My Last Blog In Australia for 2015

In less than two days I will be on a big white bird on my way to the land of the long white cloud...... so indeed this will be my last blog in Australia for 2015.

This represents my first Xmas ever out of the country. It is also a rare Xmas Full Moon. The Full Moon fell on Xmas Day only three times in the 20th century and three times in the 19th century, and this is the first of only five such events in the 21st century. I see it as significant that I will spend my first Xmas out of the country on the rare Xmas Full Moon. I didn't plan it this way, but as always the case for me, I always seem to be in tuned with the celestial cycles.

So been really busy preparing for this trip, there is so much to do, even little things like cancelling newspaper delivery for the duration of my trip - things one could easily forget about until too late!! Last weekend I did do a "dry run" to the airport, to find the best way to get there, how long it will take for me to get there, and to scope out the terminal in which I am due to depart from. It was so very high energy being there knowing that in just a few days I would be joining those queues at the checkin counters, getting my boarding pass, then a while later, going through the gate and onto the plane. Of course we have to get there three hours before departure. So after scoping out the place I went to one of the cafes for a chocolate muffin and juice. It still seemed so unreal that I will actually be flying out from there in just a few days.... well now just one more full day and two more nights.

Now I know it will take me about 30 minutes to get to the airport. I drive there myself, I already have a spot booked for long term secured parking, so all I need to do in theory is to just turn up and scan the code given to me, then go find a parking spot, then wait for the bus that runs every 15 minutes 24/7 from there to the terminals. So with my Virgo precision planning, I will leave about 5:15am, arrive by 5:45am, then park the car and get the bus, which hopefully will get me to the terminal by 6:15am exactly 3 hours before my scheduled departure. Join the queue to the checkin counters, then pass time at the cafe, play on my tablet, there are charging facilities at the cafe, it was one of the things that I scoped out. We Virgos like to be well prepared!!! Then finally wander on through the gate...... and onto the plane....... I don't think the reality of the situation will really hit me until I am actually on that plane!!!!

One could actually check in online up to 24 hours before the fact and print out the boarding pass. But then I realise I will be without my computer tomorrow as it will be shut down and packed up ready to be taken to my secure storage unit, along with the printers, routers, and indeed all electronic devices and other valuables. Afterall I will be away from home for 2 and a half weeks. Of course I will still have my phone and tablet so will keep in touch. But to take advantage of the online checkin you need to be able to print out the boarding pass, a wee bit difficult when the printers will be in secured storage. So I will have to checkin the old fashioned way LOL.

Among the many other things in this past week, I went to some crystals shops to find myself something to take with me for my trip, and was drawn to some crystals pendants, so I bought one of those, so will wear it during my trip and time in NZ.

So it seems like my single days are pretty well at an end...... Chrissy is a Capricorn, she doesn't take no for an answer, she gets what she wants ;)..... being hippies we don't go down the traditional route of engagement, marriage, etc..... but this goes way beyond the usual hippie "love-in" kind of thing..... its more like soul-kin or twin-flame..... so.... um...... yeah....... say no more!!!!!

I have roaming on my phone and tablet though will be used sparingly, it is so expensive even for New Zealand, nevertheless I will keep in touch..... the other complicating factor is most of my time will be spent in the country region where phone reception is not the most reliable, especially at the hippies festival where I'm told there is no reception at all, so be 5 days or so cut off from the rest of the world - but then that is probably the idea of this hippies festival, a retreat with no electronic communications. In any case there won't be any long blogs like this, but perhaps short updates with a pix or two..... well will see how it all pans out........

Oh yes anyone who wants to catch me during my nine hours in Sydney on my return leg on January 10, well I come in on Qantas flight QF 138 arriving at T1 at 8:40AM. I plan on using the 9 hours to explore Sydney. Being a Virgo I have details worked out, there is a place where one can store one's luggage for a fee, so will be able to store my carry-on there while I explore Sydney, and there's a train from the Airport into the city and beyond every 15 mins or so...... So will be able to get around on my own, but any company will be also welcomed ;) ;)

Now I can smugly look back to those bad old days........

Um... yes..... ;)

This one really hits home !!!!!!!!

Life in Perth.......

Ten More Days.......

How surreal..... while everyone else is counting down to Xmas, I am counting down to my New Zealand trip where after spending Xmas Eve between airports and those big white birds, I will have arrived in New Zealand by Xmas Day!! So Ten days to Xmas, ten days until I land in New Zealand into the arms of my Earth Goddess flame Chrissy.

This has been a busy weekend, only the 2nd weekend before I leave these sunny shores. This time I hit the malls to get some extra clothes for the trip, especially the warmer variety such as jeans\pants and shoes. Being a Virgo I like to be well prepared, and while I happily get by on scant clothing at home, I like to better prepared with extra clothes and other items while a long way from home.

Among the many other tasks that needed to be completed for overseas trips, I took out travel insurance. Of course as usual there is always a catch, and in this instance, the insurance does not cover pre-existing medical conditions. So if I find myself in a New Zealand hospital due to any heart-related events then I will be basically left to fend for myself. Though I do understand there is this reciprocal medical agreement between Australia and New Zealand where Aussies in New Zealand (even love-struck ones! LOL!) has access to public hospitals in NZ, and vice versa. Not quite sure what it means in terms of costs, I can't seem to find much information on that, but I guess it is probably better off economically than for example having to be treated in a hospital in America or elsewhere. Uh well I still am taking the travel insurance, it does cover a lot of other things such as lost luggage and costs associated with flight delays, me being a Virgo like to be prepared for all possible situations.

It turns out that my stay in New Zealand coincides with my Earth Goddess's birthday, which I guess is not surprising considering she is a Capricorn ;) And me being a fussy Virgo wants only the best for her, so here I was pounding the malls over the weekend searching for that perfect gift for her only to come up empty!!! So less than ten days to find such a gift for her as well as an equally perfect Xmas gift. Trust me to be a Virgo !!!!!

Then last night was dinner at the Dawes-Smith household, here as I broke the news to one family member\couple at a time about my trip to New Zealand, sending them into shock, and having to pick them up off the ground - well it wasn't quite that dramatic but came pretty close to it. Afterall they all know I lead such a depressingly dull mundane life and hardly even go down the street for a vacation let alone overseas!! Then they ask the inevitable question - WHY am I going to New Zealand. And of course when I mention the reason, they all give a giant *sigh* as they remember my American affair with Sally, marrying her in America and bringing her back to Australia as my wife. I suppose its a valid concern, history does sometimes repeat itself, but really I don't think it is going to turn out that way. For starters there are important differences between Chrissy and Sally, one being that Chrissy has a job in New Zealand..... so very unlikely for this to happen!!!!!

Anyway a busy week coming up. Want to get a few more items of clothing. I gotten most what I wanted, but this anxious Virgo likes to be as well prepared as possible!! Also need to determine if I need an adapter to enable me to use my phone charger and electric shaver charger in New Zealand. And scope out online on Google about Sydney Airport and Christchurch Airport so I won't get lost - Virgo anxiety again. Perth airport I am just going to take a drive out there this weekend, see how long it takes for me to get there, exactly where my long-term parking lot is located as I have booked long-term parking for the trip, and visit the terminal which I am departing from to scope out the place, see where everything is, and etc so I won't get lost on the day of departure. Trust me to be a Virgo !!!!!

