems me slightly - ie in waiting for the shower to heat up - with hands behind you grasping the edge of the bath, fingers pointing forward, 20 strong knee bends with pelvic awareness; this  exercises many essential muscles all at the one time, including the dreaded upper arms I keep referring to. This is my naked truth! And the good part is I am still asleep.

A new mantra - ie "I'm going to walk before I talk, jog before I blog and stretch before I sit," because for me, it's all about routine and priorities.
Clara
ps - It would be great to hear what works for you.

Qualities of a woman

Hi there babyboomer women

I received this email with a time frame to send on, which I find inconvenient. However, I enjoyed the content so pass it on to the wonderful women out there, with love and appreciation perhaps for the thought of the day

Clara
One Flaw In Women
Women have strengths that amaze men.....
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in..
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give..
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

And flowers are a nice touch

Hi Babyboomers


Happy Valentine's Day to you all.

And from Sophocles - One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life; That word is love.

Oedipus at Colonus

Special message to the Guys
 I have to say that I empathise with you today knowing that it may not be easy to surprise and express love on this day of expectation.


Hugh Mackay on love - 'Love' must be the most flexible word in the English language..... So what kind of love do we desire? Romantic, erotic, altruistic, parental, sacrificial, familial, material, ethereal, companionate, divine?

Those and more. Love in all its varieties and manifestations, lights us up. Love has the power to enlarge the spirit; to bring out the best in us; to encourage a greater openness to others and to inspire us to perform acts of kindness. Love comforts us, reassures us and boosts our confidence in ourselves.

Thanks Hugh - I'm sure you won't disappoint your loved one. But for others out there, a couple of helpful hints from Clara.

• Whilst I know you don't fall for the commercialisaton of the day, and your loved one may have assured you that she doesn't want anything at all, it is a brave man who heeds that request -
  
• Having said the above, what women want more than anything else is to feel that they are special, and this doesn't necessarily mean material trappings. To just take time out of your day to turn off the TV, hold her hand, look into her eyes and tell her how you feel about her should do the trick.
• Yes G, this may mean not playing Squash tonight
• and flowers are a nice touch.
  Love Clara - By the way, I am giving G a card with the promise of a massage.

Empathy for flood victims returning to devastated homes

Dear Babyboomers



Most tragic are the lives swept away in the flood waters of Queensland and northern New South Wales, but those returning to their devastated homes face loss of possessions, memories and hopes.
 Despite the generosity of Queensland Flood Appeal and the emergency response to the immediate physical needs of flood victims, there is a heavy emotional toll. Many people despair with the trauma and stress following a natural disaster as they rebuild their lives in the weeks and months to come.


A tribute to home - "Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in"..... Robert Frost
or "Home is where the heart is" or "Home is where I hang my hat"


Hugh Mackay - 'What makes us tick?'    "Shelter to protect us from the elements, to have an uninterrupted night's sleep and to keep our stuff secure. Shelter is so fundamental to our comfort and, indeed our survival - almost on a par with our need for food and drink." and " .....partly an anchor, partly a refuge, partly a stable reference point in a world that seems kaleidoscopic in the complexity of its shifting patterns."



Whatever the definition, we can but try to empathise how it must feel to suddenly feel that loss of home. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you restore your home and your faith.

Long live the creative spirit (and the poncho)

Hi there Babyboomers
This blog is in response to Oediles' request for a knitting or crochet pattern for a garment I included in a previous blog -Oedile wrote, "I love Poncho Viva---is there somewhere I can get a pattern for this to knit or crochet it?"


For those of you who like a good project to keep you interested, I thought I would introduce you to my clever, creative friend, Renotta, who is in short, amazing!  Treat yourself by visiting her site www.shopatnextdoor.com where she has several blogs - one where she photographs something she creates every day for a year (countdown time in February) "One a day blog' and another where she posts how to make some of the pieces http://projectknitway.blogspot.com
She and I also blog together on http://grannycircle.blogspot.com   but I am not as clever as she is - however someone said to me once,"If you hang around with clever people you become clever yourself", so you never know.  The pattern for Poncho Viva is below but you will find many more on http://projectknitway.blogspot.com/


