First trip on my own in the car yesterday. OK, perhaps I shouldn't have picked the Catford Gyratory System at rush hour for my exploratory outing, but at least I did it. I felt like such a fraud. Kept wanting to shout out of the window: "I can't drive, why hasn't anyone noticed?". Perhaps they had noticed, actually, but I didn't get tooted. I did, however, scrape the car very slightly on the gatepost (sorry husband) .. which somewhat took the shine off the day. But I feel so entirely liberated by knowing I can just get in the car and drive anywhere. It's SO exciting!
It's the office christmas party tonight, so I won't be driving anywhere, actually. Not unless I want to lose my licence before I receive it.
Beginning to feel festive at last - started wrapping pressies this morning. Will be very relieved when this sunday is over - I'm conducting the church 'choir' (bit of a strong word) for both morning and evening carol services. I've tried to impose a little subtlety onto their singing, but at the moment they could make Away in A Manger sound like Metallica. And they won't watch me conducting. I'm not one to usually shout "LOOK AT ME!" but at last night's practice i didn't have much choice. Oh well, God Rest Ye Merry - ladies and gentlemen. Until Sunday.