Those ten days will probably go by quickly due to the fact I still have so much to do in preparing for the trip, and not much time to do it in......

 It's cartoons like this that makes me feel incredibly old !!!!!

The perils of trusting GPS systems.....

More like my sleep patterns LOL

There's always hope... LOL

All seems like a dream......

Here I am on this first night of Chanukah, the Jewish festival of lights, in commemoration of the rededication of the Temple. The holiday commemorates the miracle of the oil, the one day supply of oil kept the lights burning for eight days while they were preparing a new batch of oil - a process that takes eight days.

My own miracle...... it all seems like a dream..... I pinch myself constantly, is this real or a dream??? My upcoming trip to New Zealand. It happened all so quickly!! It was just this time last week that Chrissy invited me over, and this very cautious careful Virgo who thinks through all things and does not make rash decisions took only five minutes to give the affirmative reply, and the only reason why it took as long as five minutes is cos it was how long it took for me to check air ticket prices and figure if it was within my limited means!!!!!

So much has happened over the week already. The first three days an excruciating wait until my yearly holiday bonus pay was deposited into my bank account, and within two hours, at 2am Thursday, I went online to book my flights. That in itself was a momentous occasion. Now the flights were booked and paid for, and the confirmation came a few hours later, early in the morning. It was such a relief and burst of high energy!!!! I really am now on my way to New Zealand, only my 2nd ever overseas trip.

And now the preparations given that I depart in less than three weeks away, on December 24. Today I drove down to my storage unit to retrieve my suitcase which was last used back in 1998 - my last overseas trip!!!! Apart from a bit of dust and a bit of a clean, the suitcase is all good and about ready to start packing, probably in about a week or so. I start packing about two weeks before departure so to make sure I have everything. If I forget something it's not like I could just turn around and go back home to grab it!!!! Once I am on my way to the airport that is it - tough noodles if I forgotten anything!!!!

Then other things...... my passport is still current, and one doesn't need a visa if an Aussie travelling to New Zealand. Then there's other things. My heart meds. I went to visit my GP and she did a note for me for my meds so that I could take them on board the plane with me. I am on five different meds.

And the travel insurance which I am definitely taking given my chronic heart condition. Well in case I need medical attention in New Zealand, its not covered by Medicare! LOL! Plus it is just good to have this cover if other things happens such as lost luggage or some other mishap. Travel insurance is a very good idea for anxious Virgos who likes to be prepared for all things, and it is not expensive, it is really most reasonably priced.

And then other things like getting to and from the airport. This fiercely independent Virgo have booked a spot in secure long term parking, its cheaper when booking online, so allowing from a few hours before departure to a few hours after I arrive back. This means I could drive myself to the airport, park my car in a secure spot, and be the master of my own destiny!!

Other things to figure out, such as phone roaming so I could still use my phone in NZ at least to update my FB status ;)

The only other thing of note..... Katie and the fledgling UFO\ET group in Perth. Katie is destined to be friend only cos I think Chrissy might be the one for me..... not going to pre-empt anything. I am a Virgo and we Virgos are no good at relationships. But Chrissy and I chat each night, we msg each other each day, and the are synchronicities and certain things happenings...... I wasn't actually looking for such a relationship, but as we all know, things happens anyway, even for Virgos!!!!!

Anyway..... the UFO\ET group...... the camp-out was cancelled due to our extremely unusual weather conditions, I think they call it "rain"!!!! So the group of us had dinner at a restaurant last night. I think I been to more restaurants in the past four weeks than I have been the previous year!!!!! Seem to be going out a lot now, something utterly unheard of in this city!!!! So the next camp-out is scheduled for the first weekend in January. Of course I will be in New Zealand then.

So I guess that is it for another time....... as I am still getting my head around at how dramatically my life has changed in just the last four weeks with the UFO\ET group, then infinitely more with the New Zealand trip, my 2nd ever overseas trip in my life!!!!!!!!!!

Some more random cartoons.....

After govt budget cutbacks....

Meanwhile at a restaurant in Perth......

Not a good time to come......

I have had days like this........

The Land of the Long White Cloud

OK let's get right to the point...... I've booked my flights and I am off to New Zealand for Xmas and the New Year. I fly out from the sunny and isolated shores of Perth on December 24, the first leg to Sydney, and after a couple of hours layover, the 2nd leg to New Zealand. Christchurch to be exact. And I fly back to sunny Perth on January 10.

So WHY am I going to New Zealand..... aside from the fact that it is an interesting country?

A lady......... *sigh*

Also a hippies camp-out over the new year which this lady invited me to.

Chrissy is her name...... less than a month ago I began getting messages from this lady, and Virgo me would politely reply to her but otherwise play hard to get. Well not that I do this on purpose, but I am a Virgo, and we Virgos by nature play hard to get. It is part of being a Virgo.

However she is a Capricorn with a Leo rising. A very potent combination. Such a woman does not take no for an answer. Once she is determined to get something she does not give up.

So this stubborn Virgo finally had enough..... uh ok then....... and so we first began to regularly contact each other by email, quickly followed by chatting using the chat app.

Then she asked me if I was taking vacation over Xmas and New Year...... and I said yes..... Then she asked me if I had any plans for my vacation.... and well living the kind of boring and lonely life that I have, I said.... nah..... no plans........

So then she invited me to come over to her place and to attend this hippies camp-out festival that she attends every year.

OMG this was TOO good an opportunity to pass up!!!! I ALWAYS wanted to attend a hippies event. I am a frustrated hippy. Very much the Uranus natal in my Sun sign!!! So first thing was to first check on air tickets and see if I could possibly afford it. So I went online to check for air tickets and was quite pleasantly surprised that it was within my reach, especially since I was due for the yearly holiday bonus that I get each year at the beginning of December, well my first pay in December.

So I said.... YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The festival in question is this......

http://convergence.net.nz/

CONVERGENCE

OK MY KIND OF EVENT!!!!!!!!!

My dream come true!!!!!!

So I said yes...... then the nerve wracking wait for my bonus to come in, expected for Thursday...... and as soon as my bonus came into my bank account, I went online to book my flights - at 2am in the morning!!!! Oh the wonders of online booking!!!!! Departing on the 24th, the first leg of the trip is to Sydney. Then a couple of hours layover in Sydney, then the final leg to Christchurch New Zealand. Of course with Perth being the most isolated city on Earth, it takes longer to fly to Sydney than it does from Sydney to NZ. Yes the east coast is closer to NZ than it is to Perth!!!! Shows how very isolated we are over here. But anyway, together with the five hour time difference between Perth and NZ, the trip will pretty well take all day, arriving just before midnight in Christchurch where Chrissy will be waiting for me.

Chrissy lives on a farm much like a hippy, does everything organic, and does art and craft...... she is just amazing.... and also a Pleiadean like me. Indeed at the festival last year she had contacts with Pleiadeans. There is just so much synchronicity happening here!!!!

