Yesterday the marble wash stand went. 

Time to lose the things I don't need.

I gave it to a co-worker who is thrilled to receive it. 


This is Billy, the original owner. 


Not-so-good news from JPN about my friend. 

Let's pray that she can recover.

My Cancercerian horoscope for the upcoming week,

Your Weekly Horoscope: The truth isn't always easy to hear or recognise. When you're worried about a situation, sometimes, it's easier to stick our head in the sand and ignore what's going on. If we keep acting as if everything's OK, maybe, miraculously, it will work out OK: and we might never get to the moment where we have to confront an uncomfortable reality. The problem with this attitude is that we go through life without being able to see what's actually going on. This week, open your eyes. Be brave. If you face a fear, a few will vanish. 


I will do my best  ! 



Sage advice indeed from the futurist, Alvin Toffler. 

He is the author of   "Future Shock "  -  an amazing book which I read in 1973. 



Take my horoscope as written above and combine it with Mr. Toffler's advice and it's especially applicable to my own situation, methinks.

On this Saturday Night, in 1979, I attended the Ferny Grove Tavern.

Almost the end of the month

and on Tuesday begins October. 


Some new and interesting words for me to try and remember. 



How charming ! ... by F. Scott Fitzgerald. 



Dec's putting on the Ritz ! 

Enjoying London Life before the big move occurs on the weekend. 







This is a staircase which I have climbed up, down, up, down
countless times in the second half of the 1970s.

My Cancerian horoscope

Oscar Cainer: 

So, you’re under pressure. You’ve got many issues to deal with. How are you going to allocate enough time to deal with them all? That’s the inevitable effect of having Mars in your sign. But if you take today moment by moment, and allow events to unfold, you’ll notice that some of those tasks aren’t as urgent as they seem. Good. Because your ruler is forming a Super Lunar Eclipse. And you need to find the time to benefit from the outpouring of cosmic energy heading your way. A change of priorities could be life-changing.


How true this is ... well done, Mr. Cainer. 
I am certainly looking forward to enjoying the cosmic energy which is heading my way !
