Many things

hilsI'm home! YAY! That is probably the second worst hotel I've ever stayed in...well, maybe the third. It wasn't great at any rate and it's not often that I get homesick when I'm away but I did this time *cuddles stuff*
It's been a difficult couple of days. Dave was driving and he only passed his test 6 months ago and this is the longest trip he's ever done. He gets quite stressed when he's driving and he wanted me to navigate. It's difficult for me to tell him which lane to get into when I can't drive and don't understand some of the road signs (must start studying for my theory test) so there was a bit of sniping but not a huge amount. We did get lost but that was mostly down to the crap directions AA routefinder gave us. I think our company should buy a satnav for the car *nods*
We got back into York at 3pm and at 3:30 I had my driving lesson. I barely had time to sit down! It was good though. My instructor let me drive from the very beginning and I drove myself home afterwards too. Not bad after 3 lessons if I do say so myself. Of course I'm still making lots of little mistakes but my instructor seems mostly pleased with how I'm doing. Today I learned how to do an emergency stop (fun, but a little scary) and how to reverse (HARD!) as well as just driving around and going over the stuff I learned last week. The important thing is I'm still enjoying it and I've got the confidence to do stuff like drive home when given the choice.
Oh, and I've tweaked my layout a bit after the suggestions you guys made. How's it looking?
Inspiration hit last night and I know what I'm going to do with my Siren snippet...mostly.
My woobies have arrived! Well, sort of. I have to go and collect them from the depot because there's a customs fee to pay *grumbles* I'll have to get them on Thursday as I have aerobics straight after work tomorrow
Now I've got a couple of days of LJ posts to catch up on.
