1. 'When you�re pointing your car down the wrong side of the motorway. Sooner or later, you�re going to hit an oncoming car.' An interesting quote I heard today. Something to bear in mind I think. Turn the car around they say. Easier said than done in my opinion.

2. On a different note, why do I bother to make plans I wonder? Things I had been looking forward to have already gone wrong or are now tinged with concern. People turning up, people not turning up, people saying more than they should, people not saying enough. You know how it is. Nothing ever happens as you hope. You just have to go with it don't you?

3. Obviously with the approaching non-birthday that is happening this year, I have been thinking about the last few years. I was born in the year of the rabbit (sadly not goat) and have been reading up on it. I think this description is pretty accurate.

'The Chinese Rabbit is popular for its warm nature and sensitivity. Vulnerable creatures, they need love and protection to thrive.

As a Rabbit, you feel most comfortable in the hub of a large group of close friends or family. You don't deal well with isolation or loneliness and depend on others for emotional support and validation.

Bunnies are incapable of fighting alone, so tend to bolt if faced with problems or arguments. Sometimes, even minor decision-making can be traumatic for poor Rabbits.

Rabbits have keen senses of smell but this goes beyond the physical - you are extremely sensitive to people and situations and your intuition is seldom wrong. Many Rabbits are also psychically gifted.

The Rabbit is most compatible with the Goat or the Pig.'
