Little Wandering Wren …. chats!

Oh, the joys of packing up... With our Summer holiday and our involvement in the Australian Open tennis largely behind us, attention must be focussed on our upcoming move to Bangkok. The packers are in tomorrow. Somehow this has not been an easy move, but then are they ever? It got a tad complicated when my house-hunting trip to Bangkok before Christmas saw us return without resolving the issue of where to live... As we have nowhere to live, we are not sure what to take, or what to leave in storage. Our first appointment with Santa Fe WridgWays, our removal company found us disorganized, unenthusiastic (me) and with totally different opinions of what we wanted to pack, store or chuck. Mr. Santa Fe politely told me later this is perfectly normal behaviour! It was disappointing that our house-hunting trip to Bangkok had ended badly. The first day was full of promise and I excitedly determined a shortlist of three apartments which would more than do for our new nes...

Oh my golly gosh there is so much going on around here. I'm sorry I've not been around much except on my @LWWren Instagram.  I hope you've got time for a cuppa and I'll fill you in! Big news!  We've had our first day of warm, sunny weather. It is an absolutely glorious weekend for  the first start of  Melbourne Cup's Spring Racing Carnival. Phew, it's rather a relief as we wondered whether we were going to be stuck in Winter forever. Melbourne is looking lovely. Never better in fact. All that rain has left our parks and gardens looking unusually lush and green.  Oh Melbourne, you're making it tough to leave... It's been fabulous to take in a lungful of that Aussie fresh air and to ponder what's ahead. Next big news:   I've finished work!  I have for the past few months been in a temporary role with  Australia's largest provider of aid for people seeking asylum. I leave with very mixed feelings. ...
