Strong Enough?
I’ve spent the better part of this afternoon listening to music and “chatting” with some facebook friends. I was supposed to be doing other stuff, but daughters’ homework load and hubbys’ old man soccer commitments sort of put paid to anything more energetic this afternoon…which had started off to be a tad on the frustrating…

Use it or lose it…
Before I finished at the partition job, I had a couple of very clear goals for the few months ahead. Aside from trying not to cry on the last day (and not because I in any way was going to miss it, more that I didn’t want to say goodbye to a couple of individuals),…

Aimer jusqu’a l’impossible
Can you smell that whiff of saccharine? Yep, today is Valentines Day, that day when lovers everywhere pay homage to the patron saint of greeting card manufacturers, chocolatiers, florists and restaurants everywhere who think it is ok to pay triple the price tonight for a meal that last night came with actual service. What’s that…

In the thick of it…
I’ll update you all with the happenings of the last couple of days shortly, ie when I can get my head in the right space. For now, though, the Moon has moved into Virgo, and I completely missed Leo. Oooops. Leo, as we know, does not like to be overlooked. And I mean that in…

Total Eclipse…and all that…
As I write this, I have half an eye on a piece of pork belly that I am attempting to blister the crackling on before pouring milk into the pan to cook it slowly. Scented with sage, the milk will tenderise the meat so it should melt off the fork. I’m serving it with thyme…

would you could you on a rock?
Over the weekend I thought a lot about messages. Hubby and I had left the mansion and dependents in the capable hands of the palace guards and choofed off up the coast to Port Macquarie. With the Moon in Gemini, it was a perfect couple of days for catching up- something that has been difficult…

When All is Said and Done
Mothers are supposed to throw little pearls of wisdom to their kids. I happen to think I am giving my daughter the best possible start to life with gems like: No matter how late, tired or drunk you are- take your make-up off before you go to bed or Italian waiters are born not made-…

Daily Planets 12 October: The Devil on Your Shoulder
One sure fire way of dealing with Pluto transits (especially the “easy” ones…yes, there is such a thing…but the term still deserves the inverted commas) is to prompt a Pluto type event. (Supervised) fasts and detoxes are popular, so is wholesale change of the knock down/re-build type. All year Pluto has been playing games with…

Sore feet, personal triumphs and what happens when you don’t buy Italian.
I have really sore feet, in fact my feet are chock full of blisters (too much information?) and it isn’t because I had a moment of personal triumph on Sunday when I crossed the finish line of the Bridge Run. Actually, there were a few moments of triumph attached to that one: I actually started…

Dim Sum, things organised neatly & the Pisces Full Moon
We have talked about Virgos issues with house work on this blog a number of times recently. I have also made mention that Scorpio, and in particular the Scorpio Moon, is generally more concerned with the extreme nature of everything in its place. A few years ago I had a Scorpio cleaner who insisted on…
