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!
THE PUB QUIZ WINNERS!! (minus me, of course) David, his mom, Mirra and I went to the Rose and Thistle for their pub quiz tonight and we won with a score of 37 out of 50. GO US!!
We went to the Berkshire (which is pronounced BARK-sheer for some reason) Royal County Show today and saw some pigs and goats and David scared the crap out of himself while he fired this gun.
Now that I have one driving lesson under my belt, it is apparently time to buy a car. We decided that we were going to get a Mini, but then realized that due to their popularity and the fact that I need an automatic (which seems to be relatively rare) a Mini would be a fairly expensive option. Bye bye to dream of whizzing around Italian Job style; hello to my a new dream of a Renault Megane Convertible.
We saw this one at a dealership today surrounded by boring Ford Focuses and Vauxhalls and I fell in love. David is less than thrilled with my choice and said I cant have a French car because the French dont know how to make cars, and these are hard to find in automatics also, but my dream is not dead yet!
What I learned today: Batting your eyelashes at your husband begging for a new car doesnt work.
