October Wrap

 Sunday

31st October, 2021

....... 

The end of the tenth month of 2021 is here. 

I stopped drinking alcohol for 59 days 

as a salute to Leanne who died this month. 

She was only 59 years old. 

Today is also Halloween, although I don't usually celebrate this America custom.

I know who really enjoyed this red wine !  LOL 

Cheers, Sandie ... 

                          
Dreaming about Autumn in Fukushima ... not sure when the

travel restrictions will ease in Queensland, although the other

States in Australia are lifting their border restrictions. 

   This reminds me of Cacao-loves-sweets !  LOL 

                         Noriko S. has just started to learn French - she needs to know about French wine.

Leanne's mega-funeral service

was held at 

Victory Church

Bridgeman Downs. 

Amazing Service -  it went for 90 minutes plus. 

A green coffin ... seriously cool, Leanne !  LOL 

Some flowers to remember her ....

We shared a lamington in B6 with the Buck Knife from San Francisco ! 

Sharpened like never-before ... just sliced through the sponge.

Sam's shares his birthday with Emi san ... obviously a few years older.

Today's Cancerian Horoscope

courtesy of 

Oscar Cainer: 

Although they say that we can't rewrite history, that's not completely true. We might not be able to rewrite it, but we can recall things that we've forgotten. And when we add more information to our memories, we can start to modify our recollection and draw different conclusions about its significance. Under the powerful Dark of the Moon, you can readjust a part of your past in a way that positively transform your future. No matter how long ago an event took place, you can alter the consequences that it had on your life.

Vale to my dear long-time friend: 

L E A N N E 

who passed away

from

Breast Cancer

on 

Saturday, 09th October, 2021

Age: just 59 years old ... 

............ 

Some daisy flowers, a small candle ...  in her memory. 

When it was discovered that she had Stage 4 Cancer

I bought her favourite flower, CROTON, to grow strong.

Some random photos - not my photos.

With her overseas travelling companion, Barry.

Long ago, with her son, Brandt.

I bought a bottle of Tassie wine to toast her departure. 

The brand name is appropriate !

Bye ...
