This Blog really is more like the confessions of a gemstone addict, 'cos I just can't stop buying :-) You may remember I got an unexpected early shipment from Paul back in July, telling myself that I'd spend less at the overseas gem show, but I spent double my budget there ..... oh well, I thought, I don't need to spend so much with Paul on his annual November run ........... but yes, I just spent another massive amount. I just can't say no to beautiful Gems, and Paul is a special case ! Why ? First because he's a fellow addict of beautiful stones. Secondly because he goes the extra furlong...
Well that's my clever title because I have to apologise for sending out an email with the wrong Title ! It should have been " Tantalising Taurus " because it was full of great info about the Taurus Full Moon just passing and how it was complicated by Venus Retrograde. I guess we all got a bit tired coping with that so mistakes are made. "The latest competition" was the title of the template we used ~ and we were so engrossed in the content we didn't even see it. Ouch. Sorry. Though when I think about it, handling those celestial challenges was the latest competition for us here at the Hear...
With Lau away on holidays, a mountain of new Gems to process, and no days off, I've been feeling fatigued. A mild hangover this morning didn't help ! Nevertheless I stuck to my goal of processing the big bag of Larimar I'd bought because the prices were so good. Larimar is a rare variety of Pectolite found only in the Dominican Republic, an Island in the Carribean, and it does carry a deep oceanic energy ~ emotionally relaxing, empowering and free flowing.

Hi Everyone ! It was a great flight back. So glad I swallowed my pride and accepted the wheelchair because going through Security and Immigration was a breeze. Big thanks to the staff at Thai Airways and Melbourne Airport ~ all positive helpful and caring.
I'm kind of laughing at myself right now. Because for 10 years my Mum had a bad knee ( yes, same one ) and just soldiered on until we all finally nagged her into a replacement with which she was really happy. Damn me if I ain't done exactly the same thing ! You know I really thought I'd done a lot of work on my "conditioning" with the spi...
Wow. Everything priced, bagged, and ready to ship with UPS tomorrow. One night off, then packing and flying. Despite allowing a few extra days, we've used all that extra time to the max. Although at least this trip Nicha didn't have to work through the night to fulfill our beading needs !
The Gremlins are still in force though. Remember the first day of buying I hobbled out with painful knee but everything was closed ? Well tonight we went out to eat at a very popular traditional Thai Restaurant to celebrate ~ Saeng Chai Pochana It was closed ! I've linked it in case any of you are travelli...
