(Sunday)

Last Sunday, while manipulating the patterns of symbols of the Astrologers' Zodiac, I became 'checked' on Cancer, * , realising that the double arrows of my dream** were virtually the same symbol, with the same meaning. I also wondered who this Astrological sign was appropriate to – without connecting that idea with the dream – and passed on.

Later, on Sunday night, [W] answered a message left that night from [F] on our answerphone and he told her that he had known since Thursday that he would have to go into hospital this Tuesday 27^th for an operation on his second cancerous lung and that he did not expect to come out. We had suspected cancer before but he had never told us.

On Monday morning I took a telephone call from the agent in Gloucestershire of the charitable trust from whom we had hoped to buy the old gamekeeper's cottage between Arina and Kenmore [in the Highlands], to be told that (a) that [particular] one was not available (although it had been empty apparently for 10 years and is falling down inside, an option expires in April and their trustee and ex-owner plans to 'do it up'); and that (b) although another property was becoming available, the policy of the Trust was to let, not sell, on a long lease at a yearly rent with reviews every 3 or 5 years – not an entertaining prospect. We decided to abandon the idea of moving there.
