So anyways, I’ve been in Mooloolaba on holidays. We start the drive home tomorrow.

If you want to know what I’ve been up to, check out my instagram feed…or the and anyways site. Spoiler alert, it pretty well involves sand, water, and eating.

When I’m away, I rarely pay attention to what’s happening in the sky. I’m very much in zen like whatever mode. As a result, the fact that Mercury is now retrograde passed me by until I received an email from an astro pal advising me that the book review I’d written for her had disappeared from my site- along with everything from the week of or around Dec 18. That was when something to do with sql scripts happened, so…your guess is as good as mine.

Now, regular readers know that I’m a tad whatever about Mercury retrograde. Generally speaking, if shit happens, it’s because I’ve either not acted on my own advice, rushed through without checking, or been, quite frankly, stupid. Which segues me a little clumsily into my advice- my Guide to Surviving Mercury Retrograde. You’ll find it on the menu bar…or here.

As for that book review that has disappeared- I’m hoping to find it in the back-up…otherwise I’ll re-write it.

Now, some shameless self publicity. I contributed- along with some other amazing astrologers whose pics are all in the back of the books- to a series of astro diaries for 2015. There is one diary for each sign, with a horoscope for each day. It was a huge undertaking with Yasmin Boland from Moonology editing and coordinating and wrangling us all.

If you’re interested, the linky thing is here.

Oh, and finally, it’s my Mum’s birthday today…just saying.

Back to normal transmission when I’m back in Sydney. Until then, some vision from my last walk along the (rainy) beach…
