  • Something about a big idea…

    Tuesday 10 December Moon in Pisces Yesterday morning I was disappointed. Miss 15 and I went for a walk in the rain. We walked up Bourke Street to Hardware Lane. We walked down Hardware Lane and across Lonsdale Street to Hardware Rd. We were heading for our favourite Melbourne breakfast haunt- Hardware Societe. The whole…

  • A different point of view…

    This post is part of my semi regular semi series on aspect patterns…it comes with a technical post warning for non astro bods.
