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?

Hello Summer 2023!

Hello Everyone I hope you are having a wonderful July whereever you are in the world. As it's been a wee while since I stopped by I thought I'd fill you in.  The last three months have been epic. Here is my flight schedule alone: Phuket --> Bangkok --> Singapore --> Melbourne --> Gold Coast (overland to --> Brisbane --> Sydney --> Phuket --> Bangkok --> London --> Paris (overland to Montpellier) --> London. As they say I haven't been everywhere yet but it's on my list! April ended up being an incredible month as I returned to Australia, thanks to a wonderful invite to attend a 7 night Detox at Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat in Queensland. Here is a little excerpt:  Gwinganna Detox Program I’ve been invited to join a  seven-night detox program  at Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat. They are winners of the  World’s Best Eco Spa Awards  (2022 World Spa Awards) and it is beyond exciting. Well, until I read the small print… So it’s no gluten, dairy,

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

It's a funny old world!
