The Melbourne Homecoming.

I had planned to be in Melbourne, Australia this week, our first return visit 
after leaving two of our adult kids in charge of the house and our beloved dog.

The move to Bangkok, was not going to suit our adorable Crazy Poodle,
he does not like change at the best of times.
The climate and humidity of Thailand, plus our on-the-road lifestyle
meant he was going to be best left, even if slightly bored, 
in his home environment.

So the kids have lucked out and have ended up remaining in our family home
when logic would say move them into a smaller apartment...
Mostly because I wanted the dog to be happy!

Bless, here he is!

After:



Do you think there might have been a little bit of clean-up going on 
for our return? I mean if the dog's transformation is anything to go by, 
just think what could have been done spring cleaning the house?!

POSTSCRIPT: Things did not quite work out as planned.  
I am now with family in the UK, not Australia following my Grand Mother's recent passing.
Love you all Down Under! Keep that Crazy Poodle and the house clean
 I will be with you as soon as I can.

Our balcony Sunbirds!

Something beautiful is happening at our place, I can hear the little birds sing! This is no mean feat as we live way up high, above the 30th floor. I love my new apartment it is just perfect, except that I missed the birds. Then guess what? Two of the cutest little Thai Sunbirds decided to join us and build a nest. Talk about the happiest bird watch ever! Our sunbird on our orchids Let's go back a bit and remind you about my Bangkok life. I've arrived in this great city from Melbourne Australia. Where I have a garden that I love and although the birds are a little cautious about visiting us, on account of the Crazy Poodle, we enjoyed all manner of what I think of as exotic birds - bright parrots, laughing kookaburras etc Rainbow lorikeets checking to see what the Crazy Poodle is up to! Our first Bangkok apartment at Embassy Place was chosen for it's amazing position overlooking one of the US Embassy compounds. The American Ambassador in Bangkok, has a ni...

Perfect Phuket - Hello from the other side

Hello from the beach! Spoiler alert if you are snowed in, pandemic bound or just plain jack of 2021 already, you might want to flick straight onto the next blog! On the other hand, if you are looking for some escapism and to tag along for the virtual ride, stick around! We came for Christmas and we haven't left yet,  so I've only got pictures of sunshine and palm trees and empty beaches waiting for tourists return. Bangkok is still a designated High controlled area.  Schools, shopping malls and gyms have reopened and homeworking for some companies remain in place or operating on a limited A-B team return to work. Pubs and Bars, gambling venues including cockfighting and soapy massage remain closed. Ha, let's see who is reading this closely and no I have no idea what a soapy massage is! Most of my friends are more concerned about the booze ban and pollution in Bangkok but here at the beach, life is calm, quiet and rosy! Phuket has removed it's 14-day Quarantine for those...
