Venus Opposed to Saturn and Square Neptune

We sailed through this one, no problems.

Invited to lunch by a neighbor, we were picked up by him at noon, went off to Toad, had lunch and were brought back to make yet another shopping list. 

S has decided she's making dumplings and Spam musubi and I'm making hummus. Cheese straws would be nice but with the tiny new oven would take about two days to make enough so they're out. I might do gingerbread and shortbread but attempts so far with the wrong size pans haven't been what you'd call successful. 

Mr. S is slowly becoming used to S and dares to come into the house when she's visible. Waving a Churu helps. It's finally getting cold and he's slept with me for several nights now. All good except he has an inner clock that wakes him at five as he wants to go out which means he wakes me and by the time S wakes up I've been awake for four or five hours. 

Never mind, all good. Tomorrow might be the day The Thing comes out of the car.
