I can think of nothing else other than driving (and my irrational fear of it!) and I am certain this obsession will only get worse as I get closer to actually taking the test. Here is my new DVD - as you can see there are some short video sequences that show you how to handle certain things. This one is getting ready to turn right at a roundabout and makes it look like a piece of piss. Hopefully it will prove to be just that tomorrow. T-minus 12 hours until my second "first" lesson.

Dear Fellow Bus Rider,
Eventhough you have ear buds in your ear, everyone else can still hear your horrible death metal music when it's coming out if said earbuds at such an unecessary volume. Have fun being deaf when you are 30.

Love,
Carey

We went for a little walk today into Bagshot and came across this lovely message written in a dirty window. Hope you can read it :)

We had a lovely family day at the beach in Southsea today! I promised Mirra I would take her to see ocean one day and while she wasnt that impressed she did actually run on the beach which was absolutely adorable!

I was wise enough to bring some Lucky Charms back from America (you can buy them here, but they are about £7 a box) and happily enjoyed this breakfast of champions this morning. Hmm marshmellows!

Look at this shit bus that came tonight! Bronco colours?? Ew. But even worse look at the dickhole with his feet on the cloth seat. It's raining which means that his shoes are wet and gross and he's got them on a seat where someone else may need to sit. If anyone knows this guy, tell him he's a cock. Oh and teach him to use proper English too. Note to Little Inconsiderate Boy: "where was you" is grossly incorrect and makes you look like a knob - which you are. Have a nice day.

Now it's this light at 5pm (which is actually about 90% light despite how it looks in the crap photo). Thanks Mother Nature!

Happy Pancake Day!

So, its officially called Shrove Tuesday, and is also observed in America, but I've never heard of it before moving here. Basically, its always on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday (start of Lent) and is supposed to be a way for people to use up all their eggs, fat (butter) and sugar before Lent since I guess you aren't supposed to eat all that stuff during Lent. Whatever - its also a reason to eat heart shaped pancakes for us. Yay.

I am terrified of over-filled balloons. Not just silly scared of them, but scared to the point where it effects me physically. They make my palms sweat, my heart beat faster, my stomach sick, etc. Especially when they are in the hands of a child, or even worse - a BABY! This one was on the bus today and its owner was a young-ish girl who kept pulling on it, making it hit the roof of the bus and even sometimes holding and squeezing it! Why do people fill balloons so full??? When the bottom of it bubbles out like this one, they are bound to pop at any moment!! It certainly made for a very uncomfortable bus ride...

We did some redecorating today including painting, wallpapering, and this awesome light above the dining room table. Photos of the full transformation to come!

Bus grafitii. C'mon kids, didn't your parents teach you to respect other people's property?

I visited my friend Taco Bell today and as you can tell, he must have missed me too.

Oh Super Target how I have missed you.

We went to the Colorado Railroad Museum with my dad today. Here's dad and me by the Galloping Goose (a train with a converted car as the engine). I love you, Dad!

We flew to Denver today and whilst waiting to pick up our bags at DIA, I noticed this woman had been on our flight. She wore THAT on a 9.5 hour flight? Posh Spice would be proud.

Here we are stuck in traffic for over an hour this morning due to the miniscule amount of snow-ish substance which fell over night. Pathetic!
