Vroooooom meep meep!

So tomorrow, it's back to reality when the Christmas hols end and I have to get up in the dark and go to work. Bah humbug, say I!

But wait!

Tomorrow's journey to work shall not be unpleasant, long, cold and filled with the pong of unwashed underarms and sweaty socks. Oh no, not for I the over-full bus and the indignity of jolting along with someone's bum pressed into my groin. For I have...

A CAR!!! 

Please excuse the slightly blurry quality of the photo - I was a little excited at the time of taking it :)

So going back to a manual after driving the Doozer's automatic for the past two and a half months has proven a little nerve-wracking, especially after an encounter with a large black gentleman in the Tesco's carpark who kindly got out of his car and banged on my window, offering to teach me how to park, but I have every confidence that I'll get the hang of it again soon, and be whizzing around in no time. Plus Luigi is so cute he's worth the anxiety.

And not getting on the bus with the kids I work with?

Priceless :)