So yes travel to New Zealand will take place on December 24, just three weeks away, and I will be there with the Kiwis until January 10. This of course my 2nd ever overseas trip in my life. We all know my first overseas trip to America in 1998, where I got married and brought home a wife...... Well that is NOT going to happen THIS time!!!! hehehehe!!!!! Just other equally life changing events may happen...................

So will do my blog as usual over the weekend........ but just need to share this now....... it seems so like a dream...... so surreal....... to be actually going to New Zealand...... how life can change so quickly!!!! Just a week ago I had no idea whatsoever that I would be going to New Zealand nor any other overseas country...... I resigned myself to the fact that I would never go overseas again........ But within this one week since last Sunday when Chrissy invited me over, and the normally cautious careful Virgo immediately accepted!!!!!!!!!!!

So last week I was in for yet another boring mundane Xmas and New Year with nothing happening...... this week I am about to embark on the most exciting adventure ever, spending both Xmas and New Year in New Zealand!!!!!!!!! I am more excited about this than I was about going to America, and I know how excited I was about going to America....... that was one very significant point in my life......... but this NZ trip will take it up to a whole new level..........

Meanwhile I am pinching myself even with my e-tickets and my flight plans in front of me...... pinching myself to see if this is just a dream and I am about to wake up............... this is beyond the most wildest dreams ever...........

Oh the Carols.... and I ain't talking about Xmas !!!!!

I shared previously..... or recently anyway..... the synchronicities of the Carolyns.... how the last three significant women who came into my life since my wife's death had very similar names, beginning with Carolyn from India, then Karen from York, then Katie from the UFO\ET group!!! Well last week another woman in this isolated little city got in contact with me from another spiritual online group, we exchanged messages over three days, then she asked to meet me!!!! So last Saturday we met for a chat in a Mt Lawley cafe. And you'll never believe what HER name is!!!!..... CAROL!!!!!! Again just friends, but she shares the same weird spiritual interests as me, even star seeds interests.

The meeting almost didn't happen!! I knew these planetary alignments would throw a spanner into the works, and it did big time - Chiron the "wounded healer" standing still in my Ascendant sign, and Saturn square with Neptune also in my Ascendant sign!!

I arrived about 5 mins early at the arranged venue as per my precise Virgo tendency. Arriving 5 minutes early means it is not TOO early but also not too late. I work out my timing down to a T. That is me the Virgo. So I went in, and one woman immediately caught my eye, and was thinking, I wonder if this is HER!!!? I felt inside me it was her, but in 3D reality I wasn't 100% sure. So I kinda walked up to her but not directly so, just sorta came close enough to her to catch her attention, but pretending to just casually walk by. She looked up at me then she turned away, indeed she seemed to utterly ignore me, so I thought.... uhhhh OK perhaps its not her afterall. However I couldn't shake the feeling that this IS her!!! And none of the other women at the venue came anywhere near to fitting my imagined profile of her.

I wanted to speak to her, asking her by name if this is her. But I didn't want to do that in case this was not her afterall, and she thought I was just some kind of weirdo trying to chat her up.

So I went outside and just waited there outside for several minutes. I figure if she is in there, she may walk out looking for me, and if she sees me standing there waiting for her, she'd figure it was indeed me. However I spent up to 15 minutes waiting outside. Then I saw her walk out of the venue, she took one look at me and then she wandered on back up the walkway assumedly towards her car.

OK this is seriously turning pear shaped very fast!!! Up to me to try salvage the situation. I still wasn't 100% certain that this IS the lady but I still couldn't shake the feeling. So I got on my phone and buzzed off a short email to her, saying I am here waiting for her. About a minute or so later, she came walking back along the walkway. Then I KNEW for certain that this IS HER!!!!!

Chironic lesson #1 - Always trust my instinct!!

This was now 20 minutes after the schedule start date. After we established contact, the first thing she said to me was "You don't look like your photos"!!!! I was kinda taken aback by that, very Chironic episode. But in truth none of my photos are recent, they are all from the days of my wife and even earlier. I very rarely take selfies. I really don't like my own appearance so I almost never take pixes of myself. This is part of the Chiron wounded healer manifestation.

Chironic lesson #2 - At least tolerate myself more and take more recent selfies of me !!!!

So NOT a very good start to our "date". However we pushed on and each had a drink in the cafe, she a coffee, me an orange juice. And we did talk about a lot of spiritual issues, including about star seeds which surprised me about her as she never mentioned about this before, and it is true enough that not all spiritual people are star seeds. But apparently she is, a galactic traveller like me who had been to several star systems.

So at least on a spiritual level we did have connections. However I just couldn't shake off the effects of the potentially bad start, and this affected the way I related to her.

However when it came time for her to go, she did insist that she was glad to have met me, indeed she enjoyed the time, and fully intends to continue on with our friendship.

Chironic lesson #3 - Focus on the positives !!!

So I guess time will tell how all this will pan out with her......

Now last Monday's meetup with Katie and two other guys from the UFO\ET group at a restaurant in Northbridge. That was a success. We are arranging our first camp-out to look for and make contact with UFOs and ETs. It will be at Ledge Point about a couple of hours north from Perth, off the beaten track, in fact you need a 4WD to get there. The perfect spot for meetings with ET's. This will happen next weekend, and staying overnight. It will be my first camp in over two decades. Back in my younger years I enjoyed camping so much. Then I married my wife who didn't like camping so was denied this pleasure, which I didn't mind at the time, a part of giving and taking in a relationship...... well now I have the chance to get back to the wonders of camping, combined with my wonders for UFOs and ETs..... should be a great night!!!!

As if that is not enough to shake up my mundane Virgo-like existence..... yet another thing happened today!!!! This time ANOTHER woman, well this one is not in Perth, and well she's not on the east coast, but just beyond the east coast..... in the land of the Kiwis!! But I won't hold that against her! LOL! The Kiwis are not a bad place, too cold but otherwise not a bad place.... we just like beating them in the Cricket, though not as much as beating the Poms in the Cricket..... but yes, something else happened today that is even more outlandish.... will reveal more next time...... No it is NOT getting married or anything like that! No! No! No!!! Don't give the universe any ideas!!!!!!!! It's something entirely different to that..... my poor Virgo mind is still trying to process it..... so it will have to wait until next blog...... hahaha.......... or maybe you can try to GUESS what it is.... ehehehe..... but you'll never guess it..... it be fun trying it though!!!! hahahaha!!!!!..... Uh yes her name is Chrissy.... must be Kiwi for Carolyn LOL!!!!!!

Here's some cartoons while you waiting....... hehehe........

My dating experiences LOL.....

More from my dating archives..... very much me! LOL!!.....

Meanwhile at a bank in Perth......

Budget cuts at a govt dept near you..... !!!!

Those Planetary Alignments

This has been a far more quiet weekend but still a relatively good weekend in spite of the planetary alignments in my chart.

