Mercury Retro Starts Oct 11th 2007

All my favourite astrologers are talking about the upcoming Mercury retrograde period that starts Friday 12th Oct in Australia and continues through to Nov 2.

When Mercury appears to be going backwards in the sky it is a time when communications can become tricky. Mercury rules all kinds of communications related activity.

The current mercury retrograde is discussed quite fully in this article by Rob Tillett on Astrology.com. If you want to learn more about Mercury Retrograde in 2007 and all retrograde planets, writerinthewindow.com has dates and simple explanations.

Back to School

I’m actually looking forward to returning to school. I’ve been a bit of a hermit these holidays and it will be good to catch up with my friends and to see the kids.

The last term is usually a very quick and frantic term and I feel quite prepared and rested and recovered from last terms pains. I am planning some trips for the next holidays because I don’t think I could do another holiday totally at home like this. I have spent the last two breaks virtually at home. My home is in order now. I feel free to take off again next chance I get.

Kate Bush Covers

My brother Tim, (the musical one) directed my attention to the latest version of a classic Kate Bush song, “Wuthering Heights” by Josh Pyke. I have it on myspace. It’s not bad. I think her songs are awesome in themselves and enjoy different versions of them.

Placebo’s version of Kate Bush’s ‘Running Up That Hill’. The video is an interesting compilation of fans. There’s a live version of them singing it on YouTube, if you are interested.

This artist also has a great version of one of my favourite Kate songs. I like what he says at the start of the clip also.Maxwell sings “This Woman’s Work”

There are more, but some are not so good. I am patiently waiting for my ‘Never For Ever’ CD to replace my scratched LP.
