Little Wandering Wren …. chats!

We wake this morning to the beep, beep, beeping  of the security alarm and a burning smell.  My bedside light won't turn on.  The electrics are out. Have you got time for a cuppa? Let's make it a big one. This could take a while... It's a big cuppa sort of a day! It's the 5th day of winter  and the heating has broken.  Why?  Why, when it had all of last summer,  or even all of the last few autumn months, why does it have to break now? 'It's shagged' says the tradie* "Shagged? ' I repeat thinking I can't put that on my blog 'Yeah it's F*****' says his young assistant helpfully, Hmmm, 'Please not the F word, that's worse...!' What is wrong with the youth of today?! 'Caput**, Cactus***' he mumbles, knowing he's overstepped the mark  'Thank you, that's better I say,  the C word is perfect' 'Wot???' he says...

June is our first day of Winter  Down Under   and I've accepted several challenges to keep me busy  and to avoid the winter blues... 1.

It is Melbourne month for me,  as I'm not leaving Australia at all in June. It will be a journey of discovery into my everyday life. Join me for some fresh air in our local National Parks Just to make it really exciting for you I've accepted a challenge to clear out my drawers!! There! I knew that would have you on board, here for the ride, up for the adventure etc. Yes, not only are we not going anywhere, we are staying in, dear Blogger friends  doing chores... Happy? This is really just to distract myself from the fact that in July  I am going to Bangkok. Which as anyone who listens to the news at the moment  will tell ...
