End of Year Roundup 

Cheers for a better 2022 

A photo of Paseo Street in Fukushima City

Blue sign on right is where I once worked

Christmas illuminations were always so wonderful to see

A little joke in Japanese  ... 

I bought a salmon fillet and some tiger prawns

from The Fish Factory in Colmslie

How huge, how delicious ... 

The hottest daze of 2021 and my not-so-old

air con inverter shorts itself out. 

Nobody about to fix it until January.

Declan is here and driving the MG about

as a Learner Driver. 

Christmas Day

Pizza and Italian food at the Cannon Hill Tavern

Was casual and delicious ... maybe high calorie, though ?! 

From their Facebook Account photos ... 

the Listel Hotel, Lake Inawashiro.

Winter Wonderland which I greatly miss living here. 

Not even New Year's yet and Coles Supermarkets are selling Hot Cross Buns ? 

Like, really ?

My Cancerian Horoscope

courtesy of 

Oscar Cainer, Astrologist: 

When we look back on our disappointments and setbacks, there's always a redeeming factor. A silver lining in every cloud that ends up bringing something to our lives. 'If I hadn't missed that train, I would never have met X'. That kind of thing. Although you've been dealing with a challenge, this week brings signs of a more positive outcome than you dare imagine. Following the Venus / Mars link, and with lucky Jupiter moving into a new celestial home, you have the energy and the insight to put the past behind. Here come reasons to be hopeful.

Been having an issue with my big toe, right foot ... what a mess. 

Dr. Miller @ Greenslopes Hospital

( orthopaedic surgeon, foot specialist )

was excellent. 

Six more months or so and then back to as it was - fingers crossed.

Today is the first day of Summer in Australia. 

The East Coast is flooding now. 

Impossible to regulate when, where and how much rain will fall.
