Hmmmm, we were supposed to be going to the Gothla hafla tonight, but torrential rain tells us that safety is better...driving home at 2 in the morning in dark made all the more pitch-ier by incrediably enthusiastic rain is not a thought that takes me to a happy place ( Read more... )

Driving lesson was horrible today....I was tense and achey by the time I got back...not sure if it's because it was later in the day [more everything around] or just because Maurice upped the pace....back on track for early Sunday morning lessons now!!
