Time for another driving update....

[allana]

I rock!!

Just had another driving lesson which was fabulous. We started off by driving along a tricky little road which starts as a single lane then turns into dual-lane traffic after a humpback bridge, segues into a hairpin bend, and after three further humpbacks (and more interesting bends) joins a B-road. Hugely fun from either direction and I didn't even flinch into oncoming traffic. Yay! Then we drove into the next town along and Sarah managed to find some roads which were completely new to me. Everything went incredibly well, even in heavy rain.

Next week we're going onto manoevers and then I'll just have to cover high speed roads and I'll be ready for my test! I'd better book a theory test and start revising properly for that....

My eyes are improving, well, the left eye is. The right eye is more or less the same, but the cataract is slightly increased in size. I'm going to go to the opticians and get a more powerful lens for that eye which should improve matters.

And in further good news, my Amazon order has turned up earlier than expected. I'll be curling up on the couch this afternoon with a stack of books and some music in the background!

YAY! Isn't driving fun? You do rock, Ang. :D

Glad to hear your eyes are better/not worse. Have fun on the couch--I envy you... ;)

All in all a good day, Ang! YAY!!! I'm glad the driving is going well - for me, there's nothing better than the open road, a warm sunny day, 'Tallica tunes on the CD player and no traffic in sight whatsoever! One of my ideas of heaven! A little company in the car would be nice too - but then we're venturing into fantasyland, aren't we? ;)

And good news about your eyes, hon! And the book order! Whoohooo!

Well done you! :D Yay on the driving and yay yay on the eyeses :)

p.s. A said "i was on your lj earlier and reading comments. Is that the same Ang? Why is her photo of some bloke? Has she had a _lot_ of surgery"

[silicondreams.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. You rock. :D

*falls over laughing*

Och, tell him I'm a post-op transsexual--would he like a date?

I think I'll be giggling all afternoon now! That's made my day :D

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Lia! *smooch* Hope you're feeling a bit better?

[silicondreams.livejournal.com]

Yep. I've passed the disease to Motty! *evil laugh*

[screwthedaisies.livejournal.com]

You mean you don't really look like that?

~tosses crush out the window~

[screwthedaisies.livejournal.com]

Yay driving! Yay lens! YAY BOOKS!

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

It is! I'm already making grand plans for what I'll do once I have my licence :) Dave will have to pry me out of the driving seat with a crowbar if he hopes to be able to drive anywhere.

Thanks Brigitte :)

Are you heartbroken, H?

~sends over some chocolate~

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

Yes! Apart from the deluge of rain, it's been a perfect day :D

I'm looking forward to the prospect of driving alone, with Tallica blaring out of the stereo! Sounds like heaven to me!

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

Yay everything! I'm enjoying Choke so far....

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

Poor Motty! Still, at least it wasn't total exhaustion.... You'll still be going to bed early, right? :)

/maternal-mode.

Yay even more! I love Choke. It's the one Chuck novel I don't own, though, 'cause I checked it out from the library.

Actually, I'm just thrilled that I've stopped associating the icon with Joolz. For the longest time I kept getting confused, then I'd have to hit myself and say, "She's not ON livejournal for cryin' out loud!"

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

I never even considered that I could be confused with Joolz! Whoops.

[silentinflames.livejournal.com]

And isn't that the truth? I even addressed her as "Julie" once, lol!

[screwthedaisies.livejournal.com]

A-ha! I wasn't alone! lol

[kelpierocks.livejournal.com]

Yay for you! You rock! I suspect your first solo trip once you have the license will be somewhere, anywhere, but with those 'Tallica tunes!

Glad you're having a good day, with good news about the eyes, and Amazon as well. Hooray! Sending along hugs.

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

Thanks Keli! *hugs back* Hope you're feeling better this week!

Yaaaaaay, Ang!