Clara

Poncho Viva

Poncho Viva
I had a request for the "how to" on this poncho. It's one of my favorite pieces to knit and is super easy whether you knit by hand or machine. It's basically just one long rectangle 26" wide and 60" long. Here again you just have to know your gauge. For example, if it's 4 st/" and 5 rows/" cast on 104 st and knit 300 rows. You can knit textured stitches or the faux rib stitch I've previously discussed or just about any stitch that fancies you. Once you have the rectangle knit, fold it in half and stitch up the shoulder seam and the side seam as shown in the diagram. You can sew the seams by hand or machine, whatever your preference. In blogs ahead, I'll add collars and other decorative touches to make your poncho unique. So enjoy your knitting and long live the poncho

Oscar Wilde, "A New Year Resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other."

Hi there Babyboomers

Time to reflect and move forward with or without a New Years' Resolution.  Oscar Wilde wrote," A New Year Resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other."
and "Good resolutions are simply cheques that men draw on a bank where they have no account."


I like this one by Hal Borland - "Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us."
So do we or do we not make one????  I found some of Sonja Lyubomirsky's hints to be helpful from her recent book 'The How of Happiness'.   
 A summary of a goal's / project's ideal characteristics.


Identify what you expect to accomplish

* Imposed by self
* Approach rather than avoidance
* Flexible and be able to work with other aspects of your life
* Activity based - not relying on circumstance


Identify and Imagine the most positive outcome of your goal and the biggest obstacle that stands in the way. (The obstacle bit apparently is the tricky part which most of us don't think through.) They give the example re specific details of when and where and how the person wants to act in critical situations. For example; If the goal is to "eat more fruit and vegetables", the subject might think of how they will act in restaurants, when travelling , and at other situations where they may be tempted not to follow through with the goal. Then they have to specify the behaviour they would do with an ..."if I am at a restaurant and they ask about dessert, then I will choose options with fruit, not cake."

 We are under the influence of Oprah after her recent visit, who said, "Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right."
 

"Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right."

 We know she struggles too with getting it right.

Happy New Year.

Reviving the Spirit of Christmas

Dear Babyboomers,
I have to agree in principle with Fifi Box, in her article in the Sunday magazine from the Daily Telegraph,

"What we seem to have lost among the garlands of tinsel and the reams of wrapping paper is the spirit of Christmas.  Yes, it may all seem a bit touchy-feely, but it's not the giving and receiving of material things that we should celebrate, it's the sharing of time and love with our family and friends. If, like me, you're exhausted by the exchange of meaningless, last minute presents and want to share your love in a different way  there are alternatives......  Kris Kringle schemes, home-made presents or World Vision purchases of a goat or a duck which is delivered to a family in a Third World country."
Fifi concludes by "wondering how many of our carefully chosen presents end up in the temporary purgatory of the bottom drawer.  Then after a respectable time lapse, of course, they find their ultimate resting place, either regifted or on offer at a garage sale." 


And Fifi would most likely only be in her thirties, if that - a surprising viewpoint from a young person, perhaps we would expect  this attitude from someone older.  I have to say reluctantly, that I share her sentiments, and whilst I enjoy Christmas when it arrives, the brainstorming for the perfect gift is stressful, attempting to gauge the interests and desires of each person and reconcile that with the budget.  We are up to our 13th grandchild, nearly 14th, (two marriages!), so have had to become more efficient at the process. 


To conclude, a few words about opening presents and showing appreciation.  As a single parent of two, one Christmas I was overwelmed by stretching the already stretched dollar and time factor, only to have toys etc strewn all over the house after Santa took all the credit for this enormous effort.   The next year, things were different - Santa's stuff in the stockings (pillow cases), could be opened on waking, a quick breakfast, off to church to celebrate the religious meaning, then to sit around the tree to open other presents, one at a time, thanking and appreciating.  It felt much better.