Brief Astrology lesson ;).... We are all very familiar with our Sun signs. When people say, I'm a Virgo.... or, I'm an Aquarius, or whatever, this means these are our Sun signs, that is, the Sun was in the sign at the time of our birth. And as we all know, the Sun was in Virgo during my birth therefore am popularly known as a Virgo.... or NOT so popularly known as the case may be, as many knows that Virgos are a pain in the butt!!We over-analyse everything, are fussy about everything, indeed the classic Virgo saying being "Cleanliness is next to Godliness", and we also don't like change, hence another classic Virgo saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it", and we are no good at relationships!!!!

However there are more to Astrology than just our Sun signs. We also have a Moon sign, where the Moon was located during our birth. For me it is Libra. I am indeed a New Moon baby, being born during the New Moon period, which is probably why I usually have such a hard time during New Moons. So it was close to a New Moon, and the Moon was in Libra when I was born.

Last but not least, we also have an Ascendant sign or Rising sign, this basically being the sign that was rising over the horizon during our birth, much akin to the Sun rising. Many Astrologers says that our Ascendant sign has as much influence, indeed probably more influence on us than our Sun sign. So when reading the horoscope columns, we should really be looking at the particular reading under our Ascendant sign rather than our Sun sign. For me, my Ascendant is Pisces the sign of intuition and spirituality. And this does indeed explain why I am so spiritual even though I may also be the pragmatic analytical Virgo. My Pisces Ascendant is at least partly the reason behind my many spiritual experiences since my childhood.

My chart is rather unusual in many ways ;) I am an unusual person, as many who knows me would testify!! ;) One unusual aspect is that my Ascendant and Sun signs are opposite to each other. Pisces is six signs away from Virgo, we could say six months apart, therefore they are opposite to each other on the Zodiac chart. When we have signs (or planets, etc) opposite to each other on the chart, the saying "opposite attracts" comes into play! That is the energies of the two are combined. And this is why I have always been interest in Science, but also interested in Spiritual aspects. It was why when I was a Christian I was also interested in Creation Science, and since my childhood always been interested in Astronomy but also in Astrology, I started to read my horoscopes in Mother's magazines almost since I was able to read!!!! Indeed Metaphysics is a great interest of mine, it is basically a combination of Physics and Spirituality.

Indeed I could never understand why Science needed to be separate from Spirituality. Of course in truth, this separation of Science and Religion is a recent phenomenon, since the 1800's with Charles Darwin and others. Most of the famous scientists we read about who existed before the 1800's were also spiritual people. This includes Newton, Galileo, etc who discovered things about the universe, they were also deeply religious, and many were also Astrologers. Indeed since ancient times, Astronomers were generally also Astrologers. However Charles Darwin just happened to be an Agnostic, he didn't believe in any kind of spirituality, so when he formulated the theory of evolution, it was from the viewpoint that there was no God nor any other Spirit entities, that the universe is purely physical, and there are no spirits. This was the start of "rationalism", and so indeed scientists to this day were not allowed to exhibit any spiritual beliefs, or at least should keep their spiritual beliefs to themselves!! It is now seen as a thing of shame to entertain any kind of spiritual beliefs. Christianity was not the only victim of Darwinism and Rationalism, Astrology is also a victim.

Anyway..... back to my chart.... and now to the current planetary alignments, that is, the positions of the planets in the sky during this November 2015.

We currently have Jupiter in Virgo. Jupiter is associated with good times, prosperity and expanding our horizons. It is also the planet of royalty. Indeed referring to the story of the birth of Jesus and the "three wise men". Actually there were NOT "three: wise men, neither the Bible nor any other literature records the number as being "three", indeed, no numbers are recorded. It's only that they brought three gifts to the infant Jesus, so there could have been just one man or ten of them. Anyway, these wise men were in fact Astrologers, and by tracing back to near the accepted date of the birth of Jesus, it just happened this was when Jupiter and Venus appeared to come together in the sky, what Astrologers call a "conjunction". Jupiter being associated with royalty, and Venus with a Virgin Goddess, the Astrologers deduced that a "King" would be birthed by a Virgin, a story that in fact goes back through Pagan times to the Egyptian deities Isis, Osiris and Hathor - the Virgin Goddess Isis and her husband Osiris, giving birth of Hathor. Anyway, with this conjunct happening with Jupiter and Venus, the Astrologers figured that another King would be birthed by a Virgin, and in this instance it would be in Judea, hence their trek to Judea, and eventually to Bethlehem. And as they say, the rest is history!!

Anyway, Jupiter is now located in Virgo, and so it is said that when Jupiter enters one's sign, then things should get better. And indeed in many ways things are getting better. But there is a sting in the tail. My Ascendant sign. Planet Chiron (actually a large Asteroid or "minor planet") is currently located in Pisces. Chiron is said to be the "Wounded Healer", it hilights our wounds. And being in Pisces, it relates to our spiritual or emotional wounds. Jupiter is currently opposite to Chiron in the sky, indeed on opposite sides of planet Earth. So while Jupiter may bring better times ahead, it also brings memories of the emotional wounds. A case in point, one of Mother's favorite sayings "Good things must come to an end". And growing up in poverty in a public housing estate with an abusive "step-father", any "good times" that may fleetingly occur would always come to an end, often swiftly so!!!! And so that has been the story of my life, the good times would invariably come to an end. So I always think that when good times comes, I am always focused on when the END of it will come, and being a Virgo, I would always prepare for the end of it. So instead of enjoying the good times, I would be focused on preparing for the end of the good times. And with the Jupiter-Chiron opposition in my opposite signs, this issue is being hilighted!!!! Neptune, the planet of deep emotions and spirituality, is also in Pisces, so this normally analytical Virgo has to deal with the deep emotional\spiritual aspects of life!!!! As is, What am I doing on this planet? What is my purpose here? This is probably at least partly why this thing with Katie has happened.

Speaking of Katie...... our meeting, hopefully with a few more souls, are scheduled for tomorrow night. There the very metaphysical topics of UFOs and ETs. Oh yes there is very much a spiritual aspect to the UFO phenomenon and ETs. Indeed many of the Gods and Goddesses from ancient times were in fact ETs, and such visitations by UFOs and ETs in ancient times formed the basis of many religions today. ETs with their superior technologies were seen as Gods to the ancient peoples. Hence the saying, today's technology is yesterday's miracles. What seemed to be "miracles" in ancient times were in fact technological advances. Such simple things as instantly lighting up a room just by touching something on a wall would seem like magic to someone 300 years ago, indeed , one would have been accused of sorcery and burned at the stake if we did that 300 years ago!!!! So imagine these ETs in their flying ships way back in ancient times, they would have seemed like absolute Gods to the ancient civilisations, hence worshipped as such, and hence the beginning of religions. Nowadays we see ETs as the bringer of wisdom who will bring in a new age of enlightenment to this planet. Much akin to the 2nd coming of Jesus, who is in fact an ET. Well even Christians says that Jesus didn't belong to Earth, that he came from "Heaven", so that makes him an ET!!! In fact many believes there is a link between the 2nd coming of Jesus, and the coming of ETs to bring in a new age of Aquarius to this planet.

