My Melbourne madhouse continued...

Five on Friday:

My week in a nutshell!

1. I'm counting down to my 11 weeks in Europe, and it's frantic.

I haven't exactly lost the plot yet and taken all my clothes off

to meditate towards the ocean

but ....

Easter walk at Somers beach, Mornington Peninsula

2. We did have a much talked about Family night at a burlesque show at Easter

which our (adult) kids warned us was going to be

'all naked women and nipple tassels...'

"Don't be silly" I said,

"It's Spiegelious!

They've hired a Belgium Spiegeltent,

it's a classy show

it's like Cirque du Soleil just in our seaside town.

I was right it was classy.

The girls had nude coloured undies

and lots of gold and sparkling diamonds...

Ha! We all had a great night but...

Spegelicious tent, Sorrento, Mornington Peninsula

3. Eighteen year old Son perhaps still traumatised from 2 above,

well, the bit about going with his parents...

wasn't concentrating at Soccer training,

or went in for a brilliant tackle, which ever way you look at it,

and has broken his ankle...

Do you like his natty footwear?

Stepping out in Melbourne

4. In preparation for my big trip,

we did a gigantic Costco shop.

I bought a mammoth supply of loo roll.

Well I don't want the family to be caught short whilst I'm away...

It was a only a little bit hard to carry into the house,

with crutches, and still learning to be less wobbly in a moon boot.

No, of course I'm not leaving any food or anything else.

They've got to miss me you know,

and find it hard...

Haven't they?

Returning from Costco@!

5. Various trips to the Melbourne Comedy Festival

have brightened the week,

Well you have to laugh don't you?

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 ...

Little Wobbly Wren

Hello everyone and how are you doing? For those of you in the depths of winter hang on in there. I'm sure Spring is just around the corner! I had a memorable few weeks in January. Summer in Australia is usually my favourite time of year. This year it had a few challenges! Weather: Here in Australia, a fter the bushfires came the much-needed rains. I have never seen the parks and gardens of Melbourne looking so lush in February. W e had everything, and the kitchen sink, thrown at us weather-wise. The year continued with cyclones, flooding and storms pounding our country. I spotted this Melbourne street art and agreed with its sentiments. Our cars were pitted from the hail damage from a tropical storm and we seem to be constantly clearing up from dust storms which have covered us in a red layer. No-one will ever dare complain as we are lucky compared with those who lost loved ones, property and businesses and the devastation to t...
