Spread your wings and fly away

The horse personality is often willing to give as well as expecting a lot of liberty. These people are extremely independent and confident. The horse person is very quick-witted, inquisitive and determined, it is right in there with you before you have had a chance to finish what you are saying: he's on to the thought in your mind even before you've expressed it. In general, these people are gifted. But in truth they are often more cunning than intelligent - and they surely know that. They adore being the centre of everyone's attention, but they prefer to be recognized for their skills and are easily flattered. On the other hand these people have an honesty and genuine warmth which attracts lots of people and helps them make new friends. People as a rule confide in a horse person because he/she is sincerely interested in their thoughts and feelings and is able to help with both wise words and an action, but there is a small problem about it - the horse person is so excited by new discoveries that it is difficult for them to keep a secret. This is not something that arises out of malice or revenge - sometimes they just cannot help themselves.

It is easy to inspire such a person by new ideas and he/she tends to act on them without delay, carried away by the excitement of the moment. But it is also important to remember that there is a danger for a horse person to be too impulsive and it may cause some problems in the future. And if they do not see the result of their efforts, it is rather natural for them to turn their attention to a new project and head off once again, brimming with new ideas. The horse person is always ready to offer good advice and can be very persuasive, but his/her confident and carefree approach hides inner doubts. Those who know such a person will recognize this, and offer the support and reassurance he/she needs. A male that is born in the year of the horse is considered as a charming, suave person to a member of the opposite sex.

Horses should beware of the Rat, as any relationship with this sign is said to be extremely trying for the horse. Of all relationships between Chinese zodiac signs, a relationship between a rat and a horse is said to be the worst (this relationship from a historical point of view, climaxed or was at its worst at the height of World War II, when Germany governed primarily by the sign of the rat threatened the destruction of the Jews (Israel, which is governed primarily by the horse)). The rat is way too calculating, dictatorial and possessive for the free-spirited and independent horse. A relationship with a rat can potentially break down the horse's free-spirit and cause rage in the rat - as neither will be willing to yield to the other. However, horses get along great with Tigers and Dogs.

Possible professions for people that are born on the year of the horse are that of an intelligence agent, a writer or novelist, an actor or a model.

.............but I forgot, you have to explain in great detail, several times how to delet an email!

Yes fun at MIL. Logged on computer.

first question "how do I know I have got an email?"
second question "how do I delete it"
Third question "how do I send an email"
fourth question "where is my address book"

Now you are forgiven for thinking I am being a complete bitch. You are sitting there thinking she must be new to all this which is why she is asking - why faffa are you being so cruel?

If she was new to it I would understand. However she has been on several computer courses, run for free by the local library, all of which she has certificates for, all of which show her competence in using word, email, and databases!

Then there is the problem that she has downloaded things from various sites that she cannot find now, or that she cannot read. why? She doesn't have adobe. So sorted that out. I was there from 11.30 till 3.15, tearing hair out in clumps and smiling inanely while I patiently explained everything to her again, again and again.

"why are you going into that file" she says

"what are you doing now"

"why did you delete that"

In the process of trying to get rid of things she doesn't need and that were slowing her computer down.

Then discovered she hadn't run anti virus recently, so did a quick scan "why do that" she says AAAGGGHHHH

I came away hungry (no food offered) and stressed.

Chilling out with a lovely cuppa now

Another Friday has come around.

Another Friday where I don't get to do what I need to do.

I am so tired this morning, yet I went to bed quite early last night to make up for the couple of late nights I had previously. I am feeling fluey again as well but cannot wallow, too much to do!

I have a hair appointment at 11, but before that I need to pop into town and sort a few bits out, then after getting hair done, show MIL how to work her computer again! Pick Youngest up from school, feed kids, take youngest to swimming lesson then perhaps I can put my feet up! Washing, ironing and housework will have to wait until tomorrow.

Right must make a move or I will be sat here all day and even less will get done!

Have a good day