Now to the more mundane aspects of my life...... this week is my last week of the physio rehab sessions, sad in some ways cos I rather enjoy these sessions, but also a feeling that it is time to move on..... once again as per certain planetary alignments in my chart, which I won't go into now.... well OK maybe briefly.... it is to do with Uranus, the planet of change.  Uranus currently located in Aries is conjunct with my natal Jupiter, that is, the position of Jupiter during my birth, which was in Aries. Changes always occurs when Uranus moves to certain such aspects in our charts, and so changes are happening now, which includes the end of my 13 weeks of physio rehab sessions. One's natal chart, that is our birth chart, is very important. It is akin to our DNA, indeed it is our metaphysical DNA. So it's helpful to know of the positions of the planets in our natal charts, it is a part of who we are. You don't have to pay an astrologer to do a chart, just google "natal chart" and there are several online sites that automatically works out your natal chart and prints it out for free, all you need as your date of birth, the approximate time of birth (at least to the hour) and the place of birth - which town or city...... or just ask ME, giving me this information ;) ;)

Astrology is not my only forte. I also do Tarot readings - as those following my Instagram account knows, I post a pix on Instagram of my current draw at least once per week, or at other important energy points of the calendar. I have a couple of card decks, and well, I use them to figure out what may come up in the next day, or next week, etc, depending on what intention we give when dealing the cards. And they are very accurate, indeed they are always spot on for me!! On my wish list are more Tarot decks, there are many different decks around, and many professional Tarot readers have up to several hundreds of different decks, both Tarot and Oracle decks - there are differences between the two, I'll explain another time. But me I have currently just one Tarot deck and one Oracle deck, and I use them both together.


Unfortunately with my very short 5'6" height I didn't even get that!!!!!!!

;) ;) hehe

The dangers of texting while driving....... hehe.....

Oh yes ;)

Synchronicity !!!!!

Well it was a very interesting weekend I had, most unexpected, indeed a very Uranus kind of weekend. Uranus is the planet of rebellion and unexpected surprises, indeed the planet for change. So depending up where the planet resides in one's natal chart, it can shape one's destiny in unexpected ways. Uranus in my natal chart is in my Sun sign Virgo, conjunct with Pluto, and opposite to my Ascending sign Pisces which is the sign of spirituality. Thus my life has been shaped by unexpected and radical spiritual changes, paranormal events, UFO and ET experiences, and etc!!!! Why my paranormal experiences has been so outrageously weird at times!!!! Indeed my Star Seed awakening happened when Uranus traveled through my Ascendant sign in 2005\6 or around age 42, when I first saw ET's with my own eyes and had other weird UFO\ET experiences. That is why many people experience mid-life crisis around age 42, it is when Uranus is in opposition to its natal position, so that brings about the desire for change, or depending on one's chart config, the change happens whether you like it or not!!!!!

So this weekend I completed the Uranus module of my online astrological workshop which involved a shamanic journey to Uranus to talk to the Entity associated with Uranus. Thus it is no coincidence that very unexpected events of a spiritual nature happened to me this weekend just gone!!! And it involves to a large extent the concept of "synchronicity".

We often like to know whether we're on the right track or whether we're doing the right thing. So depending on religion or creed, we ask the Universe in our different ways - either we pray to God, or we ask our spirit guides, or our "higher self", or angels, departed loved ones, or any other of the large variety of spirit entities that are on occasions sent to help us in our 3D reality.

And one of the most common ways in which the Universe answers our queries is through "synchronicity", which can be defined as being two or more physically unrelated events that has one or more thing in common, where the probably of such a thing happening by pure chance is reasonably expected to be close to zero. This relates to a well known passage in the Bible which states "Out of the mouth of two or three witnesses a truth shall be established".

In my instance, the most unlikely of synchronicity have happened. The last three significant women in my life has been known by similar names. Each of the women are totally unrelated to the other two, indeed they are not known to each other, and they came from totally different places.

The first of the three is Caroline from India, a former penfriend who found me again on the internet. She has since pretty well fallen off the face of the Earth, I don't hear from her at all, but the synchronicity shows that the Universe is in control here.

The second woman is Karen from York, my star sister from the Pleiades. She is still very much in my life, being on my FaceBook profile, and still keeping in contact. There is a reason why she is in my life.

Now enter the third woman - Katie !!!!!!

So we had Caroline, Karen, and now Katie !!!!! A synchronicity with zero probably of it happening just by pure chance. It is more likely to win 1st division Lotto ten consecutive weeks than for this synchronicity to happen by chance alone. There is something happening!!!!

Before this time last week I had no idea whatsoever that Katie even existed!!!! Indeed it was this time last week that I had received an email from this Katie and I had no idea whatsoever who she was. At first I thought it was some scam email legacy of my unfortunate flirts with online dating sites a couple of years ago, I still occasionally get such scam emails. However it soon became obvious this was not a scam. In fact, it was more to do with the many groups I had joined online for Star Seeds, alternative spirituality, UFO's and ET's. I joined a few of the groups in the year after Sally's death but most were not very active and so I had forgotten about them. Katie has recently joined one such group which I had forgotten about!!!! More still, Katie is from PERTH!!!!! That is highly unusual. One of my complaints about these groups was that there were no members from Perth, they are either on the east coast or overseas, so had pretty well given up on the idea of ever meeting anyone in person from these groups!!!!

But not Katie..... Katie is from right here in this isolated little city of Perth. Indeed unbeknown to me, the group had grown quite a bit, and it turned out there were now FIVE members from Perth, and Katie contacted all five of them as she was wanting to organise a meetup with us all, and to form a group in Perth where we meet and summon UFO's. Apparently there has been a number of successful groups meetings in America and have successfully attracted UFOs and ETs, but of course none in tiny little isolated Perth.

Katie wanted to establish such a group in Perth...... so of course I said YES!!!!! I would LOVE the chance to meet with like minded souls in Perth. I can count on one hand with fingers to spare the number of spiritual people that I personally know in Perth, indeed (until now) Karen was the only such soul I knew and well technically she is not really in Perth, she is in York, but it's close enough to count - its driving distance to Perth!!!!!

So after I given my answer, I heard back from Katie two days later. It turned out only one other person had replied, so she asked about arranging a meeting between the three of us. Again I said YES!!!! YES!!!! YES!!!!! She had given her mobile number for texting, so in my reply I sent her my mobile number - a very un-Virgo-like thing to do!!!! We Virgos are normally very cautious and we normally don't do such outrageously rash things as giving mobile numbers to total and utter complete strangers!!!!! Yet I had given my mobile number to Katie!!!!! Especially since I have been so burnt to a crisp from my experiences with online dating sites!!! For all I know Katie could be a front for some ISIL terrorists to take us hostage and chop our heads off!!!!! - probably unlikely even in the face of recent events but Virgos always consider ALL possibilities even unlikely ones!!!!!

Anyway..... last Saturday after getting back from my bicycle ride, I gotten a text message from Katie asking if I wanted to be a part of a 3-way meeting at a cafe in Leederville at 5pm Sunday evening. So of course I said YES!!!!!!! And she text back saying she will now send an email to the 3rd person, he was not as foolish as I was, he didn't supply his mobile number, so Katie was confined to email for him..... and so the waiting game began...... I assumed the meeting would be cancelled or postponed if she didn't hear from the 3rd person.

