Faster

I thought I would mention something that happened last week, that probably shouldn't have, on the day of my test. I had just had the eye test and was putting my seat belt on.
See below:

Examiner: "As part of your safety checks Miss Fuff, can you please test the car's horn"

Me: "Errr, no"

Examiner: "Why not"?

Me: "I'm not supposed to when stationary, in a built up area and it's not yet 0730"

Examiner: "Test the horn"

Me: "I'm not doing it"

Repeat above 5 or 6 times

Examiner: "Ok. If you don't test the horn, we won't be able to proceed with the rest of your test. (examiner paws at middle of steering wheel, however ignition is off and there is no sound) Look, I'm doing it so it's got to be allowed; sound the horn"

By this point, I think he took pity on me, as I was looking at him as though he were about to poke my eyes out; so I duly switched the ignition on and nervously tapped the steering wheel.

Horn: "Beep"

Examiner: "Right, let's get on then shall we"?

Poor guy. As if my arguing wasn't enough, I grabbed his face and kissed him when he decided I'd passed.

I passed

Friday again and trying very hard not to biff the person who is antagonising me at work in the head, because it's Friday and also because I'm looking forward to the weekend.

Why I'm relishing the prospect of cleaning teak grab rails and scrubbing decks I have no idea, but the big boss from Fur's work has invited himself for a spot of sailing next week, so we are going to pretend to be organised.
I was thinking about leaving the hard work until we know what the weather will be doing.

The last time he came out with us, he insisted we cast off in a really 'orrid blow/pissing rain, which we agreed to, as we knew we'd deal with it, but didn't want to ruin our shampoos and sets or swallow any seawater that day.

Not being used to so much tipping and whizzing actually rather frightened him; which in turn made up for my annoyance in going out in the first place.
Anyhoo, he's not going to notice that the tiller's gone green if he's scared is he?

I also have a lesson with a different driving instructor on Saturday, who will hopefully be able to help me with the manouvre I so badly screwed up in my test. The other reason I have changed instructors, is that my previous instructor has a morbid fear of the 'other' test centre. I could only arrange a re-test at short notice at the 'other' test centre, something she immediately remarked upon in a less than positive manner.
I naturally dropped that hot potato, as the last thing I need after my first experience, is the feeling that I am not going to do it, whether I perform or not.

That's all I can be bothered to type for now, moff to buy a fruit salad cos I'm feeling pious.

Have a lovely weekend.

Forget the floaty saily lark.
I failed my driving test today and am feeling as rubbish as a limpet on a wetsuit.
