So I took my Driving Test today. Woke up to Rain, mist and a distinct lack of light (oh what a fair and beautiful country we live in!). Instructor picked me up an hour before the test (8.17), to do some last minute practising and going over a few details. I wasn't really nervous until I got to the test centre and headed off with the examiner back to the car, without my instructor. That certainly got the nerves going. Then the test itself - I was very, very nervous. I often like to think I thrive in potentially difficult situation but something about the atmosphere of the test made me incredibly nervous, which I wasn't quite expecting. I stalled the car at one point - something I haven't done in my driving lessons for at least a month I think. The 40 minutes or so I was out with examiner on the road seemed like an eternity, but eventually we wound back at the car park where we'd started. I was faily sure at this point that I'd failed. But I hadn't. My examiner was not the most enthusiastic of people and so muttered something about 'you've passed'. Think it took a while to settle in because the nerves from the test and the hidden adrenaline had reached that point of wear when you reach the end. My instructor was impressed that I only got 8 minor faults (you're allowed up to 16) and I bid him farewell, feeling generally thankful that through my sister I'd managed to find such an excellent Instructor who is really the one who got me through this, most dreaded of things! First time as well!

Suppose I'd better buy a car now, hadn't I?

And also, the other night in wetherspoons was fun. Did I drink too much? I don't remember.....
