Blue toes excitements!

Hello, how are you doing? It's been another great week here in Thailand.             'I have found that if you love life, life will love you back'. Arthur Rubinstein Sixteen weeks ago I painted my toenails turquoise blue and life's been good ever since.  Who knew such a simple change could make all the difference? Pull up a chair and I'll tell you all about it! I've always had pink toes, maybe coral, and very occasionally,  I've worn red nail polish at Christmas.  My blue toes are my sign to myself to get out there,  to have fun and do something different. I mean let's face it unless something's gone drastically wrong in the day,  you've always got your feet with you, haven't you?  In Thailand, we never wear socks, so I have a secret, constant reminder to: Do it different, stay out of the ordinary!

I have been asked to write in magazines and I'm enjoying speaking at coffee mornings at the various Thailand Women's Associations.  I'm loving this feeling of personal growth and development .

Bangkok Blogger's Blooming Adventures

Hello everyone and how are you? Thank you so much for the lovely comments on my last post. I'm pleased I managed to give you a giggle! So I did chuckle to find this bed in our next hotel. Wot no towel art insight? Where are the love swans? Loved the funky backdrop though. Can you work out where we are? Yes, I have just done a quick dash to Singapore. Mr Wren was there for work and boy could I do with some help with the friendly staff at Apple, Orchard Road. All these blogging adventures and I have a massive I need  Help list.  I signed myself up for 10 classes in three days, luckily we stay really close to the Apple store.  Hope you like the smudgy writing on the Today at Apple ! My camera is my iPhone and I always feel it is important to keep up my learning to produce the best photos I can. The 'Today at Apple ' lessons enable me to keep going when all around me have many cameras. On one trip recently, one blogger even used a drone. I'm
