My Cancerian Horoscope for the upcoming week

courtesy of 

Oscar Cainer: 




Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope: You're about to step out of the shadows and into the sunshine. And, let's face it, after recent events, you more than deserve to feel the warmth and light you've missed for so long. Of course, when you leave darkness you open yourself up to scrutiny. Think of an actor exiting the wings for the centre-stage spotlight. Suddenly it's all eyes on you. But your audience is appreciative. It's made up of people who wish you well. When you stride out this week, you'll bask not only in sunshine, but in the love of people who are happy to see you back. 






My favourite tree in Fukushima City as I think about my dear, elderly friend, 

Noriko H. who is seriously ill. I pray for her recovery, albeit unlikely. 

We shared many wonderful conversations together ... I wish for that to continue.

 Super-wet Saturday

14th May, 2022

Flooding, rain rain 'n more rain ... 


Need some positive vibes for this weekend after the inclement weather

casting a downer on all of Queensland. 



Cancer the Crab

Prediction for the coming week, courtesy of Oscar Cainer: 


Should you stay or go ?

 Accept or object ? 

Believe of mistrust ? 

Go wild or play safe ? 

Actually no matter what you decide, there will be consequences and legacies. You can sit and think about the 'best' thing to do forever. But should you ? Are there time when it's better to take action, and deal with the repercussions when they occur ? There's no doubt that you have a difficult decision to make. But, the Super Lunar Eclipse is set to help. The choice will be made for you by various factors outside your control. You're about to feel better. 





Thinking in opposites is exactly how I think, plus Oscar's prediction seems pertinent in my current situation. Let's hope that the Starz align for this prophecy to come true for moi.

A trip into Brisbane City to get out of the house
for a bit. Fine enough weather. 
Not many folks in Brisbane City, not at all. 

Lunch at a Vietnamese place in the Arcade off
of Adelaide Street.  Was first time there, really good. 
 










  Late, coffee at South Bank ( South Brisbane ).

Big rain event over Queensland today and for the next few days, too. 

Early lunch at the Colmslie Hotel. 

Always a good experience.

 Sunday

01st May, 2022

A drab, overcast, chilly, Autumnal day to kick off May. 


Trip to the nursery to buy a plant

then onto Hemmant Cemetery

to plant it there. 










17 years ago to the day Sandie came to visit me in Koriyama City

as it was Golden Week in Japan. 

A staunch Catholic in an Anglican Church !  LOL 

It was a great morning ... she was made to feel very welcome

even though she couldn't speak a word of Japanese. 

















Sunday ... Church day.
