Well not mine yet or anything.
But I had my first lesson today!! Woohoo!
Apparently my steering is very, very good which I was told by 3 different people is something nigh on impossible to teach, so I am happy that at least that is taken care of more or less. A bit wobbly at the start but we were going round and round a car park quite well at the end. Just need to grasp the clutch interaction a bit better and be lighter on the gas at first - no more than 2 revs. However I didn't stall or anything and really enjoyed it, even when a van tried to budge me out of the way when overtaking a parked lorry.
Calm, calm, calm.
I only swore once. So not bad for a lesson in the dark I say.
And a total coincidence that I found out that my driving instructor also taught Helen, who used to work with me, so I've just e-mailed her in Oz to tell her and pass on his message. Just love co-incidences like that.
So next outing for those that need to stay off the streets is Wednesday a.m. - ten to eight! You have been warned.
Right, off to catch a spot of dinner and would you believe it, this day has been rather nice for my brother who got the results of his Masters, he's now an MA with merit. :oD
I also received one of my stickles orders (the one with liquid pearls) and on top of that KI Joyful and Alpine Woohoo!!!
Will see if I manage to get creative later tonight.
LOL LOVE your blog title Nat.. Congrats on your safe first driving lesson.. Looking forward to hearing more of your adventures. Also a Big Congrats to your brother :-)

Well, you know if you can master driving in the dark, everything else should be a doddle. Well done!
