Happy Friday!
1. We bought a car over the weekend. For once in my life (I am horribly indecisive) I went into a shop knowing EXACTLY what I was looking for. A used diesel DS3. Instead, we left with a new petrol Citroen C3. How did that even happen? Her name is Bird, and she's red with a black roof. We weren't expecting her to be ready for another couple of weeks, but she's already in town and we sign all the paperwork tomorrow before picking her up next Thursday!
2. Driving lesson #3 was this morning. We are doing roundabouts and I proper panicked today. I don't know why, we did a few roundabouts last week and I was amazed at my progress. But my instructor could see I was working myself into such a frenzy, he had me drive back to the "safety blanket" of the estate where we sat and he gave me a pep talk. Then we went out again, and I was much better the next two times. Couldn't ask for a better instructor, really. Admittedly, in hindsight, I probably wasn't in the best frame of mind to be driving (read more below), but if nothing else, I've taken away from this experience the knowledge of just how much your driving can be affected by stress/anxiety/mood.
3. SOMEBODY -- A HUMAN -- SHAT IN OUR PRIVATE CAR PARK. Apologies for the caps and language, but, I mean, SERIOUSLY?! I'd like (maybe?) to think it was a dog, but it would have been a really big dog, and the deed was done nestled in this little spot of the car park between our car and the brick wall behind. And the car was double parked at a diagonal across our two spaces. So it very much looks like someone was trying to hide back there, probably a drunk person on the way back from a pub/club on Wednesday night. I've had to explain this to three different people on the phone (rang 101 and the council), and it just sounds more bizarre every time I do.
4. We are going to London again on Sunday for another concert. Hoping we can nip back to Camden market for some yummy food!
5. My cat in a too-small box yesterday:
