Thanks a minion!

My life's not all posh frocks and fascinators you know.
It's the Aussie Party season and they're coming thick and fast...
Crazy Poodle licks his lips still from all the treats following his photoshoot below!
Last Friday was our Volunteer party with a theme of Superheros and Villains.
With over one thousand volunteers, it was always going to be quite some do.
As it was, quite some 'to-do,' to work out what on earth to wear!
I decided to go as Wonder Woman until I was politely reminded that  
volunteers are the superheros, staff were supposed to be the villains... Oops!

Bit disappointed not, about missing out on all that lycra!
What on earth to wear - Footscray street art from our building.
Luckily, we have an amazing staff team, resourcefulness is what we do best.
One of our team values is humour, fun and celebration
and this came to the fore last weekend - BIG time.
We're going as the loveable villains Minions from Despicable Me, help!
We have a kaleidoscope of multicultural hidden 
pasts and talents amongst our wee group of staff. 
These are constantly uncovered to inspire at times of need. 
Who'd have thought one of us used to be a costume designer? 
Massive hug for that previous life and the fact that K-Mart have Minion googles!

So a sewing machine arrives and we are transformed into Minions.
Cute Minion yellow hats are made, amidst much talk of Banannnnnas!
Wot a laugh, love being part of the team in this way.

 Thanks a Minion, love you Guys!

PS : I'm not sure our Crazy Poodle minion quite got into the spirit,
although he will do ANYTHING for a Kangaroo treat! 
Thanks to Beverley at How Sweet The Sound 
for featuring the Crazy Poodle's Melbourne Cup outfit 
as the one that caught her eye this week!

Linking with Blue Monday and Our World Tuesday
Thanks Sally and all the hosts at OWT.

And a special shout out to Jenny at 
Warm Heart Wednesday 
I'm happy to join in the fun!

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...