Meanwhile early Sunday morning I received a text from my cousin whom I attend Friday night church with at times, inviting me for dinner at the Dawes-Smiths at exactly the same time as our proposed meeting with Katie!!! OK!!! It's either feast or famine with me. I usually complain I never get invited out to anywhere, and now I have TWO invites to TWO events at the same time!!!! I still hadn't heard from Katie so she still hadn't heard from the 3rd person, so I asked my cousin how soon she needed an answer from me. She replied anytime cos the other cousin from up north is now in town with his family and will be present on the occasion, so there be more than enough food to go around, so could easily accommodate an extra soul even if I turned up unannounced!!!! OK that made it slightly easier but me being a Virgo likes to do the right thing by people even when the offer is contrary, so I would still like to inform the Dawes-Smith as soon as possible if I was going to be there...... which meant I needed to hear from Katie soon!!!!

Meanwhile during the morning I went to do my grocery shopping, and as part of my expedition I went to the cafe place in Leederville to scope out the place, parking availability, etc, cos that is what anxious Virgos do!!! We Virgos hate surprises, we like to plan for things and be prepared. So where possible when it comes to unfamiliar places we Virgos like to scope it out before the event!!! And alas I found much to my angst that there is no longer such a creature as free parking on Sundays, we now must PAY for parking on all seven days of the week. It's probably been like that for the last ten years but I wasn't to know cos I usually don't get out invited anywhere!!!! So it meant I needed to go to the ATM to get cash out and to get change. These days one can just use a credit or debit card on these parking machines, but the last time I did this it wouldn't accept any of my FOUR credit\debit cards. Me and electronics does not get on. I am one of those persons whose energy\aura affects electronics, and it often affects electronics, even my phone and computer!!!! So like a Virgo I prepared for that by taking cash out and getting change for the parking machine.

Then just after lunch when anxious Virgo me was stressing about this predicament, I hear from Katie again. She hadn't heard from the 3rd guy so she said it will now be just the TWO of us!!!! OMG!!! She's either very naive, extremely foolish, or incredibly spiritually in tuned!!!! We are total and utter strangers, neither of us has any idea whatsoever what we look like, and for all she knew, I could be an escaped fugitive on the run accused of murder or an ISIL terrorist intending to kidnap her and chop her head off!!! OK we're at a public place but it hadn't stopped other crims before!!!! It was risky from my end, but even moreso from her end. So I was amazed she was willing to do this, and me went against my normally Virgo ways and I agreed to it!!!!!

Next she asked if she could bring forward the meeting by a couple of hours!!!!! OMG!!!! She had no inkling whatsoever of my predicament with the invite from the Dawes-Smith, yet she asked to bring forward our now one-on-one meeting by a couple of hours which would allow me to also go to the Dawes-Smith for dinner!!!!! Talk about the Universe being in control here!!!! That is yet another sign.

Soon I was most excitedly heading towards Leederville to meet Katie. I had no idea what she looked like, nor her age, nor indeed anything else about her. For all I know she could have been a brash teen or 20s woman, or an older wiser woman in her 70s ready to teach me a thing or two about spirituality. She could have been tall, short, fat, skinny, blonde, brunette, red, purple with pink spots.... and\or hybrid ET with unusual features. Oh yes hybrids DO exist and are human-looking enough to generally pass as humans but have enough unusual features for more experienced souls to pick up on them. Indeed I know personally at least one hybrid but that is another story altogether.

However with my 3rd eye or intuition I sensed her to be a middle aged blonde woman of reasonably normal body build and near same height as me....... and it turned out I was correct, indeed more correct than I thought!!!! I also knew we'd find each other instantly at the cafe even though neither of us knew what each other looked like......

Anyway five minutes before arrival she text me saying she has her dog with her!! Uhhhhh she's bringing her dog for protection! That is fair enough and understandable. Except that she said her dog was just a tiny little chihuahua!!!! I don't think that is going to be much protection for her!!!!! Indeed I don't think that was why she was bringing her dog along!!!!!!!!

So me the anxious Virgo arrived at the cafe early..... and a little while later I saw a blonde long haired woman with a chihuahua on a lead.... slender but also very womanly curvy, long slender legs, wearing tiny little briefs that barely qualified as "shorts", and a tiny little top that barely contained her very ample chest..... I thought.... OMG!!!!!! Is that HER!!!!!????? Is that Katie!!!!!!!????? Have I died and gone to Heaven!!!???? Or am I about to suffer my second heart failure albeit for entirely different reasons!!!???? Reminded me of an old saying from back in my school days "Sex kills, die happy"!!!! I'd be dying EXTREMELY happy especially if my last sight was this utterly PERFECT specimen of a woman!!!!!! OMG!!!!!! Even women in Heaven wouldn't be as perfect as she was in appearance!!!!!!

And indeed it was  Katie....... OK now..... deep breaths now...... I was actually supposed to be talking with this potential Miss Universe winner!!!!!!! She must have been a hybrid cos no woman on Earth could humanely be THAT perfect in appearance!!!!!! They photoshop such women in magazines!!!!! Yes she was real, as real as to the touch even if I almost fainted from her touch!!!! LOL!!!!!

Anyway..... after successfully catching my breath..... we soon got talking on very spiritual topics, sharing our weird paranormal experiences, and experiences with UFO's and ETs. Her experiences were almost as weird as mine!!!!! And she said she was so glad to have met me, cos she is in the same predicament as me, that is she has no one from family, friends or associates where she could share face to face her experiences without having those nice men in their nice white coats coming to pay a visit for taking away to the funny farm!!!!!! So she likes me!!!!.... even if only for this reason!!!! Hey!!! An old Virgo like me takes whatever he can get!!!!!!

Then we got onto the topic of setting up a group in Perth viewing for UFOs and attracting them. Oh yes you CAN attract UFOs. It happened with me regarding my ship. For me it usually happens when I feel depressed, and I know the ship is near when my GPS on my phone cuts out completely, though occasionally I see it. So anyway this is Katie's intention, to set up a group in Perth to view and attract UFO's. And utterly besotted me mesmerized by her cat-like eyes (she must be part Siriun hybrid) offered to help her out in this despite my lack of experience!!!!

What seemed like 10 seconds later but in reality was a couple of hours, she needed to go, it turned out she was invited out somewhere that evening too, hence why she brought forward our meeting, allowing me to fulfill my invitation to the Dawes-Smith for dinner. And I wouldn't call this a "date", but for want for a better word, a "date" is deemed successful when she plans for our next meeting...... and indeed she planned for our next meeting...... she was going to get to work on organising a meeting for UFO\ETs..... and depending on how things pans out, we could be meeting again in a few days, next week or soon....... though not soon enough for me... *sigh*........

Anyway that is the latest of the extremely strange story that is my life,,,,,, I don't think even Spielberg could come up with such an imaginative story like mine...... yet I swear to every God and Goddess that my stories are NOT fiction but are 110% true!!!!!!!.........

And yes dinner at the Dawes-Smiths was a success too ;)

Now some cartoons to help ground myself.........

