I guess he was in Norway because he was pining for the fjords. Why didn't he just silly walk back to Brussels? But then nobody expects an erupting Icelandic volcano. Its two chief meteorlogical effects are ash, a dust cloud, and diminished- its THREE chief meteorological effects etc. etc. Oh it's junior high school all over again.

Daily Horoscope for June 3

Gemini

Do a little lateral thinking today and it will work wonders. Don't feel hidebound because you're supposed to do things in a certain way, because this is a great opportunity to try a different approach for a change. Even so, you may have to play down your unorthodox technique when talking to anyone who sticks rigidly to convention.
