My wheelz

I've got a car! Yay! We ended up not going with the Toyota Aygo in the end as Rob felt that a slightly bigger car might be more practical and safer for me, should I ever be in an accident. It's still a "supermini" class type car - a Citroën C3 from -03. We went and had a look at it yesterday and it's been well taken care of and was clean and tidy and ran well so we both felt happy wth it. As a stroke of luck we found comprehensive insurance for the right money as well, so I'm really, really happy now.

Weekeeeend!

We've got a long weekend here this week as Monday is a bank holiday ("red day", no reason, they just put one now because they felt like it - I think...). Yesterday me and Rob went to his boss' house (the Big Boss) as they were having a proble with the broadband in their home offices. They live out in the countryside and the house was amazing. I've seen hotels that are less posh! It's got to be an old victorian mansion or something like that, with stables in the yard. When we drove through the gates I could just about hear angels sing... They own my dream life! Rob asked if I liked the house and I said "You know when I say I'd like to have a detached house in the country? This is what I meant.". I wouldn't quite need as big a house, but the style of it was fantastic. They also had two gorgeous dogs :) A Rhodesian Ridgeback who was leaning on me for some fuss. Loved him!

I can't sleep...

I can't sleep. Well at least not yet... I will give it a try again in a few minutes, I just needed something to distract me for a minute or two. I am tired, but not the sleepy kind of tired tonight.

Tomorrow will be quite exciting in a way. First it's work and business as usual, but at 18 there is a driving instructor coming to pick me up at the house.

I am going to drive a vehicle on the left hand side of the road for the first time in my life.

I am only ever so slightly nervous, but not half as nervous as the people of Burton would be if they knew. The instructor sounded nice though. I explained my situation to her and she understood where I was coming from. I'm guessing it's not every day she gets calls from someone who's had their lisence for closer to a decade... To be honest, I don't think there will be too big a problem as soon as I get the gear shifts down (that will be the tricky bit, plus Rob keeps trying to convince me the clutch, break and gas are in a different order in cars here, which isn't helping...). This is just to make sure I feel confident driving on my own when we do get me a car.

I really should try and get some sleep though... Big day tomorrow ;)

Nighty night all :3

Playing catch-up and Piglet

I can't even remember when I wrote here last time :P Think that was after the Shire Horse Society Spring Show. So many times I've thought "I really need to get my blog updated again", mostly because it's awesome  being able to look back at posts a year later and remember things and feelings. It's a spare memory outside your head, which is fantastic :)