I ask the same question!!!!!!

How I felt with Katie LOL !!!!!!

When Mother had me to clean my room...... ;)

The truth...... ;)

Mondays at work......

Summer begins.....

Now into November and this weekend marked the exact half way point between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice. This half way point can be said to be the astronomical start of summer here in the Southern Hemisphere, the start of winter in the north.

Now moving into another chaotic New Moon set to fall on Wednesday night. A week prior, last Wednesday, as I was riding home from work I noticed the back tire of my bike was low on air, indeed almost flat! Uh great! Just what I needed! A puncture!! I should not be getting punctures, my tires are the toughened thorn proof tires and inside the tubes are the fluid that blocks any punctures that may form. Such a combination had worked wonders, being without punctures for many years. But I suppose nothing is fool proof.

So after I gotten home I went to the mall to get a new puncture repair kit. These days they have the stick-on patches which eliminates the frustrating practice of applying glue which never seems to stick properly and the patch falls off. So though it costs a bit more, the stick-on patches makes it worth while.

Then I went to locate the puncture using an old trick I knew from my childhood years when I first acquired a bicycle and seemed to get more punctures than one can poke a stick at. That is, inflate the tube and place it in a tub of water, the location of the puncture becomes immediately apparent.

So by using this method.... Alas!!!.... not a puncture at all but a faulty valve! Indeed the fault was at the base of the valve!! Uhhh great!!! That will mean I will need to take the bicycle to the repair shop. It's likely I would be needing the tube replaced which involves removing the back wheel with the gear assembly and etc, and I remember back in my poverty years when I had to do all the repairs myself and spending seemingly endless hours trying to re-align the wheel and the gears when it comes to place the wheel back on. Nowadays I leave it to the experts. It will throw a spanner into my budgetary works but it sure beats spending half a day of my usually busy weekends doing it myself and probably not doing as good of a job.

I therefore booked my bicycle into the repair shop at the earliest possible time - Monday - tomorrow.

Meanwhile living without my bicycle which was a large part of my fitness regime in recovering from my heart event. First the trick of getting to my physio session on Thursday. I usually ride my bicycle to the bus interchange at the station, then take the bus the rest of the way to the hospital. So now just drive the car to the station. Complicating factor, parking at the station is NOT free, and I loathe to give any more money to the govt than I already give.

Solution, park further away, say, at a park. However I knew the council would be up to the trick, knowing that 99.9% of the population are equally loathe to pay the govt any more money so would park slightly further away from the station and walk a bit extra distance. So the council places parking restrictions designed to thwart most people who would catch the train\bus to work for 8 hours. Place a time limit on such parking that is less than 8 hours!! Typically about three hours.

However the time between taking the bus to the physio, the 1 hour physio session, and coming back is about two and a half hours.

Anyway to cut a long story short, I found a place to park at a local park which turned out to be 2 kms from the station, and there was a three hour parking limit but I decided I should make it within the time limit. It would take me 20 minutes to walk to the station to the bus, and so I worked out if I catch the usual bus back, I should arrive at the park in just under the three hour limit.

However as it ALWAYS happens when you don't need it to happen, after the physio session, the only time in all those weeks of attending the physio sessions my usual bus would arrive early and thus I miss it just happened on THAT day!!! This meant I had to wait 20 minutes for the next bus. This meant I would struggle to get back to my car within the three hour limit.

Anyway the later bus came, and when I got back to the station, I must have walked the quickest two kms on record!! And when I arrived back at the park I saw council vehicles around including one parked near my car. Dang!!! That is all I need, a bloody parking ticket!!! It turned out I arrived at the park within five minutes of the end of the three hours, and so I made it to my car literally with a minute to spare, with the ranger just waiting to pounce on me to write out the ticket!!! Talk about a very narrow escape!!!! What my heart does NOT need!!!!

Now my bicycle is in the shop, I took it in today to save the bother of trying to get it in first thing in the morning and rushing off to work only to be late for work. Hopefully all will go relatively smoothly and not costing too much...... it needed a service anyway......

Another Death In The Family....

Well it was my Puddy Cat anyway, I considered her to have been a part of my family.

It all happened on Halloween, that is, Saturday, which seemed most ironic since this is the time when its said the veil between the dead and the living are at its thinnest. However we're more used to the idea of the dead passing over to visit the living, not the other way around!!!! But it happened with my Puddy Cat, she passed from the living to the dead......

My Puddy Cat was very old in Earth years, approaching 20 years of age, which is more like 100 years in human terms or there abouts, whatever, it is very old for a puddy cat. However she was in good health as far as I could tell, eating well, and seemed generally in good health. Then on Saturday she stopped eating and she seemed to be spending more time sleeping. Then on the night of Halloween she simply went to sleep and didn't wake up. She was very obviously dead by early the next morning, it was like she decided her time on planet Earth was now at an end, and it was time to go back to Sirius.

Oh yes Puddy Cats are Siriun hybrids from the star system Sirius, the brightest star in the sky and can be seen from here during the summer months. That is why the Egyptians used to worship puddy cats. Back in ancient Egyptian times, Siriun ETs paid them some visits, helped build the pyramids, etc. Indeed many of the Egyptian gods and goddesses were in fact representations of Siriun ETs, and is why the Sirius star system was very important to the Egyptians, in fact the star was used to determine the start of the agricultural season when the Nile flooded. The flooding of the Nile coincided with the first sighting of Sirius for the year.

In particular there were the "cat people" from Sirius that figured much in the lives of the ancient Egyptians and other North African tribes. The "cat people" were basically akin to humans, standing upright like humans and etc, except that they had the heads of cats and the body was somewhat more like cats, including a tail. These "cat people" performed hybrid experiments with one or more of the wild animals, possibly lions or leopards or some other wild large cats, and they produced the domestic cat. Since these Siriuns were revered as gods by the Egyptians due to their superior technology and knowledge. Hence the domestic cat became to be worshipped as being regarded as the product of the gods. To mistreat or kill a cat would result in the death penalty.

Hence is why I say that puddy cats are Siriun hybrids - they are the result of hybrid experiments by the Siriun "cat people". The souls of cats are Siriun, they are from Sirius.

An interesting side note here, the Sirius star system contains three stars, however, one can only see a single star with the naked eye. One needs a large powerful telescope to discern the 2nd star known as "Sirius B", and only far more recently through computer analysis from space telescopes that a very faint 3rd star was detected, known as "Sirius C". However this is information that the ancient North African "Dogon" tribe already knew about over 5000 years ago, long before telescopes and computers were invented. Their ancient records accurately discerned the three stars and the nature of these stars!! So HOW did such an ancient "primitive" race knew about the three stars of Sirius without telescopes and computers??? There can be only one answer that makes senses as outrageously amazing as it is!!! The information was given by the ET visitors from Sirius!!!

