The good and the bad

[hils]

You guys are awesome! You've come up with some wonderful (and strange) things for me to post about. I still have some letter free so if no one else offers anything overnight I'll open it up for anyone to pick a second letter if they want.

I had a crap driving lesson where I messed up all my manouvers and nearly hit a cyclist. I was nearly in tears by the end and massively panicking because my test is in 6 weeks. My instructor assured me it was just a bad day, and everyone has them, and that she wouldn't let me do my test if she didn't think I was ready. I just hope next week is better.

On the other hand the Torchwood game was MASSES of fun. I met Dick Turpin and rode through town on his horse during a temporal rift (for those who don't know Dick Turpin spent the latter part of his life in the York area and was eventually hanged here). I'm really looking forward to the big game on Saturday.

Right, bedtime for sleepy Hillums

No worries about the driving. We all have bad days, and you will have them when you have your license too. Remember it was ALMOST hit the cyclist, not I hit him. hang in there!

You get 10 points for a cyclist hon. 50 for one of those revved up wheelchair things people insist on driving in the road ;)

Hopefully next week will be better and I'll settle down a bit

The reckon you need 1.5 hours of lessons for every year of your life, plus you have to do a driving theory test. Trust me, I know people who had lessons for well over a year before taking their test. The fact that it's only taken me 7 months is good! LOL!

I guess it also depends whether you have a car to practise in between lessons. I don't.

Plus we all drive stick and have all those tricky gears to learn ;)
