The coming week is likely to see a great many individuals snatching victory from the jaws of defeat -- but what those victories are, and whether they are large or small, will depend solely upon the combatant concerned, and there is every chance that much will be done this week that is worth remembering and celebrating in the future. There will still be episodes, developments and circumstances this week that are not favorable to the kind of work or play that everyone is used to, but they won't stop the industrious from doing all that is possible.
