Flighty, Fickle and Fanciful ...

Wahoo!

I did it!

I took the bull by the horns and I just drove for two whole hours - without getting shouted at!

Instructor says there's no reason why I can't have my test over and done with by September - frakkin hell!

It's all about confidence - which sadly I lack in most areas of my life right now but I'll get there in the end.

My 'L' plates are ready to rock and roll and the instructor says the more I practise between lessons the better.

So I'm a happy bunny and am going to wash my car tomorrow.

Ok ...

I'm nearly 39 years old and today I have my first 'proper' driving lesson in 12 years ....

If you live in the West Midlands please stay indoors between 3 and 5pm today!

Only a year ago I said that I didn't want to drive a car, now it's become a necessity, not only am I shitting a big heavy local blue brick but I'm quite excited as I have shiny R reg Purple Ford Fiesta sitting on my drive just waiting for me to stick my 'L' plates onto, so that I can practise hard by driving to and from work.

It's been a busy week at Sketchweasel Towers and Hedgewolf has been tidying and sorting and doing a bit of building and gardening and sorting of the house, boxes have been emptied, sifted and shifted. Hurrah, we are now officially unpacked. It's taken 8 months but finally we are moved in!!

So I'm now waiting with mixed feelings for my new driving instructor to arrive from the AA - ooh scared now ... (just going to hide in the toilet for a bit!)

More later ......
