Today Mel asks me if i wanna go ’shooting’ sometime. We’re also planning to go try muay thai soon. So thinking this was part of her new foray into violent hobbies, my immediate mental reaction was “uh we’re not yet in the US and she wants to go shoot? Heck why not..” I reply accordingly then Mel goes “Photography.” Oh, right. Looks like I’ve been in the US a little too long.

I had my 3rd last driving lesson yesterday and spent an hour in the circuit. While waiting to enter the directional change lot, I noted the driver infront of me was making a really wide reverse-right turn and was probably going to hit the curb, an immediate failure under test circumstances. Then I spotted the double L plates on the car- denoting the driver was taking the test. I sat there, horrified, watching the driver reverse into the left curb twice. My heart goes out to that driver. I really hope and pray that doesn’t happen on Monday!
violent hobbies?!?
who knows what you may have picked up from hanging out with the boys?
OK will pray for you right now. Heh. When I backed in for parking, I brushed the curb slightly. The tester raised an eyebrow. I raised mine.
Later on, he told me I was far too cautious, but congratulations. And that was it, I’d passed.
I will pray you do at least as well as I did (which wasn’t great, but hey, a pass is a pass!)
