I wrote the previous entry and then I went and looked at my horoscope:

"There are times when you can achieve a great deal. You merely have to look at people and they start offering to do your bidding. Sometimes, they even read your mind and realise what it is you need without you even having to ask. Then there are the occasions when you may as well be speaking Swahili for all the impact you are having."

The heebie-hjeebies.
