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. 

Some photos from FUKURUM on Facebook

showing photos of Fukushima City today.

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 !

End of March,

End of the first 1/4 of the year, 

Two days after Full Moon.

Tonight is a Full Moon

Cancer the Crab

My Starz courtesy of  Oscar Cainer: 

It's time to cut to the chase. Since it's become clear that by asking freely open questions you're only receiving confusingly imprecise answers, it's time to ask yourself what you want to know, and how you're going to get to the bottom of a conundrum. We tend to think that by excluding options we'll be able to hasten progress - and you're hoping for someone's help in this process. Following the Full Moon, if you scratch below the surface of this issue, you'll find an answer where you least expect.

The Olympic Torch is being lit

in Iwaki and then coming through

Fukushima Prefecture. 

 Unfortunately, with COVID-19 there are many crowd restrictions, etc. 

Thus said, it's fantastic news for Fukushima !

This morning I had a video call with the charming ladies

from Pastel. 

This photo was taken on 02nd November, 2017. 

As you see the photo: 

Back Row:

                              YUKO san in the striped top

                              YOSHIE san in the white coat, big smile

Front Row:

                           YUMIKO san in the centre, red flower

It was just like old times chatting with them ... feeling nostalgic.
