Happy Chinese New Year!

It’s the Year of The Rat
The Personality of the Rat may resonate with anyone who has ever had a pet rat? ? They are the most fabulous pets, or so I am told .....
People born in the Year of the Rat are characterised as smart, resourceful and quick-witted. They have great imaginations and make sharp observations, with the ability to take advantage of several opportunities.

I am not ashamed to say I am a rat, as is my SIL but I would have to say it with a big smile as he is the best SIL you could wish for.
I have also read that to meet challenges head-on in “”my” year, I should wear red underwear every day!
As if that’s going to happen grin
Any more Rats on GN?

Another 1954 Horse here. Our best match is a Goat, worse a Rat.

And our best hours are 11.00 - 13.00 when horses 'gallop and prance joyfully in the fields' smile

Blimey Maw!; Are you still opening Chinese Christmas crackers?
You can team up with Ann next year and be a pair of oxen; I wonder what colour then? blush

I'm a Rat, and so is one of my sons.

There's always been something of the farmyard about me
Nice to know you're always happy! They often say down on the farm; "happy as a pig in something or other! grin

I am a monkey, which doesn't surprise me; I am small and have to jump up on the kitchen base units to reach things in the top cupboards; so monkey is quite apt really!

BBbevan Sun 26-Jan-20 05:46:08

I am a Wood Monkey.

I’m a bore, oh I meant a boar/pig.?. The pig was last year and I thought it would be a lucky year for me, but a Chinese woman said no and tied a thin red thread bracelet round my wrist.
It was a so so year. I sometimes go to the Chinese celebrations in the city, but hibernating at the mo. Also don’t fancy that virus...?

The 1954 Horse people need to pay attention to their health condition in the year of 2020. Although they will not suffer from fatal diseases, the slow-moving diseases that have plagued them for many years should not be underestimated. They are getting older and their energy is getting worse, so they should learn to lighten their workload and put their health in the first place.

People with Chinese zodiac Horse born in 1954 have good communication skills and they are good at establishing good interpersonal relationships with other people. They are pacifists and have good temper, so they are good at communication and coordination. The Wood Horse can think of others in everything so they are popular among their friends. In addition, they have rich imagination and keen observation, and have incisive and original views on things.

The Wood Horse born in the year of 1954 has a strong body. They even seldom suffer from minor diseases such as fever, cold and cough. But as they are getting older, it is necessary to keep an eye on physical health. A good work and rest habits and nutritious food are very essential. In addition, they should better exercise every day to strengthen their resistance to diseases.

Interesting!

Hetty58 Sat 25-Jan-20 16:30:55

I'm a snake too - and proud of it!

annsixty Sat 25-Jan-20 16:26:24

My H was a Rat, whether a typical one I cannot be sure .
I am an Ox, I think I am plodding and pedestrian, and up until recently as strong as one.
Unfortunately some people think I still am and expect more of me than I am capable of.

Chewbacca Sat 25-Jan-20 16:24:28

I'm a horse. I certainly work like one!
