Monday Mural: Poleaxed in the Park!

As I lay splat on the grass at the Darebin Parklands,

taken out by an overweight, black Labrador,

with a surprising turn of speed,

I remembered this graffiti of an angry man seeing stars

that I had taken earlier in my walk!

Graffiti at Darebin Creek

We were having a lovely walk along the Darebin Creek

admiring the bush countryside, only 7km from the city centre.

The Crazy Poodle and I taking full advantage of a break in the clouds.

It had been a difficult week for dog walks,

every time we went out

Mutt and I came back like drowned rats!

Darebin Creek - July 2014

Fat Lab had obviously not got out much either

I didn't even see him coming!

Crazy Poodle sensed his lumbering arrival,

and in his usual brave state, cowered behind my legs.

Fat Lab went straight through me.

I wish I'd managed to do a perfect triple ludz

But I didn't.

Fallen red gum tree - Darebin Parklands

He hit me right at

the point where I had spent the past four weeks

having physiotherapy on my knee.

My physio will love me, I thought! $$$$$$$$$$$

The two dogs took off

leaving me face down in the mud.

Crazy poodle came back sheepish...

Winter in Darebin Parklands

I figured Fat Lab was notorious in the park

why else would there be an angry man seeing stars?

I wished I'd had a can of spray paint with me

I'd have added a women seeing stars!!

Autumn Spice and everything nice!

Hey, what ever happened to Summer? I hope yours was lovely, mine was pretty amazing! It feels like my whole year has whizzed past in a flash, how about yours? I've had a year of saying "yes" to everything offered to me. It has been exciting to put it out to the Universe to see where I should be. We feel very fortunate to be able to do this in my husband's early years of retirement. I'm just back in Asia from the US. I never feel my year is quite right without seeing British daffodils in the Spring and a pumpkin and the leaves turning in Autumn. Yay, the world nailed it this year, thank you. Read on to find out what happened when my ultimate yes occurred on a trip to Montana to meet Ruth, an IG friend. I know Bloggers will smile and not be at all concerned, we've been meeting up around the globe for years, haven't we...?! But let's just say some of my family and friends were, you're doing what?! But first some Little Wren updates! France I had so

Taipei Adventures, naked - moi?!

I have to tell you all about my little adventure in Taipei recently, naked at the Hot Springs! I can't believe that I have never been to Taiwan, I certainly urge you all to go if you ever get the chance. For me, I loved the combination of influences of two countries I enjoy. Street views from Downtown Taipei The Chinese left some interesting historical influences and stunning architecture, which combined with a Japanese legacy and efficiency in transportation, makes Taipei an easy place to visit, with so much to see. Nowadays, Taiwan has emerged as a thoroughly modern city, I loved my time there. It felt exotic and safe until I had to get my kit off. It was a spur of the moment decisions to join my husband on his Taiwanese business trip, prompted by the delay in the arrival of our furniture into Bangkok, and ‘no room at the inn’ where we had been staying. Given that I’m commitment and fancy-free in Thailand; there’s no job, no kids, no dog and absolutely nothing in

It's a funny old world!
