Driving went well, but now I ache. Four hours of driving is practically inhumane; I thought I was going to meld into the seat. Anyway, we've ironed out the problems that cropped up on my first test and I am now the mistress of changing lanes, negotiating horrendous roundabouts and reversing around bulgy corners. On the mock test I did this afternoon--which I failed, but I'm not so worried about that--I had the pleasure of eleven roundabouts. I might pass this time! I have so many things that I want to do....

Did I mention that my legs hurt? Heavy traffic = lots of clutch work. Ow.

I also did some writing on the train back from Reading. I now have an outline of my James/Lars Garage Days fic jotted down, along with the odd sentence or two which popped into my head. If I can still read my handwriting tomorrow--the train was very jerky today--then I'll start writing properly.

Four hours? I'd be dead mate, honest. And go you - you'll get it this time, I'm sure!

I was amazed that I could still drive in a straight line by the end of it! Absolutely knackering. I could do London-Bristol and back in that time!

And... thanks. *hugs*

If your legs hurt you might want to try moving the seat a bit... Might help!

Oh, all of me hurts. The seat was in the perfect position for me; my body just didn't enjoy doing the same stuff for four hours running :P Remember, I'm not as fit as you!

Next test is on the 19th!

As somebody from a nearly roundabout-free country I can attest you that driving English monster-roundabout is one of the worst things that can happen to you in traffic. If you mastered those you will master everything.

I think lane-changing is worse, for me, but I can understand roundabouts not being fun if you're not used to them!

Playing catch-up today and wanted to wish you luck on your official test next week. Four hours like that? Ouchie!

Thanks, Keli! Mercifully all my aches have now disappeared and I'm looking forward to the test.