Indeed the Egyptians also knew of the 3-star Sirius system, and this is where the concept of the "Holy Trinity" comes from. The Egyptians regarded Sirius as an important God, being the brightest star in the sky and one that marked the flooding of the Nile and start of the agricultural season. We can only see the one bright star, yet the one star is really three stars. Over the years since the time of the Egyptians, the Pagans evolved their beliefs to include the "Trinity" of the God, Goddess and the Son of the couple - such a concept being common among many forms of Paganism over the years in many different parts of the world. Then over 3000 years later, Christianity came along, and they adapted the Pagan form of the Trinity to include the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So yes the Sirius star system is where we get the idea of a "Trinity" of God - one God in Three Persons.

Meanwhile back at the ranch..... my own Siriun hybrid, my puddy cat whose soul is now returned to the Siriun star system. Yes, just like I am from Taygeta in the Pleiades, my puddy cat was from Sirius. Indeed a lot of the creatures on this planet are from other star systems. The dolphins are also from Sirius but also the Pleiades and some other star systems. Planet Earth has over its long lifetime been seeded by ETs from many star systems. Indeed the human race were once slaves to an ET race (the "reptilians" and "anunakis") having been created through hybrid process by these ETs, hence the Creation story in the Bible and the demand for unquestioning obedience to a God that we see in the Abrahamic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It is related to the ancient anunaki legends in the Middle East, and the Biblical representation of the Devil as reptile creatures ( eg the snake, and dragons)

OK back to my puddy cat.... so much information just wanting to be shared about our interactions with ETs!!!! I am a contactee, that means, I have had actual contacts with ETs, so this is why ETs are so close to my heart. A lot of my information that I often share comes from my contacts with ETs as well as my online sources, websites, FaceBook groups, etc, and having online friends and contacts who have had similar experiences. A lot of people on planet Earth have had contacts with ETs, it is actually a common occurrence, just that most of us tends to keep it to ourselves and don't say much about it until we come across groups of people online with similar experiences.

Anyway..... early on the Sunday morning I performed a Siriun burial ceremony for my puddy cat, placing her body in a grave in my back yard, communication with the Siriun masters via "light languages", committing her soul to the care of the Siriuns, and lighting a candle. I placed three rocks on her grave, this represents the three stars of the Siriun system.

So now adjusting to life without my Puddy Cat......

It be back to my cardiac physio session tomorrow...... so until next time..... if I hadn't weirded out anyone in the process!!!!!..... I shall be back with my next musings next week.

It Never Rains In Perth......

Referring to an old song.... "it never rains in Southern California".... I often think of Perth, it never rains in Perth either...... except five minutes after I spend half the night watering the garden!!!! Here we're on a roster system for watering our gardens, we are allowed only two days each week to water the garden, and on those two days we can water only either early morning or at night. The two days are determined by house\lot number hence a roster, and for me it is Tuesday and Saturday. So here tonight I was spending half the night watering the garden. The weather forecast did say 30% chance of rain later at night, which usually means it won't rain at all, it is just more like cover their arses in giving the forecast!! So I went ahead spending half the night outside watering the garden, shifting sprinklers, etc assuming as per usual it won't rain. Then I finally finished, and went back inside..... and five minutes later I hear the very rare sound of water droplets on the roof...... RAIN!!!!!! Arrrrgh!!!!! So I wasted half the night!!! But if I didn't water the garden tonight I would have to wait four days before I could water again, we're not allowed by law to water outside our roster. Such is life in this drought stricken city of Perth.........

Anyway my favorite holiday is coming up...... Halloween!!!! I just soooooo LOVE Halloween!!! It's the only holiday that I decorate my house for. I never decorate for Xmas or any other holiday. The other great benefit for Halloween is it doesn't bring bad memories. Halloween was not celebrated in Australia during my childhood, it became popular only in more recent times, so it has no bad memories associated with it. Xmas and the other holidays has bad memories from my childhood but not Halloween. Its just that due to being such a dark soul that I am with paranormal experiences, Halloween just so fascinates me. I do remember as a child I'd read about Halloween in the books I read about America and I would wish that it was celebrated in Australia. I always had been fascinated by the paranormal, hence my interest in Halloween. And nowadays we always have the trick and treaters coming to my door. I place some decorations out the front, and a bowl of candy to hand out to the trick and treaters, the only time we interact with the neighborhood kids! ;)

Halloween is indeed one of the Christianised adaptation of one of the eight Pagan holidays of the year. The Pagan holiday in question is "Samhain" which is celebrated on November 1st in the Northern Hemisphere (in the Southern Hemisphere it is "Beltane"). It is given as the start of winter on the Pagan calendar, and according to legend it is when the veil between the physical world and the spirit world is at its most thin, hence it is the time when we connect with the spirits of our ancestors, relatives who passed away, and other spirits. And so the night prior to Samhain, October 31, is said to be when the spirits from the other sides appears and walks this planet. Not all of those spirits has our best interests at heart, so in ancient times the Pagans would wear masks and disguised themselves so to protect their identities from these spirits. Sometimes these spirits would come knocking on one's doors, so they would have gifts prepared to appease these spirits, and those who didn't have gifts risks being cursed by the spirits - hence the tradition of "trick" or "treat", and people dressing up in masks and costumes.

The Christianised version of Samhain is "All Saints Day". As we all know, Christians seems to have a knack of adapting Pagan holidays for their own holidays hence Christmas (Yule) and Easter (Ostara), etc. Samhain is the day when Pagans make contact with deceased loved ones and ancestors, and so All Saints Day is when Christians (Catholics) makes contacts with the Saints, that is, praying to the Saints. It was alternatively known as "All Hallows Day", and so the night before became "All Hallows Eve" - hence,  "Halloween".

Here in the Southern Hemisphere the correct name of the holiday is Beltane, given as the start of summer. We Pagans in the Southern Hemisphere (such as Australia) keep our holidays at opposite times of the year due to the opposite seasons. While Samhain marks the start of the darkness of winter, Beltane marks the end of the darkness, so our celebrations are different. However it can still be said that the spirits from the other side still does pay us a visit albeit for slightly different reasons ;)

In my instance I see "movements" all the time even with the lights on !!!! ;)

Meanwhile back at work.....

How the govt decides which positions will be made redundant in the Public Sector......

Private Enterprise and the Public Service after govt budget cuts......

All Good Things Comes to an end eventually

And in the case of vacation time, the end comes very quickly!! It seems only yesterday when I began my vacation, and now seemingly in a blink of an eye I am back at work. Back to the daily routines from the moment I wake up until I go to bed again, and the weekend routines which mostly revolves around preparing for the next week of work. So much to do and so little time to do it in.

I am on the physio program for another six weeks, this helps to break up the work routines a bit, being at the sessions on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. I do rather enjoy these sessions, and being able to add to the weights on the machines every few sessions.

Now my current fitness and recovery regime being back to work. On the non-physio days, three days per week, a bicycle ride to work about 12 kms, and back home again after work. Then on the physio days, Tuesday and Thursdays, a bicycle ride to the bus interchange at the railway station, about 6 kms, then take bus the rest of the way to the hospital for the 1-hour physio session, then the return journey by bus, followed by the bicycle ride back home. Then I just drive into work for the afternoon. And during the weekend I usually ride between 50 and 60 kms on the bicycle.

And so that is about it..... nothing much else happening.... just trying to get used to being back at work now.......
