Addendum

I just want to add a little bit to the news about Mr. Mercury. He starts his shadow April 30 and is in his home sign of Gemini for a while before he shifts to Taurus. This is the time to add re to things; as in re-evaluate, re-align, re-do, re-vision. Just be clear in your mind before you act or it could well re-bound on you. Be very clear about your intentions and keep travelling to a minimum.
Good luck, may the force be with you.

The Winged One is Back

Yes that's right! Our friend Mercury goes into retrograde April 30 and clears his shadow June 15. As usual be cautious when travelling, which for most of us, is on the road. This retrograde has a bit of a twist as Scorpio is also in the mix. If something feels wrong one must listen to their intuition and use it as a guide. This is especially important for the next six weeks. Do what your intuition tells you and you'll be o.k. I will get more information on this and if there is anything more re the retrograde I will let you know. I find them (Mercury retrogrades) trying, as they seem to target my computer. Right now my mouse is a bit poorly. By May 1st it'll have clicked its last click. I would put money on it! Ciao for niao!

Abba Toyay to Me!

Another birthday has been and gone. That makes 62 years on the planet. One gets weary just thinking about it and if the scio is right I get 35 more to enjoy. The mind boggles!
We went to see the movie on the Imax,"The Journey of Ibn Battuta" which was wonderful. I love movies. Rather I love going to the movies. Watching them on the tv is all right but nothing beats the big screen and the Imax is BIG!
I also got a membership to the AGO and am off to see the Holman Hunt exhibit next week. So exciting! The Grange{ the haunt of my days at OCA} has been turned into the members lounge so I can go on a trip down memory lane while I enjoy a cup of tea.
We had a lovely Easter/birthday bunfight as well with all the nippers in attendance. That was fun.
There was a great lunch at Allen's and a very tasty sushi dinner. I have a freezer full of yummy home made Chinese dumplings. I got a beautiful bed jacket/hoodie made by Mennonites and a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. Friends have dropped in with little gifts and best wishes. It has been a super time. I love spring; I love Easter; April is the best month to be born!
Any Virgo who doesn't agree feel free to leave a comment!

A Cold in the Node

Yes I have one. A cold in the node, more a total body cold! We have had the painters in for a week so the house looks fab but we are looking a little seedy. The better half came down with it last week and I thought I would be spared but no. Here I am in full fig with sneezes you can hear for miles never mind the whiplash they produce. Feeling very sorry for myself and tomorrow was to be a lovely day out with all the grands. One lot in the morning, one lot in the afternoon. Now I am stuck here with a fist full of hankies and a mouth full of cotton wool. Well that's what everything tastes like. Oh moan, who's a poor wee me! Ain't self pity disgusting? If I had more energy I would be thoroughly put off but I'm not, so the low moaning will continue. As well as the sneezing etc. I thought writing this would be therapeutic but it's not. Dwelling seems to make things worse so I will away to my bed and with any luck sneeze myself well.
