Happy 25th Birthday, Declan ! 

Having recovered to some extent from his accident

he flew to Brisbane City for his birthday week. 

We went to an Italian Restaurant 

Was really good and we celebrated accordingly.

My  very pertinent Cancerian Horoscope courtesy

of

Oscar Cainer: 

Daily Cancer Horoscope Friday, 16 April 2021 How do conflicts start? Why do relationships end? Why isn't our world a peace-filled planet? Like all complex questions, there are simple answers. These kinds of problems are almost always caused by intolerance. It's toxic stuff. In fact, it's one of the main things we should refuse to tolerate. This weekend, you have no choice but to be patient. Whether it's with yourself, or with someone who you feel justifiably resentful towards, if you can find a way to forgive, you'll free yourself from a long-held sense of frustration.

Good Friday

Today is Good Friday for Christians. 

Unfortunately, due to COVID 19 restrictions

it is not possible to personally attend Church today.

On a more superficial note, Oscar Cainer has written my Cancerian Star Prediction: 

Once you've made your mind up, there's no stopping you! Has a declaration like this ever been made about you ? Was it intended as praise or criticism ? We live in a society that prizes willpower and derides uncertainty.  Yet isn't it better to be in a state of understandable indecision over a tricky issue, than to rush, full steam ahead, into what later proves to have been the wrong direction! Better, this weekend, to hesitate while you deliberate, than win a battle that it might be better to lose. 

A most apt narrative indeed, Mr. Cainer.  I shall heed this advice  and see where the prevailing winds end up taking me.

Feeling more than a little nostalgic today as I see these photos ...

COVID 19 Lockdown in Brisbane City

was lifted today, just in time for the Easter vacation.

The weather has been intermittent rain, which is great for my garden. 

I will endeavour to be a good person this month !