Hi BB's
Parsley Salsa Verde with olive oil provides health and taste to pasta  - It's actually not about the recipe - more about the oil.  I dedicate this post to my BIL (Brother in Law  xxx).  More to come, Umberto.
Clara

 

Pasta with salsa verde



 






















Loaded with flavour and nutrition, this is a sensationally, simple way to serve your favourite short pasta. Great as an accompaniment or stirfry 24 green prawns in a little oil for 1 to 2 mins and add to pasta for a main course to serve 4


For Salsa Verde, pulse to a smooth paste:-
1 1/2 cups (1 average bunch) flat leaf parsley
2 cloves garlic
1 to 2 tbsp capers
2 anchovy fillets
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil or more up to 1/2 cup (I prefer to serve olive oil on table for individual choice - see note)
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1tsp Dijon mustand
Salt & Pepper


Cook 400g / 12oz short pasta in boiling salted water until al dente then drain (reserve 4 tbsp cooking water). Toss pasta with Salsa Verde (adding a little reserved water if needed.)
Note - The Olive Oil Factor
Endorsing the Mediterranean-style diet, recognised by experts as a healthy way to eat, particularly as we age, with a heavy focus on vegetables, fruits, fish, legumes, whole grain and of course olive oil. High in mono-unsaturated fats, olive oil has been linked to a reduction in coronary heart disease risk and cholesterol.


In the United States, producers of olive oil may place the following health claim on product labels:
Limited and not conclusive scientific evidence suggests that eating about 2 tbsp of olive oil daily may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease due to the monounsaturated fat in olive oil. To achieve this possible benefit, olive oil is to replace a similar amount of saturated fat and not increase the total number of calories you eat in a day.

Raw parsley cleanses the blood, maintains elasticity of blood vessels, and is said to benefit the sexual system

 Hi there Babyboomers
Raw parsley cleanses the blood, maintains elasticity of blood vessels, and is said to benefit the sexual system. Chewing parsley prevents bad breath!  How good is that?

Flat leaf / continental / Italian parsley said to have the best taste

I have grown parsley in our small plot, and what's more, from seed. It likes the rich, well dug soil and a sunny position (it grows in part sun in our plot) and grows well in pots. What I like about it that it keeps on growing, actually being a biennial and is always ready to be harvested to be used in salads, savoury dishes such as pasta and as a garnish.  Keep reading and eat more parsley.

Clara

Used as a garnish curly
parsley is far too nutritious
to be limited to that.

petroselinum crispum


Parsley is one of the most important herbs for providing vitamins to the body. It's like an immune-enhancing multi-vitamin and mineral complex in green plant form - with more vitamin C than any other vegetable - three times as much as oranges and about the same as blackcurrants, twice as much iron as spinach, rich in Vitamin A it also contains folate, potassium, calcium and flavonoids that act as antioxidants.

History The English introduced it to the world after getting it from the Romans who got it from the Ancient Greeks who thought that Hercules used a garland of parsley so they would crown the winners of games and war with garlands of parsley in honour of the great feats of Hercules. Greek soldiers fed parsley to their horses so they would run better.To view or add comment, click on comments at bottom of page or send an email - clara@babyboomerconnections.com.au

Small plot yields antiageing greens

Hi Babyboomers

Today was a beautiful day in Sydney following serious serial rain.


As you know I am passionate about leafy greens and herbs, so today G and I sowed some seeds - flat leafed parsley, known for it's excellent flavour, spinach (perpetual leaf, easy to grow with continuous cropping - according to the packet), some shallots for salads which harvest in 8-12 weeks, to join the existing rocket which can be sown all year round - love the peppery flavour added to roasted veges, and wilted rocket is divine. Our basil crop is doing well - this part of the land has a few hazards re survival of the species - insects, possums (protected).


It was a good day, as G & I worked our little plot which doesn't have quite enough sun and even though the yield isn't huge, I adore being able to pick a few leafy greens, knowing that they are such a powerhouse re antiageing qualities.  I throw them in with roast vegetables, use them as a bed for seafood and meat, or simply use in salads.

Keeping contact by sharing finger food rewarding for Babyboomers

Hi Babyboomers
Keeping in contact with friends has to be the most rewarding and important action we take.  These are the people who grow older with us, who understand us, who don't look at us with critical eyes cos  - yes  'Times they are achanging' and will ever change. 
'Fruit is fun' - the video -  December Babies 2009  - fun times for us all as we continue to  keep up with our friends. I'll let the video tell the story of how we all get together each year  -  but the secret is to share  - finger food is my answer - the women bring a plate of finger food and guys bring drinks/alcohol.  No stress just fun.
