Visas
Yesterday was something of a headless chicken on hot coals day. I got my forms for the visas and they told me I needed them back that day. Cue a lot of panic. No ink in the printer so I had to dive to mum's work get them, go and get passport photos down (first two machines we tried weren't working!) and then a hectic 2 hours of working all the dates for the visas out, filling them in and getting them to the post in time. I had an early night after that!

Driving Lessons
I got to do emergency stops today. Those were awesome fun. When I broke it to my driving instructor I would be leaving in a couple of weeks he decided to think on whether I could take the test on less than 12 lessons! So eekily I will know more on Tuesday. My new problem is mirrors, remembering and not letting my steering go a little skewy.

Sir Bobby Robson
It is so sad that he dies in the year that Newcastle go down. He was a great gent. I got to meet him while I was working at Waterstones. I remember his carer saying he could only stay a for a short period of time and he stayed on longer smiling and greeting the fans. He was a true Geordy

F1
I knew there was going to be an exciting end to the season, I just knew it. Schumi is back. I can't wait to see him on the track again. I wonder what the Ferrari will manage with him at the wheel.

Oddly I was more nervous about this lesson than the first two. I don't know what started that off. However the right hand turns were much better. I was pulling out smoothly and had definitely lost the edge of panic.

Now I have an aversion to roundabouts where I am hesitating now and using my mirrors before indicating. I caused some laughter by muttering mirrors mirrors to myself.

I only have one hand so I drive an automatic. But the fun bit I thought interest you all is the adaption that goes on the wheel (mine goes on the left side)

The first one finally happened today. There were no disasters or near misses. I even went around a couple of evil roundabouts and managed to reverse at the end.

My highest compliment?

You can drive in a straight line

(apparently this isn't easy to do)
