The Purple Turtle

Tadaaaa!

The purple turtle has arrived!

This morning I took a driving lesson - and either it's the hormones or I'm just a whimp - the driving instructor made me cry!

9 years ago when I had my very first lessons a driving instructor told me off quite harshly and I just asked him if he would like to drive in high heeled platform shoes :-)

Today WAS different - even though he was a kind chap he told me I'm not safe to drive and I would fail a british test miserably.

And at home that set off an awful lot of tears!

But what do they say? Get back on the horse as quick as possible - so I sat myself in our new little car with Ryan by my side - and here we go - it wasn't that bad at all. Ryan did not have a heart attack and we are still alive :-)

Let's hope I'll soon get some more practise!

And now I'm off to the airport to pick up my parents who will be here for a 5 day visit - by train that is :-)

Being a baby elephant

Weight gain so far: 3.6kg!

Not bad I'd say - but I'm pretty sure it won't stay like that :-)

Thank god my scale remembers the weight for a minute or so! :-)

PANIC!

Tonight we're finally picking up the car we've bought a little while ago. But that means I have to drive as the mister doesn't have a drivers licence!

The little car is an old Corsa we've taken over from Ryans cousin - we promised him to carry on the loving name purple turtle :-)

So tomorrow I guess I will take a lesson to at least try to get used to the strange way of driving here. They drive on the other side in case you haven't noticed yet!!! :-)
